My name is Antonio E. Santiago Figueroa. I was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico in 2001 and lived there until I was 18 years old. Growing up I went to a school called Saint Francis School that taught Pre-K to 12th Grade. I was always very active and was a swimmer where I competed every other weekend. My interests where always video games and things around that culture, I believe the fact that I ended up being fluent in English is because of that. When I graduated High School I wasn’t sure what to study so after a semester in University I decided to drop out and join the Navy as a diver. I served in Guam for three years conducting underwater repairs on submarines and got to travel to many different countries. Now I am still serving but I’m located in Virginia and am excited to go back to my studies and prepare myself for the next chapter of my life.
