By Miles S. from Eureka Senior High School in California

“I live with my mom, and then my dad lives pretty far away, but I don’t really stay in contact. … I wanted to be in the medical field, but I’m not exactly sure what I wanna do. … I also want to travel. I think the first place I will go visit is my family in Mexico because I haven’t seen them since I was three. I would probably visit my dad in Texas and get to meet my half-siblings.”
