<p>Hello CC! First post, here it goes.</p>
<p>I'm a Hispanic male, of Colombian descent, entering his senior year.
-Little bit about me: I'm an outgoing, fun-loving/hardworking senior from the great state of Texas. My parents are both immigrants from Colombia. They are both doctors educated here in state universities. I am the only American-born in my family. I am a dual citizen of both Colombia and the US. I speak fluent Spanish, abet at home most of the time. My hope is to follow in both my parents' footsteps and pursue a medical career. My moderately populated high school sends only a handful to competitive schools, with students rarely traveling far from home. </p>

<p>Essays/Recommendations:
Recommendations should be great. I've truly bonded with most of my teacher.
Essays I am assuming will be fine. However, I am currently suffering from writer's block on what to write about. (Perhaps some input here? There are some hardships I have in mind, and also my outgoing personality and quirky(!) nature)</p>
