I was born in Peru in a small town called Nasca. Peru is a beautiful country with lots of natural resources and wonderful people, but disparities in its society are obvious and tangible. I felt them firsthand as a child born into a low-income family. We struggled financially, and I never had much growing up, but the one thing I never lacked was motivation. I wanted to work hard to build a better future for myself than my parents could have ever imagined.
