Ricardo Cortez

I was born in Corsicana Texas where I grew up speaking Spanish and English because of the influence from my family and friends in school. I have always been influenced by family and friends in the best ways possible. At a young age, my family always enforced responsibility, kindness, and determination within my life in order to develop a drive to achieve greater things in life to benefit myself and ultimately my family. These behaviors that my parents molded my life with have ultimately lead me to become a hard working and committed person. I embrace school and work all the same because I know that the hard work and sacrifice will reward me with the achievement of goals and success.
