As I watched my plane begin to land at the airport of Boston‚ I felt the extraordinary experiences that are about to come.

Across the Caribbean Sea I grew up on a beautiful tropical island‚ but I have always wondered what would it be like to live in the United States of America. They say that everything is possible in America. Like everyone else‚ I wanted more opportunities and expand my horizon.

anything you want to know about me the very first thing I would talk to you about is racing. It is my most favorite thing out of everything I am currently doing with my life. There is absolutely nothing I am more passionate about than this great sport. So much so that my excitement for it sometimes can actually greatly annoy my family whenever we are not racing or when a NASCAR race is not being broadcasted to TV. Unsurprisingly‚ I have been deeply interested in racing for just about my entire life. At
