Student Biography: Hello, my name is Javier Santos Ramos. I grew up in Santa Maria for 18 years of my life, when I was 7 I went to Mexico for my first time experience. One memory I'll always remember, when I went with my mother, some aunties, and my uncle to get food at the flea market. We arrived in a truck early in the morning. On the road I had my favorite blanket. I slept in the trunk but couldn't sleep and started throwing up because the smell of gasoline made me dizzy. Eventually I finally fell asleep once I woke up the next instant and nobody was around. But sooner or later they came because with big bags of groceries. The only thing that bummed me out was I didn't get to experience what it's like to walk in the city if mexico. When we arrived home it was night. We had two guard dogs that barely knew me and I was running back while barking at me. and One time they caught up to me and tripped me. The dogs started to nibble/bite me. That’s how my trip went, I got 5 uncles, 4 aunties, one deceased uncle, often cousins I see are 10, have divorced parents, 2 brothers. I am an uncle of two little special ladies, and I got a woman. She loves doing her makeup. Often when I'm done with many things I go off to my local gym and work out for a few hours. An activity I enjoy is playing soccer, physical labor, finishing academics, and making others smile with my personality makes me happy. The refran is what my painting was about,so I was thinking out of the mist an idea pops up instantly.i gave it a little thought It goes a little like this “Flower petals that lead to a twirling tree, a branch tree hovers over a legacy” From the beginning of where the seeds start to grow, ruts under the ground make an appearance into the world, like a leaf sprouting showing life with meaning of purpose, to commence a growth of pedals, giving life to what’s able to be seen. A left legacy of one's path going through a road you can follow in someone's footsteps to create your own path. A certain way you’ll be or do that you enjoy doing. Improve your portfolio with changes. Something that goes off with is, if you can’t go through a change, how will you even find your silly side? That side only when you're lonely you can find.
