What is your nationality?
My nationality is half white from my mother's side and half Mexican from my father's side.

What or who has been your biggest cultural influence?
My biggest cultural influence would be my grandparents on my father's side. My grandpa immigrated to the US while my grandma stayed in Mexico with my dad. Whatever money he had, he would send it over to my grandma and try to save it up so both my grandma and father will be able to immigrate to the US. They've been through a lot and now they have a wonderful family that is filled with love.

What would you like people to know about your culture?
I want people to know that we are hardworking people and we are very dedicated to what we do to ensure a better future.

What is your favorite food?
My favorite food is pan dulce with horchata.

What is a fun fact about yourself?
A fun fact about me is that I got my name (Ricardo) from the TV show "I Love Lucy"!
