My mother Gina Marie Rodriguez was 33, and my father Julio Cesar Martinez-Galvan was 30. I have an older brother Chazz Julio Galvan who was 2 and a half at the time. I was born into a poor family in the countryside, though I was born in Clovis community hospital.

 My mom is half mexican her family is from Zacatecas on her dads side. My great grandparents migrated here from Mexico in the 1920's.

  My father is from Juárez, Chihuahua and migrated from Mexico at the age of 7. He did not have citizenship till 2007 and did not know he was here illegally  until he was 19.

During that time in my life, I was molested once by a boy in my daycare. At the time my mom was a single mother working a 10 hour job. She was at no fault for this as it was on the daycare workers to watch us. During this time my father was very bad on drugs and caused my brother and I serious trauma.]]> 2022-08-18 22:06:43 UTC https://padlet.com/s4359/ii8xk5xcfbzv6tp6/wish/2264868168 s4359 https://padlet.com/s4359/ii8xk5xcfbzv6tp6/wish/2264870967 It was around 2013? my mother stopped allowing my dad to see us unless he went to rehab. I did not see him again until 2021. Him and my mom separated when I was 1. 

My dads mom (abuela) was still allowed to see us but she let my brother see him behind my moms back. I did not see her again until 2020.]]> 2022-08-18 22:12:13 UTC https://padlet.com/s4359/ii8xk5xcfbzv6tp6/wish/2264870967 s4359 https://padlet.com/s4359/ii8xk5xcfbzv6tp6/wish/2264872485 I was in my last years of elementary and was going through a serious depression because my grandma (moms) died 2 years earlier and my uncle who was 26? died of cancer. ]]> 2022-08-18 22:15:05 UTC https://padlet.com/s4359/ii8xk5xcfbzv6tp6/wish/2264872485 s4359 https://padlet.com/s4359/ii8xk5xcfbzv6tp6/wish/2264875463 I was going to Baird Middle School as I got in through lottery. During these three years at Baird I was bullied constantly and developed Bulimia as well as becoming super suicidal. During this time I was in a verbally abusive household. 

 My stepdad was a verbally abusive drunk homeboy with serious issues. Him and my mom argued every night. My depression was awful. 


I couldn't go home as it was just arguing and abuse. I couldnt go to school because I was bullied and called slurs. I've always known I've been gay. I came out and from there on I was called a faggot, experienced racism.

When I tired to kill myself in 7th grade April 19, 2019 because of the bullying and stuff I went through. I was told it was my fault and that if I just stopped being openly gay and just myself maybe I wouldn't get bullied]]> 2022-08-18 22:20:46 UTC https://padlet.com/s4359/ii8xk5xcfbzv6tp6/wish/2264875463 s4359 https://padlet.com/s4359/ii8xk5xcfbzv6tp6/wish/2264876467 During my last year of middle school my bullies started to get physical and I became suicidal once again. Quarantine started and I began my adventure at Roosevelt. I am in Acting Styles and Folklorico Intermediate.]]> 2022-08-18 22:22:39 UTC https://padlet.com/s4359/ii8xk5xcfbzv6tp6/wish/2264876467
