Introduction-Brenda Cortes

-Self care is a very important aspect of my life.Taking care of your internal needs as well the physical ones are both just as important.Realistically speaking,when I am externally taken care of,something as simple as taking a shower can make you feel more at ease.It is important to prioritize your mental health because it is the root of your being.In order to be the best version of yourself your mind and soul have to be at peace.

-I was raised by my two parents.Not everyone has the luxury of growing up in a household with both a father and a mother figure.Throughout the years, that has only taught me that love is the key factor in any kind of relationship.My parents have always kept a balance between each other and always respected one another.Growing up in a loving home has made me realize that although there might be hardships from time to time, with love there is always a solution.This has shaped me to be a very understanding person, who sees the world from every perspective in order to acknowledge the different viewpoints with kindness.

-I come from a mexican background.I grew up surrounded by hard working men and women.This has influenced me to develop perseverance within my character and just strive to do best at what I do. This has also made me very grateful for the life my parents have worked hard to give me.This motivates me to succeed in all my task in order to make them proud and give them what they deserve.

-I am also very down to earth. I am a very open minded person who is always open to stepping out my comfort zone and trying something new. I feel like everyday there is something new to learn and we should live every day with no regrets.At the end of the day we only have one life.With that being said,I am a very adventurous person.I like to feel the adrenaline in my vains and the excitement when I try new things.

-Music is also a very important aspect of my life.It has helped me overcome very difficult times in my life.I would even say that this has been a form of therapy for me.Listening to music helped me cope with what I go through by helping me reflect on certain events.Music is the bestfriend I never had.
