Who I Am

Well my name is Miguel Gonzalez. I came from Mexico, and I have lived in New York city for  20 years.

I am a son, brother, uncle, husband, father, worker, student and runner.

I love my parents. I call them once a week. I still miss my brothers and sisters. I love my nephews.

When I came to New York City, after 2 years of hard work, I met my wife in a factory and we soon became a couple. After one year and three months we moved to a apartment. We then had our first child named Michael. We were so happy to be parents. 8 Years later my son Marc-Anthony was born. My wife named him after my brother-in-law. When my Michael was 12 and Anthony was 4 my beautiful daughter Hillary was born. My family is the reason I go to work to feed them and take care of them.

I am a caring husband and I love my wife always. I try to be a friend, confidant and a good husband. I hope to do well because I love my wife. I am also a father and it is not very easy because there is no book to be a great father but I try to do my best and when the time passes by we will see if I did a good job. 

I am an employee. I cook in a deli and make salads and soups but my favorite dish is the cheese platter and the vegetable platters. 

I am a student. I go to school to learn English and I always try my best to learn this language. I've been here for three months and I see progress in my English and my classmates including my teacher Eric. 

Beside my normal life I also run. I have great memories because when I was still in Mexico I was one of the best runners in my school and I made it to the newspapers and magazines in Mexico. 20 years later I am in New York and I started to run again. Last year I ran the Brooklyn Half-Marathon, the 10k in Queens, and the half-marathon of Staten Island. I like who I am and the life that I have. 

This is who I am.
