Marcos Valdez

Marcos Valdez is a senior at Hollywood Hills High School. Valdez was born and raised in Hollywood, Florida. Although for most of his life he hasn’t done a whole lot of moving around, he does like to go on trips and explore the world when he is able to. In fact, one country that he was given the opportunity to visit is Spain.

“It’s beautiful,” he said. “I definitely wouldn’t mind going again.”

Valdez lives at home with his mother and three brothers – all separate in age, but close in height. Valdez is the tallest of the four of them.  His family is one of the most important part of his life.

“Love my family and wouldn’t trade them for anything else in the world,” he said.

As his high school years come to a close, he is growing a balanced amount of excitement and nerves for his future. Although he cant wait to see what his life has to offer, he is also afraid of growing up too fast and missing out on cherished moments.
