People see me everyday and compare me to a alien, a monster, so many words to describe a person, but not everybody really nows how life's has been for me. Every challenge has been a roller coaster. Life is a incredible ride. Well if I want you to understand let's start from the beginning.

My mother was a young adult when she had me and my father was a man of old age. You might say a gold digger, but no. She lived in South America and he was a marine. They meet in her country, fell in love by letters and got married. They establish in the island of Puerto Rico where he was from. 6 years later they had me. My mothers pregnancy was full of almost miscarriages. In a spring morning I drink amniotic fluid during childbirth. That's the main reason I got cerebral palsy, but in that moment it seem fine everything.

I was in the ER for a month before going home to my parents and grandmother. That year it was filled with challenges. When I was 1 year old my father past away. My mother was alone with my grandmother and me in the island. Five months later they discover my disability. And it begin a whole different life.
