About Me!
My name is Felipe Ortiz and I am 18 years old. Everyone who knows me very well, or who has ever had a conversation with me knows that I am a very kind and respectful person. During my elementary school years, I was always known to be the student who cared for others, who was polite, respectful and helping towards others. I was always told to respect people, to treat them the way I wanted to be treated. As I grew older, I continued my good habits of caring for those around me. I have always treated everyone with respect. I am also a very responsible, extremely caring, passionate about my goals, and a joyful student who is very involved in his community.
Growing up in a Spanish speaking family that came to the United States seeking a better future, my first years of school were difficult because I had to learn a new language and leave all my friends and family behind, in other words I had to start from scratch in a foreign country. I had a dream in mind when I came to the United States, I was once taught a valuable lesson; to pursue a career or I would end up working in the fields like most of my friends and family. Lindsay is a small town but everyone that lives here have big goals for themselves. My parents always encouraged me to pursue a career.The most inspirational advice my parents gave me was, "Don't be like us, succeed and give your children a brighter future than what we gave you, and learn to never say 'I can't do it' because you are capable of doing what you set your mind to". My parents have inspired me to obtain what they never had, an education. |
