I was born in Atlanta, GA in the United States in 2005.

In 2008, my mom's mom died from cancer and in ~2013 my dad's dad died from an unknown cause. It changed my path because I began to understand the concept of death way earlier than most people should have to.

My parents were finacially fortunate enough to travel to many places such as France, Mexico, Canada, etc. This shaped my cultural identity, because I realised how much of a bubble that I was living in and realised how different people can be from us.

In Elementary school, I lead a robotics team in tournaments and we made it far. This shaped my leadership identity because I had to work to get what I recieved, and I learned that if I take the lead I can use my orginzation skills to greatly benefit the group and also make it easier for others to express themselves too.

My river used to be very unchanged, but as I got older many things changed. Family wise, tension grew between me and my dad which is still present. I was in a bad friend group and did things that I regret, but have now found some awesome and supportive friends. Finally, with relationships eventhough I know its bad for me I constantly put my self through so much stress because of my own selfish reasons, it is something that I need to work on.

I think that there are occasional rapids in my river. Most of the time it is smooth, but I will run into some rapids where they can be pretty rough, for example, when I have different opinions than my parents, or I have a fight with a friend.

I think that the people that have shaped me the most are two of my friends, Raquel and Gabi. They have shown me that I do not have to force myself to be someone else just to please others and that I can be who I want to be.

Although it is not fun, I will definetly have obstacles in the future, but I think that I will be able to smooth out the river with the help of the people around me.
