<p>Random Info:
I am an IB student and attend one of the top schools in the country.
I am Hispanic.
I am male.
I am considered a first-generation college student by most, since my parents achieved their degrees in Cuba.
My college essay for UF has been reviewed by a past English teacher and my current Theory of Knowledge teacher, and they feel it is very strong and effective.
I will be majoring in English. In FSU's case, I will go into the Creative Writing branch of the English program.</p>
