About Me
My name is Melisa and my origin is Hispanic and American. I am 14 years old and I was born on February 19 in the city of Bellflower, but now, I live in Paramount, CA. From my dads side, I have 3 siblings: Susana, David and Adrian. From my mom's side, i have 3 sisters: Karla, Ingry, and Bianca. I have a little sister from both of my parents. I went to Lincoln Elementary and then transferred to Our Lady of the Rosary in 6th grade and I graduated there. I have been involved in activities throughout the school years like Academic Decathlon, Choir, Alter Serving, Garden and Newspaper Club, and instrument classes. Some of my hobbies and sports is swimming, playing volleyball, drawing, and listening to music. Other things that I love are sunsets, clear water beaches, collecting sea shells, and traveling. My favorite color is blue because of the ocean and black. Also, my favorite genre of music is pop, classical, and jazz. In addition, I play the piano, guitar, recorder, and the violin. My favorite books are the Percy Jackson series along with all the books from Rick Riordan.
