Intro Blog

Hello Everyone! I was born in the United States in 2007, I spent my first two years surrounded by the vibrant culture and landscape of my birthplace. However, my parents, with their roots firmly in Argentina, decided to return to their homeland when I was just two years old. Those six years in Argentina shaped much of my childhood, filled with memories in a new land. Unfortunately, Argentina's economic hardships forced us to make another difficult transition back to the United States. Entering fourth grade with no English knowledge presented a daunting challenge. Starting anew was tough, but with perseverance and dedication, I gradually overcame the language barrier, built strong friendships, and thrived academically in middle school. The transition to Fort Lauderdale High School proved even more rewarding. Surrounded by familiar faces from middle school, I seamlessly integrated into the school community. The support and camaraderie of my friends have enriched my high school experience, making it truly life-changing. Beyond academics, I've always been passionate about athletics. Tennis was my first love, ignited at the age of six under the expert guidance of my father. While a recent spinal fracture sidelined me from this year's tennis team, my competitive spirit remains undimmed. Volleyball also sparked my interest for a while, and I enjoyed playing with the Florida Suns before the team disbanded. While Eminem might not be everyone's cup of tea, his music resonates deeply with me. His meaningful lyrics and powerful delivery continue to inspire me. Alongside athletics, fishing is another passion I hold dear, though finding the time to indulge in it lately has proven difficult. These experiences, though diverse, have woven together to create the tapestry of who I am today. It's a story of adaptation, growth, and the enduring power of friendship and passion.

ALL ABOUT ME!

Image
I was born in the United States of America, but when I was two years of age my family and I moved to Argentina in 2009. Of course, my parents grew up there and after we moved there, we stayed for approximately 6 years. The reason we had to move out is because since 2016 Argentina has been having an economic crisis. After we got back to the US, I had to start school in 4th grade with no knowledge of English whatsoever. I had a very rough time in elementary as my grades were awful and it was hard to make friends due to the language barrier. However, in Middle school I finally managed to get straight A's and B's, make plenty of friends, have good test scores, and overall have a good school experience.   Almost all of the friends I made in middle school (Sunrise Middle), came to Fort Lauderdale high school, which has made my overall experience here good. Almost every class that I go to I have a friend I can talk to, a companion I can share experiences with, and most important a fri...
