Giovanni Arocho

If you don't learn to write your own story, someone else will write it for you

My name is Giovanni, I am a student at Illinois College, which is in Jacksonville, Illinois. I was born with a birth defect that has made me deaf from my left ear, I'm 19 years old, Puerto Rican and I love poetry, art, and music! The surgeries I had when I was younger left me missing some ribs on the right side of my body. I got bullied for many things throughout my life, but I have been able to live my life everyday! I want to spread my love of life through music, I want to be an inspiration to those who were bullied and those with disabilities! Singing, poetry, drawing, and music have been my passion since forever and they will always be a part of my life!
