gracias, for taking the time to evaluate my comment.
I am an aspiring Puertorriquena seeking an opportunity to be known and heard to make a difference for my fellow Puerto Ricans. I was raised in Brookly, NY by only my mother and I thank her for helping me get this far. Now all I want is to make her and my family happy and to be one of the few in my family to attend college and finish.I have seen finances put a stop to the fullfillment of the dreams of those in my family. I want to show them what I can accomplish and how one person can truly make a difference. I want the voice of Puerto Ricans to be heard once and for all. I was very inspired when I atteded the Congressional Hispanic Caucas Instiute for two years in a row, I saw all these latinos trying to make a difference so that i can have an opportunity i just want to return the favor and take all that i learned and go out and make difference. Like i have metioned i only have one parent so therefore financily it may be difficult for me but when it come to having a good mind set and a good heart iam truly ready. So please allow me the chance so that I Christina Flores can make diffrerence and fullfill her dream. Thank you for your time and consideration. I may be contacted at vivirhoy@aol.com.
Yours Truly,
Christina Flores
