GAMER LIFESTYLE
Growing up and even still now I love plating video games, my favorite game to play was The Biggs; a Baseball game for Playstation 3. The game graphics were amazing and my grandparents love baseball.

BIGGEST MOTIVATION
I love this view up here man, I can just relax and collect my thoughts.
My aunt is like my 2nd mom. she makes sure that she pushes me to reach my max potential. She's the reason I'm sitting in college classes. She pushed me to be here, it took me a long time to commit but I finally did it. She is one of my biggest motivations and and supporters, she lets me stand on my own two feet because I am a young adult and I have to try but she never lets me fall.

A time that I was excited is when my sister announced her pregnancy with my nephew, and she couldn't have announced it at a better time.

GUARDIAN ANGELS
My angles in heaven; my grandmother and my great-aunt are the reasons why I keep pushing forward every time I want to give up. I lost my grandmother at 7 years old and starting losing my great-aunt my senior year. It broke me not to have them at my High School graduation, especially since I was the first in the family to do so. I started losing myself just doing nothing that I set my mind to do just letting life pass me by until I started to focus up. Now I have a car, working in the field that I am interested in and still striving.
