75/365

Name: Francisco 'Paco'
Three words to describe yourself: obnoxious, outgoing, fun-loving
Paco was born in Monterrey, Mexico and moved to Suwanee, Georgia when he was thirteen years old. His father is a salesman, so the family moved because of his job. At the age of four, Paco learned English, so adjusting to American culture wasn't too difficult for him. He could enunciate words well, but it "took a while to learn the lingo". Compared to Mexico, Paco said he likes the "spacious neighborhoods" in America because he did not have a front or back yard growing up. He is studying broadcasting journalism in hopes of eventually becoming a sportscaster, and would like to play the guitar well. We also exchanged a few stories, and Paco told me his most embarrassing one when he was ten years old. He had just taken a shower and for some reason decided to sit on the sink. His parents knocked on the door, which scared him, and he fell on the floor. His eyelid was cut open, so he had to get stitches, but he told his parents that he fell out of the shower, instead of the sink. One time, his family went skiing in New Mexico, and he lost his family at the ski park. Instead of freaking out, he went to one of the workers, and when his family found him, he was drinking hot chocolate with the ski hill employees. Also, Paco wants to try out for the UGA football team next year, and he has to get surgery on his shoulder over break, so best of luck to you!
