Hello, my name is Adriel Berrios, and I am 16 years old. I have lived in Holyoke, Massachusetts my entire life, but both of my parents are from Puerto Rico.  During my free time, what I like to do is sing, act, and play different instruments. Singing has always ran in my family since my dad is an opera singer. I'm also in the Holyoke High School Madrigal choir and in the Holyoke High School Orchestra. I play the violin and the viola in the Orchestra. Life here isn't necessarily bad, but the weather can be pretty annoying at times. It's constantly getting hot and cold and the weather just can't decide what it wants to be. I personally like the environment since there are other people like me all around me and I have lots of good friends here. In the future, I don't really know what I want to do. I know that I would want music in my life, but I don't know how much of it I would want in my future. Hopefully, I'll be able to achieve my goals and maybe become big some day, we'll see.

My name is Mercedes, I am 16,I live In Holyoke, and go to Holyoke high school, almost everyone is Puerto Rican here, but I am Salvadorian. Not many people that are Salvadorian go here that I know. I went to 4 different schools in the past year and I've moved here a year ago. The city of Holyoke has a lot of homeless people because there used to be a lot of paper factories around here, until they ran out of business, people lost jobs and a lot of abandoned buildings and trash. Sad. People that don't  live in Holyoke, think its a scary place to live because of the type of people, I never ran into problems and the people who are scared of Holyoke just never got to know the people here.,  Holyoke is comfortable for me because there is a lot of hispanic kids here who haven't grown up with the easiest of lives, I can relate to them because of that. When I grow up I want to be a respiratory therapist or a Epidemiologist, that's in the medical field and Holyoke high school has a academy that specifies in the medical area.
q: do you get to choose what to do, or is that only determined by the level or ability of your education

My name is Elijah Tirado and I am 17 years of age. I was born here in Massachusetts, but I can't exactly remember if I was born in either Springfield or Holyoke. During my free time, I enjoy drawing, although I really hate coloring those pictures because it would make the picture look bad, I've only drawn very few pictures where the coloring made it look better. I also very much enjoy playing video games, Xbox is better than PS4, nobody will ever convince me otherwise, and batteries is their only argument until they realize that we have charger cables too. I personally prefer competitive games, they usually happen to be bloody/gory games so I'm not entirely sure if I can name them but I'll do it anyway. My favorite game of all time is Mortal Kombat. I also participate in the sport of American Football here in Holyoke High school, Mr. Frye has informed us that you may not know what that is so let me explain. It is a contact sport with protective yet at the same time, not so protective gear because you can still easily get a concussion or even be badly injured but other than that it is a fun sport. It consists of 22 players on a 100 yard field trying to carry and hold on to a ball all the way across the field in order to score on the opposing team. For American Football, I'm in the position of a lineman, which means the most contact and higher chance of concussion, but it's okay because I have yet to get one. About Holyoke, its not the best place, but I still call it home because here all my life, people may say that it is the most dangerous city in Massachusetts, well it's true, but it's still home, my mother says it's filled with pot holes but I'm okay with it. As for my future goals, I honestly really hope to become a firefighter for the Holyoke Fire Department, my aunt notified me of a college I should go to beforehand, I don't remember what it is called at this moment but I think it was STCC, I really hope to start a family in the future as well. If none of that happens then I'll see where life takes me. Enough about me, what about you, what kind of sports do you guys play? If you don't have sports at your school, where do you go so you can participate in them? How does it work over there?
