I have 10 offers. I was born in Cumana, Venezuela. And moved to Cleveland, Ohio when I was 1 moth and a half. I ended up living there for 6 years. I would visit frequently Venezuela to visit my family and I still do. My dad was a professional baseball player for 12 years and played for the Colorado Rockies and Cleveland. I moved to Orlando, Florida at that age of 7 and attend the school of Windermere prep.  I play the safety position and led my team as a freshmen in interceptions and a sophomore . My goal is always to get better and learn. I also play baseball and am a starter in center field, I also can play some infield. I bat left handed and throw right handed. I would love to play one of these sports in college and am very devoted into being a college athlete. I also want to be a great student and succeed high in my academics. I will always give it my all, and I love working out and putting the extra effort into things. I feel I am different from other people because of my background and how I would see how hard my dad worked for everything we have,  which really motivates me to do the same. He's taught me everything I know and that is to always work hard and provide for my family. My mom to, she is one of the strongest woman I know and took care of me and my sister while my dad was working. I will never give up in things because that's not in my genetics.
