I was born on May 23, 2009 in Yopal which is a city in Colombia.

I was diagnosed with Adrenal Cortical Carcinoma when I was only 2 years old.

Since there were no good treatments in Colombia to treat my rare cancer, my dad emailed tons of different doctors around the world to see who had a treatment and only one St. Judes doctor in Tennessee agreed to help.

Once we arrived to St. Judes my parents had a choice between me getting chemotherapy or a surgery. Since I was young my parents decided on the surgery. Sadly, the surgery wasn't successful in getting fully rid of the tumor, but sometime after when I got checked up again, the doctors saw that my tumor had disappeared on its own.

Starting My "American School" Experience

As you can probably imagine, school is extremely different in South American than it is in the US. Which is why starting school here is a very huge event in my lifetime.

Starting 7th grade was a huge change for everyone I think. There were more responsibilities, but also more freedoms. 7th and 8th grade will forever be the best years of my life.

Tomball Star Academy is a great opportunity that I was able to get chosen for, and it is the start of a new chapter in my life that will surely lead to success.
