Senses and Stuff

 The tongue is a very sensitive muscle. Hence why babies put everything in their mouth as it tells them about their environment (not just for teething purposes)! The appearance of the tongue is a good indicator of health. Tastes buds actually aren't limited to your tongue. They can be found in your cheeks, nose, and on your lips. So technically... if you had no tongue... you could taste a bit.

Hypothalamus/Endorphins

Sick?? Super Singing Sergio is here to save the day!!

Super Sergio was a young boy living an ordinary life. One day, Sergio's mom fell ill to a severe virus. His father took her to the best doctors in the country, but nobody could help her. Sergio couldn't fully understand the situation and played pretend doctor with his mom. Only it wasn't pretend... he actually ended up healing his mom completely. From there, Sergio formulated a special song that could treat any sickness. When he sings, his words somehow regulate the fevers of the sick (hypothalamus-homeostasis). Furthermore, his special song acts a painkiller that immediately relieves pain, stress, and discomfort of the sick (endorphins-pain-killer).

GO SERGIOOO!!!!!! 

Life Story

I was born on March 6th in Houston, Texas! I started walking at the ripe age of 11 months. Soon, I began talking at the 1 year mark. Fun fact: I could use effectively use chopsticks to feed myself when I was 2 #talent. 

My love for sports allowed me to be very active throughout my younger years. Right now, the only professional sport I actively keep up with is American Football. Fun fact: I've been a packers fan since I was 4!

I've recently got into dancing as a hobby! While I'm not good at it at all (especially compared to my super talented friends), I still find a lot of joy in it :) You can watch some fun clips here!  

I grew up as an only child. However, I've always had at least one pet as far back as I can remember. Currently, I have two dogs named Jake and Rex.

I'll be graduating next year in 2024. The thought terrifies me. I think I will really miss all the memories I've made and people I've met in high school. I'd like to stay in Texas for now because I have a lot of family and support here. 

I see myself pursuing pharmacy and one day opening a coffee shop. In an ideal life, I hope I'm still good friends with the friends I have now. I plan to marry around my late twenties or early thirties. My wedding will likely be in Houston since our families will probably be here, but I hope for a honeymoon in Asia or Europe👀 If I have kids, I'd have 1 or 2 in my early 30s. 

I see my self as an avid traveller just living life with no regrets #yolo.

I hope I can comfortably retire around 55-60 #401k. 😁

Death scares me, but I hope I'll live happily and healthily past 85.
