I chose a cactus because in my eyes it symbolizes the different aspects of life. The cactus represents me. I am a transfer Junior from BMCC. Each arm grows out a different size, length, and direction to vision the various journeys, accomplishments, and opportunities. I am the cactus that was bought to the U.S so that my arms can reach. I am a very self driven, risk taken, easy approachable individual. Though Mexican may not always be the first impression when you see me, the cactus has much meaning to my culture and who I am. My spikes may protect me at times but I enjoy growing each day with the sunlight. I have a thing for trying new things such as food and outdoor activities so that life isn’t boring. But besides being the cactus I also like the green life that comes with it such as putting on plant music, change, and being at peace.
