My life as Adriana Torres started on June 15, 2001. It was kind of odd because when i was born my parents said i was born exactly at the time of 6:15 am. They thought it was a coincidence that my birthday is 6.15.01 and i was born at 6:15 am. My name Adriana, came from the spanish origin.

In my family there are 5 other people not including me, which are my two older brothers and my older sister, then my two parents.

Throughout my life growing up in Polk County whenever police departments became a topic of conversation, the best department in the area would always be Lakeland Police department.

Sometimes, my aunties would join in and we would all play a game we made up that’s like baseball. Since my aunties took care of my younger brother and I before they started their own families, they would take us to the park and we would play that game or we would bike to the Marina in San Leandro from our
