I’m in my 4th year at Instituto Politécnico Nacional (National Polytechnic Institute). I´m studying social work
This is my first year on staff at Falling Creek

If I could be friends with any character from a book or movie, I would like to be friends with the Robot from the movie Robot Dreams.
What did I want to grow up to be when I was younger? As a child I wanted to be a marine biologist, since I really like animals and the sea seems like a mysterious and amazing place to me. I am currently a social worker and it is very different from what I wanted as a child but it makes me just as happy.
What food would I be happy eating every day? Mexican food is delicious, so I could always eat tacos. Good tacos with salsa and lemon always make me happy.
A fictional place I would like to visit is Paradise Falls from the movie UP.
What would a successful summer look like for me? A successful summer would be one in which I have been able to improve my English, create sincere friendships, have a lot of fun, achieve my work goal and improve my cooking skills.
