Militza Rivera has had a very wild and unpredictable life, from moving around as a child to having her future plans for herself turned upside down. She has been many exotic places and experienced many things, so her life is not at all what she expected, but that is ok with her. Her father was a diplomat from Puerto Rico, so her family was forced to move around a lot, which added a lot of unexpected twists and turns to her life. She was born in Puerto Rico and has lived just about everywhere else in North and South America since that time.

Finally, even though, she mentioned that she hoped to never return, perhaps she did want to linger on the minds and thoughts of people. Besides, she didn’t have any kids and the several students that she mentored, “Los Fridos”, could have served as response to her concerns of not being forgotten after death (Dosamantes-Beaudry, 10).

The Famous Artist, Diego Rivera, was born December 8th, 1886. Rivera went to study art at the San Carlos Academy of Fine Arts in Mexico City. He began to study on painting at an early age in 1907 and moved to Europe. On his later free time for the past 14 years in Paris, Diego Rivera found the works of such great masters like Matisse, Gauguin, and Cezanne.
