Welcome to the Story of My Life. . I obviously don't remember anything about this time, but knowing my mom's hand was there is comforting to me even today.

I was transported back to my parents' first small apartment. I was older this time, able to sit up on my own. I was sitting on the bed, surrounded by the simple but cozy furnishings of our home. It was a reminder of the humble beginnings and the hard work that my parents put in to create a comfortable life for our family.

My cousins were some of the most influential people on me growing up. Same with our grandma Jefa. She is holding me when I was just a few months old. She was our babysitter after school for the majority of the time I was in elementary school. We would always stay at Mark and Bryan's house and play sports outside. It's crazy looking at how little we all were and where we are now.
