Hello, my name is Rick Vallejo, but I preferred to be called Ricky. I am Puerto Rican, Korean, Spaniard, and white. I was born on March 15th, 1994 in the Medical Center located in Columbus, Georgia and have lived there until this year. I am biology major and I attend at the University of Georgia.

I consider myself as being pretty shy because I do not like to talk to a lot of people at once, unless I know all the people fairly well. I also think of myself as a nice person because I try to help people when I can.

My interests include playing guitar, bass, and alto saxophone, playing tennis, watching Japanese cartoons, playing games, and hanging out with friends in my spare time. In the future, I want to go to Japan to learn more about the culture and to get first hand experience of what it is like to live there.

I, at first, wanted to major in music, but I decided not to because it is very hard to find a job in the music business and because it requires a lot of time devoted to practicing. I chose to major in biochemistry because I like science and math and because I wanted to become a doctor that gets paid well and helps people at the same time.
