Mix From "My Name" and " I am From"

My name is Gadier O. Garcia Diaz , born in Corozal Puerto Rico on August 30, 1999. My name came from a mix between my dad's and mom's names.  I came from a humble family in the countryside in Puerto Rico. The countryside looked like some scenes from the Amazon . My backyard was filled with Avocado trees, pineapples shrubs,  plantain trees,  banana trees all around our little piece of land and  it had a field where cows grazed nearby. I remember as a child that I would go down there and help my Great Grandpa pick fruits and vegetables for supper, which was a nice custom we had. He told me to always pay attention in school and he told me that I was going to be an Engineer. This is when my name became important to me. My name means everything to my family because I have family members in Puerto Rico and if they hear anything that deals about me its like a beacon and they know what I'm doing. I felt that my name was famous on April of 2013. It was important because on that April day that’s when I got my acceptance letter form ECHS. My name Sounded like ringing bells because of how happy my family was. I felt important. My name resembled a legacy that I might graduate from High School and get a College degree at the same time. Something that my parents couldn't have the opportunities as I did. I felt Successful and I felt that I might be the next Bill Gates in my family. My life-long goal is soon to be accomplished and to " Always Keep Moving Forward", even through life's hard Challenges.
