Monologe by Brandon Jimenez

Hello, my name is Brandon Jimenez. I was born in Costa Rica on April 19^th, 1993. I moved to Long Island at age 15. It was my father’s dream to take us to the US back when he married my mom, but he did not live to see it come true. At age 8, my grandparent asked for my mom and her sisters to come to the US, but it did not happen until 7 years later. It was very hard at the beginning because my stepdad had trouble finding a good job; my family was struggling. After a confrontation with my stepdad I moved out and later moved in with my aunt and uncle. I love living with them, and after a couple of months my older sister moved in with us too. I have a 15 year old sister, 11 year old brother, and a 5 year old sister. I loved Southampton High School, it was great. At the beginning it was hard to get used to, but after my second year I started having lots of fun. I decided to come to Baruch because it is highly rank in business and business is my interest. It is cheap, and since I pay for my own tuition it is a plus. I did pretty well in school, so my scholarships really help me pay for it. I take a lot of care about my health and condition. I workout 6 hours a week or more, I play soccer on Fridays, volleyball in the summer, I ride bikes, run, eat very healthy stuff, and just take a lot of care with my physical shape. I love many genres of music, but house music is my absolute favorite. I have a careful eye for clothes and shoes. I love quality materials, and details in everything; I am a perfectionist. I am a speed fanatic, I love cars, bikes, and any type of engine powered vehicle. I like my jobs; I am a Barista at a coffee shop, and sometimes a manager at a gallery owned by my uncle. I want to be a business owner; I am not sure what kind of business. A coffee shop is something that I would like to own.
