I am a junior that attends Francisco Bravo Medical Magnet Senior High School. I was born to two lovely parents who are Mexican and Afro-Guatemalan making me a mixed individual. I am often described as optimistic, outgoing, and creative, but the best word to describe me is driven. I am self-motivating and a big dreamer. My favorite hobbies are drawing, singing, and running. I enjoy helping people with anything from being a shoulder to cry on, to administering aid to other athletes, to simply doing extra chores for people. My parents have always kept me active from a young age. I was in ballet from the ages of three to six, gymnastics and dance ages ten to twelve, and swimming, soccer, and basketball from twelve to fifteen. My dad often took me outside to play baseball for hours on end. When I came to Bravo as a freshman, I joined the track team second semester, and instantly fell in love with the sport. I joined the cross country team as a sophomore, which is when I discovered this new passion for appreciating the body. I found myself helping my teammates after they injured themselves and often gave them ways to help heal. I learned how to pace myself and how to keep a positive mindset during a race. This is how my interest in Sports Medicine( Physical or Occupational Therapy) came into play. From there, I discovered that I wanted to help people find ways to maintain a productive mindset/healthy lifestyle by exploring different methods to achieve a goal and help them learn along the way in addition to understand the importance of thanking our bodies for the hard work they do for us.
