I'm originally from Guanajuato, Mexico.  I've lived in the U.S most of my life and now considered myself to be an American. Although my roots and culture are deeply embedded and I will never be forgotten. I've been extremely lucky to have met and made friends from all over the world.

We all as humans have so many
similarities and the differences
 makes us unique. Understanding
other cultures has helped me
understand my own. Working
with other people has enriched
my life in so many positive ways.

If you have an opportunity to meet
someone from a different culture
or race give them an opportunity
to learn from you. The one person
might just become you next best
friend.
