About Me: "Mi Vida" by San Martin de Bklyn

Hours before the 1974 Times Square New Year Eve's ball dropped and people began to cheer the start of a new year, I was born. I've lived in Brooklyn most of my life. I started out in Williamsburg, then East New York, and now in Cypress Hills. Although I did reside in Woodhaven, Queens for a short time. Growing up as adolescent, I was very much involved in Athletics. All year round I played a sport depending on what season it was. In the summer I played baseball and basketball. In the winter I'd play football. I wasn't much different from the boys in my neighborhood. Some of us even got into bodybuilding and boxing.
As I got older and started to attend college, I got more in tuned with the Arts. Throughout high school I listened to music, such as hip-hop and R&B but in college I learned about Rock and folk. My world as I knew it began to expand. I also got intrigued with film and literature. I watched numerous movies and wrote a whole lot (and still do). I hope to some day become a published writer or even a director (but this is a long shot). Don't be fooled...this is not why I'm in school for. I attend college now because I'm hoping to teach English in middle school (hopefully creative writing). Much has happened between high school and now but I rather not get into all of that. As far as what I'm like and what my interest are you can get some idea from what I've shared thus far. I will say that I am a person of integrity, at least I've been told. I always try to look for the good in people or things. And I do my best to have fun in whatever I'm doing. That's me ya!.....Mi Vida.
