About

I'm a graduating senior from Colegio Decroly Americano. I was born and raised in Guatemala City, Guatemala, in a family of four. My parents own a corporate events company and my older sister just graduated as an industrial engineer. I grew up in a place where poverty was everywhere, which motivates me to always work hard and make my opportunities count. My mission in life is to make the people around me proud and to succeed in the name of those who lack opportunities. I've always had big plans for my future and I'm hoping to continue my studies in the United States. There I want to major in politics and then go to law school.
