The people in my artwork are my family, my friend Zayah, and my kindergarten teachers. I was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico. I was born hearing to a hearing family. However, after a few years I became deaf as a result of a high fever. My Family did not know what to do with me so they decided to move to America for a better life.

I have a large family with several members. My family is all mixed and hearing. My family speaks Spanish and English. I don’t like the way my background looks but I do like how colorful it is. My goal is to graduate high school and go to college for nursing. I want to be a nurse or doctor that takes care of children.
