6.1b: My Birth Order
There is only three children in the Diaz's household: Briella, the older sister, me, then Isabelle, my younger sister, I'm the middle child. But oddly enough, I dont fit the characteristics of a middle child. A middle child usually has a large group of friends, thrives on friendship, or is rebellious, im not any of that. But I dont like being told what to do, the middle child usually is more independent. -

I remember when my grandma died. It was around 2-3 years ago, she was visiting her sister that was on her sickbed, possibly dying as she is over 90.

Same thing happened with my friend that died the same year... -

1.1 -The Present
Hey, my name is Julio but call me tres. I want to be a teacher in the future, I think that is because of my cognitive processing's influences. I grew up with most of my family members being teachers. It also made changes in my socioemotional processes since I grew up to teaching and always found myself teaching others. -
3.1 My Health
The most major health issue I ever had would be bronchitis, I got it when I was twelve. The health issue lasted around a month and I had to miss football practice. Due to the bronchitis, I couldn't exercise I had to take medications. I never had a disease or anything of the sort. -

2.1 Fertility
I and my wife are trying to have a baby. We both are in our late twenties: 26, 29.

But we were disappointed that we wouldn't get our dominant deaf gene, although I wouldn't be able to get my recessive blue eyes. -
6.3b: My Death
In 90 years from now, at my funeral, either an open or closed casket ceremony doesnt matter to me. They can pay their respects to me whatever way they want to, but it would be nice if I could have the ceremony outside. But then when I get buried, I want to get buried in my backyard or a forest when my wife or children plant an oak or some kind of formidable tree seed in me. That way the tree will have part of me in it, I always wanted that.
