Valeria Torres

Hi, I am Val Torres, I'm a 15-year-old sophomore. My hobbies are makeup, writing, and color guard. I am co-captain of the color guard team in the South El Monte marching band. I love how makeup is a way to express yourself. But also writing. I am the youngest of 3 siblings, I have 2 older brothers, a mom, dad, and 10 pets (4 cats and 6 dogs). My favorite food is enchiladas. My favorite music is reggaeton, and my favorite movies are romance movies and sci-fi. I love to travel, my dream is to travel all around Latin America. My dream is to be happy in the future and live a life I'm proud of. “Live a life you won’t regret.”
