I have a Spanish accent and I like when people notice that I am foreign.  When people call me Mexican, I feel complimented and smile, if others get offended, shame on them! My first semester in college, I couldn’t speak any English. Was that hard? Yes, I lost my scholarship and camped at the library almost everyday. Impossible? No! I’d do it again! I secretly enjoy the feeling of pressure, uncertainty and accomplishment. That spices up my life!

I’m naturally lucky; I’m the kind of person who always wins the raffles and who finds her lost wallet in the subway in NYC. I have scars all over my knees but I will never stop dancing, running to catch the bus and wearing high heels. I don’t like to shop online, that takes all the fun out of it!

Airports know a lot about me; they know it doesn’t matter how many times I go to Mexico, I cry every time I come back. I’ve slept in them, missed flights, heard the weirdest stories and made the best friends. I appreciate art because I paint, I play the violin and I do advertising.
