If fatherhood has taught me anything, it has taught me that life never works out the way you plan it. At the ambitious age of 18 I had the most foolproof plan on how my life was going to play out. I was going into college, pre-med. Four years later I would go into the University of Kentucky and study medicine, pediatrics. Then, and only then, would I settle down with kids of my own. I was going to do great things, achieve so much, travel the world. I had it planned in my head but little did I know, God had a plan that was bigger than my own.
July 18th, 2009. That was the first step into this life I am in now. The day God granted me a wife. I never would have thought that I would been married right out of high school, but it seemed right. Step three of my foolproof plan came a little bit too early. I seemed to have jumped forward 8 years ahead of my plan. “That’s ok”, I thought to myself, “I can reassess and do this”. Around 11 months after that date is when we welcomed our first daughter into the world. Never would I have thought that a year removed from high school would I have a daughter. I had already seemed that my life had spiraled out of my control. This was not how I envisioned my perfect life! What seemed like a foolproof plan, turned me into a fool to try and plan it. Over the next several years we welcomed four other kids into our happy family, three boys and another girl. Now eight years later I have five kids and no MD. So, what do I do now? Regroup? Create

January 1st I packed myself my 2 year old daughter and most of our belongings into a new home. I never would have guessed that in approximately two and a half years I would have been getting a divorce from the person who I had been so in love with just a few years earlier. Someone who I had built a home with, someone who I had spent the last 7 years of my life with had a child and raised a step child as my own with.
When I started my freshman year I considered becoming a pediatrician, which was just one of the many turns on the rollercoaster of figuring out my life. But that ride ended when I took anatomy and physiology my sophomore, it helped me to decide that my passion is to obtain my Doctorate of Physical Therapy; hopefully as a Jaguar.

December 1999, the year I decided to do a big change in my life and move to Springfield, Massachusetts. I am from a little town in Puerto Rico, which few people are familiar with, coming to such a big country. It was a challenge that change the way I see life and the way I see right from wrongs.
Some started their future at a young age and some start later. The problem I always had is that I’m very indecisive and figure out what happens with my own life. I imagine my future as a business woman working for a big company, taking the lead on everything. Coming home to a loving, supporting family with a husband with children is what I dream of. Turning the tables around a little bit, I also aspire to travel the world with no strings attached. The fact that I cannot have any of this right now disappoints me, and I can only imagine myself doing these goals, but doing nothing about
For me I decided that what I wanted was to enter in the medical field, I realized this when I was put into medical terminology my sophomore year. I hadn't intended on taking the class, I didn't even realize the school offered it. I was only put in it because all other classes were full. I wasn't too glad about it because I thought i'd be bored learning about medical stuff I had no interest in. But within the first week I became enthralled by all it had to offer. I had never realized how truly fascinating a human body could be, how I was joyed at the thought that I could help people feel better. I enjoyed every second of that class, constantly fascinated about what went on and what caused what. It took me a week to realize that I wanted to be in the medical field. But what exactly in that field did I want to do? I was automatically drawn to pediatrician, i'm not even sure how it came to me but it felt right. It dawned on me on how

In June of 2012, our family decided to go on a vacation together. My mom, dad, brothers, sister, and I got into the car and drove to California from Idaho. It took us about eight hours to get there. When we arrived we checked into the hotel and swam in the pool a bit. Then we went up to our room and rested for the big day to come.
My wife and I were planning our future. You should've known I needed it for an important cause.
