[edit] My Motto

I'm a people person. I let off positive vibes. When at school I'm serious about my work and don't let anything get in my way. And when it comes to friends I'm very trustworthy.

[edit] I'd Like to Meet

The people I like being around have to be funny. If they're too serious I won't feel comfortable around them. You have to be outgoing so it'll be easier for the person and I to talk. They have to have control over themselves and not always joke around, they have to be serious when the time is right. The number one quality I look for in people is if they're trustworthy. I have to be able to trust the person I'm talking to because I might tell them personal things about me and I wouldn't want the whole world to know.

[edit] Who am I? Where am I from?

I was born and raised in the LES on 10th Street. I am currently living in Spanish Harlem on 105th Street. I am my mother's daughter, my cousin's friend. I am an older sister to a baby I haven't seen in 6 months. I am a writer and an artist with pencil and paper. And the one thing I'm most pround of being is 100% Puerto Rican.
