My name is Herman Valderas Ibarra and i am 17 years old. I was born in Raleigh, North Carolina, but was raised in a small town in San Luis Potosi, Mexico called La Loma. I learned to live a simple life and many other things as well. I lived there till i was 8 then my parents brought me back to North Carolina. Since then I have been living in Willow Springs. I live in a small neighborhood full of family so i kind of feel like im back at home in La Loma. I was raised on a tough and crazy enviroment surrounded by some bad people at times, but i never let that get the best of me. My motto has and always will be no pain no gain, Because I have learned to make my mistakes into learning experiences.
