Like many children of immigrants from Mexico, I grew up in poverty. But, although we often went without, we never lacked food, or love and my economic status has never held me back. I learned that I needed to work hard and have as many experiences as I could to help me realize my full potential. But it is my experiences with music that have impacted me the most.
I began singing when I was very young, beginning with solos at my church at age six. I have sung with my church choir for two years. I have an extensive knowledge of music from different eras and genres and cultures and I truly believe the cliche that music is a bridge between cultures. I like to relate to people and I feel if you get to know their music, you get to know them. And, because I have been exposed to and love a widely diverse range of music, I have been able to communicate with people I otherwise may not understand. In Portugal, for example, I was able to sing with people in Portuguese because I knew the popular song they were singing.
Finally, when I sing, I feel that I am doing something good because I can move people with my voice. They derive pleasure from something that I can do and I feel I can send a message with my music, communicating hope, joy, anguish or longing, thereby connecting with those around me through a universal language.

TWO WORDS.

EL CLASICO!
This might be the most exciting and anticipated Clasico in the history of the clubs' intense rivalry! Both teams have been sensational and have been led to the forefront by both Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Messi is a humble down to earth guy, but Ronaldo is quite the opposite, which is why i hate the cheeky bastard so much! Not to mention my growing animosity towards Mourinho!!! He is such a dick and shit talker, he needs to be put in place by the Blaugrana this coming Monday, 29th of November. I haven't looked forward to a game this much and the wait is killing me!!! I don't want to get too confident in Barca because like I mentioned earlier, Real Madrid are in top form. In fact I'm not afraid to say that I'm sort of nervous for the result. Madrid have turned their game around and have been playing relentlessly and quite mercilessly; averaging 4 goals per game is quite a feat. Well i mean between you and me they haven't been playing the best of teams so then i reckon its not a big deal. Its like they play my high school varsity team, big deal if you score ten goals. Ozil have been playing unbelievably well. It is amazing how quickly and smoothly he transitioned into the Spanish form of play coming from Germany this last transfer window. It just goes to show the genius of Jose Mourinho who obviously was paying attention during the World Cup. Hate him or like him, the Portuguese knows his football. So here I am anxiously awaiting this game, hoping for the best result at the Camp Nou. The last thing I want is that cocky Mourinho having a reason to be smiling and giving arrogant press conferences the following day. I would love to see a Blaugrana 2-0 victory. However it is going to be a hard, nail-biting game I can feel it already. Both teams are going to play to the death. Tenim un nom el sap tothom, Barca, Barca, Barca!
