I chose my son Mateo because he inspires me to do my best daily whether it be in regards to school, work, or life itself. He inspires me to keep pushing myself towards my goals and dreams given I want him to have the life he deserves. I chose him because I feel that he's given me an entirely new perception of life and what's truly important.

Family and caring for your loved ones/other people is a value that has always stuck with me. Having your family close to you is something that cannot be replaced, unlike materialistic objects for instance. Caring for those you love or even strangers is also important because it shows your character. It shows how selfless you are in a rather selfish world. I tend to always keep my family close, and helping my loved ones along with anyone around me has been second nature since I was a child.

Another set of values that are important to me is education and my career. I believe that education can get you anywhere you desire to be in life as long as you work for it. Education has always been important to me because I have huge dreams I'd like to make come true. I also hold value in my career, given I believe doing something you love in the long run will bring about the most joy. I also believe that being career driven helps with overall motivation and discipline in other aspects of life.

I am considered an Afro-Latina and I am proud of my ethnic background. Given some of the career goals I have set for myself, I do face much ridicule but I tend to ignore it. I appreciate where I come from and who I am.
