I’m from Ecuador in South America. I am proud of where I come from and this is probably one of the most important things to know about me.

Being that I’m Hispanic, it sort of implies that my favorite sport is soccer. It is one of my biggest passions of my life. When Ecuador was knocked out of the World Cup this summer, I was devastated.

This is Pier 40. You can usually find me here at least once a week playing soccer with my friends. Playing soccer is my biggest way to get my mind off of things.

I live in Astoria, Queens. This is a typical picture from “The Strip” in Astoria Park. I’ve lived here my whole life and I like it a lot actually.

Monsignor McClancy is my old high school. I had a blast and I believe I wouldn’t be the person I am today if I didn’t go there. Luckily it was not far from where I live so that helped my liking high school as well.

This is a picture of the old airport in Quito, Ecuador. I like to travel a lot and I loved going back to Ecuador every summer. I loved being there since it was definitely something different from New York City.

This is a picture of one of the biggest stadium in Ecuador. I would always go there during the summer to see my favorite team play or the Ecuadorian National Team play. Going to see soccer games live is one of my favorite past times.

Galak is my favorite chocolate ever. It was always something that my grandmother or relatives would send me from Ecuador. It reminds me of the good times I’ve had while being there.
