Ryan Joel Maldonado, yes thats the full name. I am 16 years old and a senior in high school. Are you ready for a story? Ready, set, go.... I was born on September 28, 1990 in Hayward, CA to Marilyn and Joel Maldonado. I grew up in a mixed family of Mexican and Swedish decent. My first home was set down in San Lorenzo, CA, with my parents, when I was still just a baby. At 2 years old, we moved to Hayward, for a more permanent stay. Yet, it did not become permanent. By 1995, my parent..s marriage had been struggling, and ended up in separation. I was at the age of 5, but still no feeling of traumitization. I moved with my mom to San Leandro and have been living here since. I love it in the Bay Area and I would never leave!
