"There are not secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure" -Colin Powell
My name is Rubi Cervantes, I'm the middle child of three, I have an older sister which is a freshman at Fresno State University in Fresno California and a younger brother who is a Junior at Lindsay High School. I live with my parents and my brother. I came with my family to the United States approximately four years ago.It was very hard to adapt to a new environment especially for me because when I was in mexico I lived with my aunt and my grandparents since I was born until I was eleven . For me it was like a new world with a new life, but after a couple of years I finally understood why they brought me with them here. Now I don't only have a new life, but I also have a new mentality with new goals. My parents brought us to california because they wanted a better future for me and my siblings. I will take advantage of this great opportunity that they gave to us, by doing my best and achieving my academic goals and be successful.
