I was born on seven minutes after Sylvia. At the age of two, I attended preschool for the first time. I was eventually kicked out for bad behavior. When I turned six, I graduated from the first grade with honors. My father died when I was only seven years old of a massive stroke. It was a hard time for me, yet I survived it. I graduated from St.Sabina Academy along with my sister Sylvia at the age of thirteen. I had a tough time making it through high school because there was so much peer pressure,but in June of 2000 I graduated and went to college in the fall.

I am now a sucessful sophmore at Robert Morris and I couldn't be happier. My major is media arts, which deals with animation,web design,and various other fields RESUME. I am doing very well in all of my classes and will be graduating in the winter of 2001 with an Associates degree in Applied Sciences. I plan to continue my education in acting school. I plan on taking classes in the summer of 2001. I also plan on moving to New York to become more sucessful. I truly believe that New York has more opportunities for me and the career that I have chosen. I plan never to stop educating myself, infact I have always dreamed of being a psychiatrist. That has been my lifelong dream and I plan on fulfilling it.

While the idea of moving to New York is good, I will never forget Chicago. This is my hometown and where I come from. However, I don't think that I will ever return here. I love this city but I have grown apart from it. I truly believe in moving forward instead of taking a step back. Of course, I will be back to visit my family but life goes on. I feel very lucky to have come this far in my life where I can say that I an going to make it in spite of what I have been through and what people had to say about me. I think that there are alot of inspirers in the world but none can compare to my family. I never would have have made it this far without all of you. I love you and I want you to know that I am going to succeed and be somebody. You all have encouraged me to be the best that I can be and know how to be. You never stop beleiving in me even when I stop believing in myself for a while. I just want say thanks and that I appreciate it, and you all are all my HEROS.
