  7. Twelve Years in Guatemala Driving into El Progreso through the Calzada el Bosque.

  8. Twelve Years in Guatemala “La Piedrona” Climbed el Cerro de Suchitan (6699 ft) in September of 2006.

  9. Back in the U.S. I moved back to New Jersey literally the day after I graduated form High School in Guatemala (2006). I left the country without telling anyone at all that I was leaving to probably never come back (personal reasons). Even though I was coming back home, I left the world as I knew it for the last 12 years behind. It was without a doubt, one of the hardest and saddest moments of my life so far.

  10. Back in the U.S. I am currently studying at King’s College, in pursuit of a Spanish Major and a Mass Communications minor.

  11. I'm proud and thankful to have been born in America, but Guatemala and it’s great people made me the person I am today.
