I first saw Queens from the sky. " From the sky?" you might ask. Yes, the sky, because from the airplane window, I saw a bunch of lights in different orders. There were so many I thought" Is this really one city?" I came from a small town in Colombia called Sevilla. I visited other big cities before but New York was different. I was so surprised to hear people speaking Spanish when my family took me to a Colombian Restaurant.

Since I was a child, I was always interested in the arts. I try to get involved in arts as much as I can.

Living in Queens changed my perspective of the world. I was amazed how the architecture, the people, the smells ans everything is different, but it all comes together somehow.

My best advisor is my mother who always tries to help me to reach my goals and embrace my dreams.
