Being inside his mother’s tummy, Christian, was a high risk pregnancy; his mother stayed in the hospital for months, while his father was an alcoholic and wasn’t supportive to his mother. After he was born, Christian’s mother decided to leave his father and start a new life being a single and proud mother in Puerto Rico, where he grew up and became a man. After 14 years without knowing his blood father, he received a phone call from him, which he thought it was a joke. He then decided to meet his father’s family in Springfield, Massachusetts, and found out the kind of person his father was, “no one to look up to”, said Christian. He felt sorry for him as he got to know him, and realize that his mother made the right choice for them.
Christian is a very funny, attentive, but most importantly, a caring person. He is a Computer Programmer student at UPR of Mayaguez. He enjoys his free time playing console games, specially “Call of Duty”, which is a war game.

Christian in Church with the love of his life, his girlfriend Melissa. The love he has for Melissa is so strong, that he can’t imagine his life without her.
In High School, he met Melissa, the love of his life, ever since they have been together. The love he has for her is sincere, pure and strong. It has been three years since he met her, and he feels like the first day, but most important he feels she is the one.
By having God by his side, he feels strong and centered headed to continue his journey as a computer programmer with the dream of working in a gaming company and having a beautiful family. And like Christian said, “ Having my love by my side, gives me strength to be the man I am today and the man I will be tomorrow.”
“Love is a reason for living, a reason for trying, a reason for life.”

You did a good positive and perseverance profile. This was a story of a brave mother who desire to grow up her son despite circunstances. Christian has to be proud to his mother because she was a good mother who desire to raise and help Christian to be the man who nowadays is he. Good work!!!
