My name is Melvin Rivera and I am from Puerto Rico. I was born in Puerto Rico. When I turned 6 years old, I moved to the United States of America. I live with my mom, two sisters, and my grandparents from my mother's side. I am currently a high school student.

I am tri-lingual; I know English, Spanish, and French. I am learning Japanese now. It is REALLY HARD.

I just love EVERYTHING Japanese. The culture, the food, the language, the respect. It's all just amazing.

I like studying Japanese. I love the beach. I like swimming, baseball, and ping pong.

I hope I make lots of Japanese friends!
