Victoria "Vikky" Cruz

I am Victoria Cruz, I was born in the Bronx, New York. I'm 17-years-old. I am a hard-working person that loves to finish her work on time. My interest is to become the best I can be. I spend my time doing school work and putting stories on the radio. My plans for the future are to become a social worker and help many students express their stress.

I live in the Bronx, New York. It is very loud and crowded, but it is a very good place to live in even though some people make you feel low when they call it the "ghetto," but people can make them think another way.

One interesting thing about me is that I'm determined and confident about who I am. (October 2009)

Recorder: New New
The name of my recorder is New New, from ATL. She's very confident, a very good listener, and a good working companion.
