Introduction

      I am Xavier, I was born in New Year’s Eve in Fairfax, Virginia.  However, I didn’t stay there for very long, at about 8 months old I moved to where most of my family is from, Miami. My dad’s side all come from Cuba, they moved after Fidel Castro took most of their money and belongings, originally going to New York and then coming down Miami. My mother’s side of the family came straight from San Tiago, Chile, they were the only section of their family to come here, dropping all their connections and blood to come to America.
     For grades k through 2nd I went to a small neighborhood school in Pembroke Pines, but after 2nd grade I was accepted to a special program in Parkway Middle School for 3 through 8th grade. During that time I excelled in math, doing Algebra 1 in 5th grade and now I’m doing Ap calc sophomore year. Through my time at Parkway I did a lot of different sports such as lacrosse, soccer, volleyball and more.
     Now I go to Fort Lauderdale High School, I am in my second year. I am a second year varsity wrestler, at a tournament for the whole county, out of 32 schools I got 10th place at 120 pounds. I am also a part of the math team and I do lights, mics, and music for theatre at school. I currently have a 4.5 gpa.
