About Me

Talking about me is usually very hard for me to do. It doesn’t matter if it’s saying good or bad things. It’s just not easy, I assume it’s because I show a part of myself. However, if I need to than I will begin by telling you that I am about to turn twenty-three. I am very happy, because I look back and I can say how much I have enjoyed every day of my life. My nearest goal is to complete my bachelor’s degree, and then I want to go to the medicine school. The bachelor’s degree I am currently studying is in integrative biology. I choose biology because it was my favorite class of during high school. I see life like a gift and for that reason the present is called present, because it shows us the opportunity to make or change our lives every day. That’s why I also want to study medicine because I want to make a difference in the world and encourage the people I treat to see their lives as a great opportunity to treasure.

List of Trips:

1) Philadelphia*                6) Mayagüez
2) Culebra                           7) Ponce
3) Vieques                           8) Lajas
4) Maricao                           9) San Germán
5) Cabo Rojo                      10) Rincón

The first place I chose to share with you today is: Philadelphia*. I went on this trip when I was in eleventh grade because I was part of a program called Talent Search. Talent Search was a program for distinguished students in high school that were able to demonstrate a large interest in their academic futures by maintaining high G.P.A’s. The program chose two students from within the group to make this trip to Philadelphia to be part of a presentation. I was one of the lucky two! Now, when we got to Philadelphia, believe it or not, the presentation got cancelled. So, we spent the trip just visiting museums, sight-seeing and eating at restaurants. The best thing about the trip was spending the 4th of July at a huge activity in the streets of the city. It was a great experience and I’ll never forget it, since it was the only time I left Puerto Rico.
