So, I’m Lesley. I was born on September 26, 2000, and am the youngest of five siblings. I grew up in a traditional Mexican family in a city called Poughkeepsie. Even though my family and I were living here in the United States, my parents always made sure to keep our cultural traditions present. Two of my favorite traditions that my family has is celebrating “Dia de Los Reyes” and “Dia de Los Muertos.”
Growing up I was always surrounded to sports because of my siblings. I began playing basketball at the age of seven, and had my brother and sisters teach the basics. In middle school, I became interested in volleyball and joined the school team. Later on in high school, I decided to try rowing and so I joined the school rowing team.
Education wise, I currently attend Poughkeepsie High School and am interested in science – nothing specific just everything about the subject. I hope to graduate from college and become a paramedic.
Okay. So, yeah. That’s me.
