Each and everyone have their own strengths and weaknesses and each one of us deals with the situations as we can. In my case there have been many things in my path but I tend to just push them aside and keep walking with my head held high.

Adversity has played a part in my life as well. It has taught me I can overcome hurdles and it has made me the woman I am today. As a child, I suffered from debilitating migraine headaches.

My parents were born and raised in Mexico. Being from the type of family both my parents had, education was not an option and no importance was taken toward it.

When I was four years old and my sister was nine, my parents made the decision to send us to Brownsville, TX for a proper American education.…

Life has been rough, but I’m a very determined person. It all started when I turned fourteen years old.
