. I was born in the Dominican Republic and lived there for 8 years of my life. While I lived there, my mom took care of me and my two older sisters by herself because my dad lived here. At the time i didn’t realize it but as I grew up I gained more respect for my mom for doing a great job raising me and my sisters.
. When I moved to New York I finally got to live with my dad, but it was a very hard time for me. I left behind my friends, I didn’t know english, I wasn’t used to cold weather, and overall didn’t meet my expectations. I wanted to go back but eventually I adapted and now I can’t see myself living there.
. When I was a younger I used to play a lot of video games. Even though I don’t play them as much anymore I still consider them a part of me. I have countless of amazing memories playing video games. Not just playing, but interacting and socializing with my friends. It is always a good time.
. Music is also a big part of me. No matter what mood I am in, there’s something I can always listen to. It helps me express myself, relax, and put me in a better mood. Im always listening to music no matter what I’m doing.
. I consider myself to be a very adventurous person. I am very open minded when trying new things and I am always trying to do something. I like exploring new areas I’ve never been in too.
I can definitely relate to you when you say video games is a huge part of you. All my life video games has been a great way to bond with friends and also be competitive which is very fun. Video games allowed me to let loose and enjoy what’s in the moment.
Jesus, Thanks for telling us a little bit about yourself. I am especially moved by your description of your arrival in New York. I can’t imagine what it must have been like arriving here as an 8 year old. That is a lot for a young boy to adjust to!
I also relate with video games being a big part of who you are. I used to play minecraft like everyday with a group of internet friends who I still talk to and those memories were amazing.
