MY PARENTS WHO ARE BOTH VENEZUELAN AND HARDWORKING PEOPLE.

I AM FROM VENEZUELA AND SO IS THE REST OF MY FAMILY. WE ENJOY MANY VENEZUELAN CUISINES

I LIVE IN FT. LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA. MY NEIGHBORHOOD IS REALLY CLOSE TO THE BEACH. THERE IS COMBINATION OF HOUSES AND APARTMENTS IN MY AREA.

THE BEST ADVICE I EVER HAD WAS THAT IF I WANTED SOMETHING I WORKED HARD FOR IT.

ITS NOT FAIR THAT PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FEEL SAFE IN THEIR OWN CITY BECAUSE OF CRIME OR TERRORISM.

I HOPE ONE DAY I CAN OWN A BUSINESS AND USE THE LESSONS I LEARNED FROM MY PARENTS AND TEACHERS.

I LOOK BACK AT MY LIFE AND REALIZE HOW WONDERFUL IT HAS BEEN AND WOULDN'T CHANGE A THING.
