Edward Llanos

Well, my name is Edward and I'm a high school senior who is not looking forward to graduating. I don't know about everyone else, but school is fun, at least that's what I make of it. Here in Queens, we have more than what any borough has. First off, the city is less then 15 minutes away and Queens is the only borough where 147 different languages are spoken.
