I am the only daughter of immigrant parents. My mother is from Colombia, and she came to Miami in 1999. My father is from Cuba and came here in 1995. I was born in Jackson Hospital at 4:05 a.m., weighing at almost 10 pounds!

My parents had a Maltese dog named Mysti, and when I was welcomed to this world, Mysti was so happy to see me! She was a small but energetic, loving little cloud! Unfortunately, when I was four years old, she passed away due to being ill. RIP Mysti.

During the summer of 2012, I went to Colombia with my mother for the first time ever! We stayed for 35 days, and I was able to meet my mom's entire family! Most of my family lives in Los Llanos Orientales, which is a savannah full of blissful rivers and diverse flora and fauna. However, we stayed in Bogota most of the time, where some of my family is also located. Bogota is a high altitude city, hence why it is so cold.

I went to New York to visit and meet some of my father's family in 2012 during winter break. I saw and felt snow for the first time, and spent New Year's over there, having a good time with my family in my aunt's house, not in Times Square unfortunately.

In April 2013, I went to my first theme park, Universal Orlando Resort! I went with my mom and another family, and we all had a wonderful time! This was when I discovered my fear of roller coasters and big drops, and to this day, I'm still terrified of them.

In 2019, I started attending Miami Senior High, and enrolled in the Law Magnet. Freshmen year brought me lots of enlightenment, meeting tons of new people and learning more about myself. I started seeing life in a new perspective. I'm glad to call Stingtown my home.

I am currently a sophmore, still attending Miami Senior High as a proud sting. I'm very excited for what the future has in store for me, and hopefully this COVID-19 pandemic is over too!
