-- Originally published Feb 27, 1999 -- My name is Martin. Im from Mexico,I like the United States for all the combinations of the different cultures.

I like to learn more about these cultures, the people and all the traditions. My favorite hobby is learning English, working on the computer and playing soccer with my frends.

We are in the Hispanic league with 31 more teams. I hope will be in the top 5 to 10 teams.

I have a little child four years old and he loves all the sports the same as I do. I will try to keep out the drugs and guns when he grows up.

My dream is look at him as a professional with a better life than mine.
