I am currently studying at the University of Houston under the Mechanical Engineering department. Even though this is a hard career and it only seems to get harder I am actually starting to truly realize what I want in life and I know that this is what I want to do for the rest of my life. I also dance with the Colombian Folkloric Ballet company and I am enjoying learning more about my Colombia and I am also becoming a better dancer because of it. I am a friend for life to the people that get close to me, and I enjoy every minute of it. There is no better satisfaction than knowing that you are becoming a better person by the day. I dance better, I learn more, and I improve day by day. Shy only when it involves a beautiful girl, but never timid the rest of the time. The Quote I try to live by is: "Forgiveness is bliss, friendship is lovely, love is life, family is there, God is everything. Live life like there is no tomorrow" (my grandpa, Angel Elias Velez)
