My name is Benjamin Ruvalcaba and I am 15 years old. I was born in Stockton but was raised in French Camp for most my life but then moved back to Stockton. I am one of seven people in my family. I go to Health Careers Academy and I plan to have a career in the medical field. Some careers I have in mind are a cardiac surgeon, pediatrician, pediatric surgeon, or a radiologist. I play about 4 sports and plan to add more but the 4 I play right now are badminton, soccer, football, and volleyball. Some colleges I have in mind are UC Davis, UOP, and San Joaquin Delta College. Some majors I have in mind are premedicine, chemistry, or biology.

I come from two loving parents named Benjamin and Estela Ruvalcaba. They are two of the most important people in my life and they are one of the most hardworking, caring, loving, and supportive parents I know. They have shaped me into the person I am today and they've done a lot of things for me that I appreciate so very much. They take me to my sport practices and go and cheer me on at my games. They always try and provide my necessities. They care so much for my education and support me through it. They believe more in me than I do in myself. I really love them a lot and appreciate them. I also have 3 brothers and 1 sister. Even though they may make me mad, I still have to love and thank them for putting up with me. They are all so supportive and so caring. I hope the best for all of them.

November 2nd, 2017 is the day a beautiful girl became my loving girlfriend. It was one of the happiest days of my life. To this day, I am still shocked and so appreciative she said yes. I still get butterflies in my stomach talking/being with her. She is one of the most beautiful people I have ever met and always knows how to make everything better. She is so gorgeous appearance-wise but also beautiful on the inside. Everything about her is perfect like her smile, laugh, and personality. She has made a huge impact on my life. Just talking to her makes me forget about my worries, stress, or anything. I wake up everyday with a huge smile knowing I have her as my girlfriend. I can never thank her enough for all the things she has done for me.

Some of my hobbies consist of sports, such as soccer and football. Another hobby is eating and I really like Mexican food. Another hobby is being with family, friends, or my beautiful girlfriend. My last hobby is being laying down on the grass at night and staring at the stars.
