Hello, my name is Maria Valdez, I am 17 years old. My parents are Elvira and Adolfo Valdez, there are 6 children in our family, I am the baby. I have four sisters and two brothers. I was born here in Lindsay on May 21,1998. Spending time with family is very important to me, we like to go places together. Olivia is one of my sisters that lives in Florida. We try to call or skype as much as we can. I haven’t seen her in over 6 years. When I finish high school I don’t think that I am going to go to college. My future will probably be to get a job working and teaching children.
