Scholarship / "No-No Boy"; I've always felt comfortable with my culture and happy to be apart of a Peruvian family [4]
Thankfully, I never felt like Ichiro from "No-No Boy". I have always felt comfortable with my culture and am happy to be apart of a Peruvian family. Being in a huge family can be tough at times, but that only makes you strive to be noticed and to do your very best at everything you do.
In this developed multicultural world we live in, its a blessing to be able to speak 2 languages. I am grateful that I can speak/write Spanish and English fluently. My parents, dad specifically, has taught me to never give up. His hardworking charisma has gotten him far to succeed in his business, and in all aspects of his life. My mother has given me the qualities to be loving and to treat all people with the respect and kindness they deserve, regardless of their race or of their social standings.
I am lucky enough to have parents that took me all around the world. I have traveled to Africa, South America, Europe, Caribbean Islands, and Canada. I have seen the daily struggles certain people have to face, yet are happier than people who have everything they need. This shaped me to be a contented human being with a triggering passion to help others.
Growing up in a Catholic family i went to church every Sunday and a salesian high school for four years. This strict education taught me to be well dressed, educated in the world, and most importantly, grateful.
I am willing to put in 110% at UNF and to show you my abilities if you give me the chance.
