 Who I am…
Born: March 13, 1983
“I don’t really like Christmas or any other holidays. This year, a couple of days before Christmas a friend of mine got shot, and then a day before New Year’s he died. “I think that a lot of people have gone through a lot of problems, but I think that some people don’t get over it and keep going through the same path. I think that I am a better person, but I used to be not such a good person. I wasn’t very friendly and I would never get involved in stuff like this project. I had a lot of friends but they were the followers. I was the one in front. I was the one that said what was going to be done and who you were going to talk to and who you weren’t going to talk to and that was that. I was the leader. I think that I still am but I don’t tell people that you can’t talk to that person. But if they’re in trouble I will be there for them. Back then and now, that hasn’t changed. Now I try to correct what I went wrong on which was a lot. That’s what made me a good leader—I protected those I needed to protect.” photo above right copyright 2002 by Barry Kleider, www.barryphotography.com My favorite place…
Favorite Place: Yesterday’s Auto Sales “Yesterday’s takes me back to a time I wish I would have been a part of. Like a dream, a feeling inside that wishes to remember how it was to be there. “I don’t know how to explain this feeling of peace everytime I’m close to one of these cars..” |

“I was three when we got here in the US. I remember only by dreams. I remember seeing my mom—when we first got here—on the stairs. Recognizing her, running up to her and hugging her. I think that I was about a year old when my mom came here. She left us in Mexico with my grandma—my dad’s mother. She left us—it was just me, Lorenzo and my other two brothers. We were separated until I was about three, when she sent for us.
