Hola Amigas Y Amigos… Welcome to my biography room. I live in beautiful Studio City, California with my dad (he’s a fireman) and my eight year old little sister Rosie, and my aunt Rita. I’m thirteen, my birthday is January 14th, that means my sign is Aquarius. I have brown hair, brown eyes, I’ m 5’ 4 inches tall and I’m in the eighth grade. I go to school here in the San Fernando Valley with my three very best friends Kim, Tiffany and Sarah. My fav color is Yellow.

When anyone asks, what my fav food is? I have to tell them it’s Mexican food. And girlfriend I love to eat. I have a lot of cousins, and they love to eat too. When we all get together for the holidays, look out. Because we really know how to enjoy all the traditional Mexican dishes. I love to help my aunts whenever they cook. They’ve shown me many great family recipes handed down to them from their aunties. We want to keep the family tradition going. What’s your fav family recipe? Send me your fav recipes by e-mail to my mail box, and I’ll try it…

When is comes to sports, I’m very athletic. I like to play as many sports as I can. My most fav is American Kenpo Karate. I’m the youngest girl in my karate school to ever receive a black belt. My karate teacher is Sensei Sascha Williams, he has given me a lot of support and encouragement when I felt I wasn’t going to make it. I been studying with him for about three years now, and I really love it. It has given me so much self-confidence. I mean look at me now, I’m competing in the State Junior Championship finals, in both sparring and Katas with weapons and open hands. Wow… It has helped me grow and become a strong person inside. I sometimes use different weapons with my forms when I compete, the Bo-Staff is my specialty. It’s beautiful to perform with and so much fun. I’ve always been really shy, it’s help me to over come a lot of my shyness, it’s makes me nervous at first, I always get butterflies before I get out there, but it’s sure exciting to go out in front of all those people and perform.

My other fav sports are basketball, and I’m very strong in track and field events. I made the girls basketball team at school, this is my first year. I picked it up right away. Now I hold the school record for the most baskets in one game. Oh yes… I’m the shortest girl on the team. That’s way cool.

There is so much I want to be and do when I grow up. I’m hooked on the Internet, it’s growing faster then I am. I am working on a business plan to build a girls Internet company. It’s a completely new concept, top secret. I definitely want to go professional and be on the women’s basketball team. I also want to be an actress and a doctor, but I could change my mind at anytime, so stay tuned. Some of my favorite things to do are, writing poems, surfing the net, cooking, pajama parties, hiking, listening to music and hunting for old clothes in thrift shops. Reading all the mail I get in my mail box. I love to make new friends.
