My name is Raquel Adriana
Salgado, I was born here in Tucson, Arizona and am currently
a sophomore at Tucson High School, Go Badgers Class of 2013!
I am the daughter of Guadalupe and Lorraine Salgado. I have an
older sister Marianna and a younger brother Christian. I am the
middle child minus the "supposed middle child complex issues". |

When I was born my Dad said
I cried for two and a half hours straight after entering the
world. The nurses laughed and joked how I was destined to be
a singer... who knew they would be right. I love to sing and
have played violin in a mariachi group since the second grade.
Currently I'm an apprentice in the Mariachi group Los Changuitos
Feos. If I don't have a violin in my hands then I have a ball
at my feet or on my hands as soccer and volleyball keep me active.
I love helping others and spend my remaining free time with my
mother volunteering at local charities in a non profit organization
called the National Charity League. I guess I'm best described
as well-rounded or maybe even over involved. |

I remember being asked what
I wanted to be when I was older and the future seemed so far
away. But now my childhood years are behind me and my future
lies at my finger tips and it scares and excites me all at the
same time. After high school I hope to attend the University
of Notre Dame. I'm still not sure exactly what I want to pursue
as a career but hope to continue helping people and following
whatever plan god has in store for me. My goals are high and
my ambitions may be far fetched but I am a strong believer that
if my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it, then
I know I can achieve it. |

Being a Florecita is important
to me because I will be following in the footsteps of my mother
Lorraine, who celebrated her ball in 1982, and my older sister
Marianna who received this honor in 2006. It is a family tradition
and an event I have been looking forward to since the first time
I saw the pictures of my mom and her dad taken the night of her
ball. Being a Florecita has given me many positive experiences
and the opportunity to make lifelong friends. With my fellow
Florecitas, I hope that together we will enter our new world
with God's blessings and contribute to making this world a better
place. |
