ABOUT ME
I'm first generation here in the U.S.(my family is from Spain and Cuba). I grew up in Miami,FL and was one of thirteen children. Many odd jobs. I was emancipated when I was 13, I've lived alone since. I attend Johns Hopkins University now, work as a lifeguard and live in Baltimore, MD during the school year and in Miami, Fl during the summer.
PHILOSOPHY
"Fortune favors the bold."
- Virgil, Aeneid X.284
"All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once you grow up."
- Pablo Picasso
"Change. It’s a wonderful thing. Look, you know how subatomic particles don’t obey physical laws? They act according to chance, chaos, coincidence. They run into each other in the middle of the universe somewhere and bang! Energy! We’re the same as that. That’s the great thing about the universe: unpredictable. That’s why it’s so much fun”
– Tony
"The best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing."
-Teddy Roosevelt
"Sometimes it can be liberating to be lost"

Interests
I am huge live performance fanatic whether it be a play, musical, concert, poetry, pantomime, what-have-you, I love it all. I am a huge sports fan, specifically baseball, and I also play softball for a club team here in Baltimore. While in Miami I love surfing and skimming. I am definitely an inline skater over a skateboarder; sorry :/ I enjoy nice hikes and just being outdoors in general. Nine out of ten times I would rather be outside. Laughing for no apparent reason (not in a creepy way).
Also. Coffee. It's seriously a problem.
And.... everything else. I'm pretty open to trying new things.
