About MeHello, my name is Maria and I am an incoming freshman that will be attending PMA this fall. I previously attended SMS for the past three years. This year will become my fourth year attending a private Catholic Education. Moreover, I grew up in Watts, California along with my mother, father, and my brother Enrique. The area is mostly infamous for its gang violence and my parents decided to enroll my brother and I into a Catholic education since it was a safer option than attending a regular public school around the area. Furthermore, I love to read, watch anything on Netflix, make new friends, listen to The Beatles, and having an awesome time with friends! Overall, I can't wait to continue new adventures that awaits in my life! |
FamilyMother (left) , Brother (middle), Father (right) In my family, there is my mother, father, and my older brother. Not to mention how they are one of the loveliest people I have ever encountered in my life. Sure, we may have our ups and downs yet at the end of the day, we still love each other. |
FriendsNicole (left) and Demilynn (right) I met Demilynn since the sixth grade. She is honestly one of the greatest human beings I had ever met in my life and she is the most genuine person alive. She (along with my friend Nicole) had always been through together even in the most darkest of times and I am really grateful for that :) |
Role ModelsJohn Lennon I have so many role models in my life, yet one in particular is this musician and peace activist, John Lennon. John Lennon had grew up in a "broken home", yet music was his way to escape all of that. Moreover, he made music as his passion even if he was discouraged by some family members and peers. Ultimately,he taught me the ability to persist and to never feel discouraged by anyone. |
