My name is Felix Santana and I am eighteen years old. I am currently a senior at East Side Community High School. I am interested in becoming a computer engineer. At my school, we communicate through a diverse community. This has taught me to be around many people and by this advantage; I have shown leadership throughout my school. At my school I am known for being the right hand calendar man, who always is on top of everyone due dates. I try to motivate others to become closer to college events and to change the world. Many of us come from low-income families, and I try to thrive them to being a successful person. I find myself a good person because I motivate others to make a good character. I find this a good characteristic in me so when I enter college I could express my ideas with other identities.
I was born on the Lower East Side in Manhattan NY. Today, it is a wonderful place to live but the previous 17 years it was not. My community was always surrounded with red, blue and white lights. Police officers would stand patrolling making sure to keep everyone safe but that did not work a lot.
Our community would do everything together for example: everyone would stand on the same corner, play in the same park, go to the same local elementary school and even high school. We were all considered to be "one". By being "one", it made it very difficult for me to explore. I had no opportunities to see what we could not see. By being "one", got me into the wrong problems because I was so indoctrinated to believe that where I was living the perfect place until I realized it wasn't.
