Hi Bayan,

I am Edel Patrick Cabradilla, I was born in Philippines on May 1st, 1993. I grew up there and just finished 3rd grade until my father (who was working abroad in Barcelona, Spain decided to move the entire family there). I arrived in Barcelona on July 2001. My first class there started on September and by that time I focused on learning Spanish and Catalan (language spoken in Catalunya, Valencia, Andorra, Balear Islands, Zaragoza, etc). Soccer was really popular there, so I played soccer in a team for 3 years. I was also interested Basketball; one day my friend Jeff recommended me to go there and to try out for the team called Barcelona Braval (Braval) and by that day I committed myself to go in every single training and match. Resuming my achievement playing basketball there (won 3 championships, lost in semi-finals and 2 quarter-finals). As a student, I wanted to finish High School there and be majoring in Industrial Engineering in Universidad Politecnica de Barcelona (UPB), but I could not by the fact that I moved into the United States because of my family decisions on October 2010. Before moving to U.S, I was wondering if my hard work in Spain was worthful by the fact that what I learned there will no longer be useful in the U.S. I went to Otay Ranch High School because of my cousin who was studying there. I struggled because of the new language (English), but I worked hard and finally get my High School Diploma. Finally, I went to SWC and this is my 2nd semester where I have my English class, and hoping to improve myself as a critical thinker.
