Mera Vaquero Sánchez
- My name is Merari Jocelin Vaquero Sánchez
- I’m known as Mera
- I’m from Puebla, México.
- I’m currently a student at Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla. I am in my eighth semester of nine in marketing and digital media.
- This is my first year on staff at Falling Creek
- I’m a member of the culinary team
- My favorite magical or mythical animal is a dragon
- What’s something I’ve completed on my “bucket list?” One of the things I wanted the most was to learn how to swim. Since I was a child, I was afraid of the water, so it seemed impossible. Three years ago, I learned with the help of my friends. My motivation was the fish that lived in the place; when I dove in, I could see them swimming. It was incredible; I think it’s the closest feeling we have to flying.
- What is my favorite sandwich? The apple and banana cajeta sandwich is my favorite; it was a discovery I made in a magical town in Mexico called Zacatlán.
- Something I’m currently trying to make a habit is exercise. My dad was an athlete when he was young; he used to run in competitions and win awards. Some time ago, he watched me run and said I had a good pace, so I decided to start exercising, build up my endurance, and be able to run a race. I know my dad would love that.
- What is the best present I’ve ever received? One time, I was given a bunch of handmade letters just for me. I had no idea that someone had spent months writing them on different days. The time and effort put into them gave those letters an enormous sentimental value.
