001[Music] Here in Huachicago, I'm involved in several clubs, like Eniges, all involved in waves. I've also been playing baseball for three years, and this year will be my fourth. Also, what I appreciate about Chicago is something really, really great that this school has here: the teachers help you a lot if you want to learn, if you want to study. They help you do all of that. And [Music] To everyone who's coming in, I would tell them to keep going, to give it their all in school because when you come from a country like Mexico where there are many opportunities and everything, but they're not the same as here, and when you live life there like someone did, you realize when you arrive in this world how different things are, and the opportunities you can have, and the things you can do in this country are really great. Take advantage, take advantage, study, and keep giving it your all, always give it your all, and keep going and focus on your dreams, and don't let anyone stop you from doing that. Give it your all, everyone. My next step is going to college. I want to go to college. I want to keep playing baseball. I want to study, have a career in architecture or electrical work, something that will make me money and also something I like, and keep studying. My name is Rafael Herrera, I am the student of the month of August. [Music]
