I AM...


I am the definition of a high school dropout

I am the kid on the streets hustiling trying to find a way out

I am the bum on the street wanting a place to sleep

I am the person who steps up and stops being a sheep

I am the rebel against society not followingn a order

I am the millions of people who cross the border

I am looking for a better life

I am the drunk addict who lost his kids and wife

I am changing the past starting today

I am going to live my life my own way

I'm an outgoing person, and very funny. I guarantee that I can make you laugh, I always like to have a positive outlook on life. I like helping other, giving them a hand, because I believe that life is not about what you get but about what sacrifices you can do for others. I am very respectful towards others, it doesn't matter if they're a different ethnicity, believe in something that I don't, are superior, are younger, what ever the situation is I will respect you. I don't like to think that I'm better than others and most of all I do not like to show off. I stay humble and work hard to be successful. I'm one of those people who will by your side good or bad, someone you can trust, and someone that you'll remember by how I made you feel.
