I am Aaron Mercado, 19 and Filipinom born and raised in California. I was born differently than
other babies. I was born in a Hit-and-run car accident at 3 lbs 1 ounce, to be exact its the size of both
your hands put together. I developed Asthma and a not fully grown ear drum which explains why i
have scars behind my ear is because I recently underwent surgery about  a couple weeks ago. I am fine
now but working towards being able to play contact sports. This is going to be my first blog in a while.
I've tried to do these blogs before but most of the time they never worked out due to me being busy
with life. I am another student trying to graduate college but not only for me but for my parents. All my
life I've wanted to just make my parents proud and graduating college i know for sure that it will bring
my parents much joy. For some good irrelevant news is i finally got my permit to drive so I've been
driving often. My parents actually had no hope for me to drive and now that i have passed this Permit t
test i can finally take the Behind-The wheel driving test.
 I am in this class because last semester I took ENG 101A and I wanted a challenge to see how I
would do in ENG102 . I am here to learn and succeed in English, I'm pretty good at English but
sometimes my grammer can sure mess me up. I am willing to work my hardest to get up to college
level English. Also , I'm prepared to learn anything that you teach or throw my way. I know it won't be
easy to obtain a good grade becuase i can be at times timid and lazy but one of the things i work
toward this year is to procrastinate less. I feel like often everyone does but to a certain extent.
 I can say that I am passionate about many things but one of the many is making people happy and
being able to change ones day is more than enough. I am passionate about food, family, baskeball and
many more. There is no specific thing I can be super passionate on. I put a lot of time into taking care
 of family and taking pictures of food. It has grown from a regular thing to a habit, that before anyone
 eats i have to catch a picture as lame is may seem i dont know I'm just very good at taking some high
def food pictures.. I love food ,friends, family and of course god. I think If I didnt have any family I'd be stuck, lost and sad, I wouldn't know what or where to go. I've had family support throughout all my life which probably explains to why I am such a family man.
