Michael Florencia

Hi, I’m Michael Florencia  I was born  in  Guayaquil, Ecuador on May 18
1990.  I graduated High School in my country and now I’m going to high
school and learning English in USA.  One of my passions is playing the
guitar.  I’m a member of 2 bands.
My  goal is to learn English very well and attend college.  I would
like to become a sound engineer and own my own record label.  I had a
great experience this year at Radio Rootz and hope to continue with
them for many years.

I was born in the year 1990 in Ecuador.  Living in Ecuador was fun.  I
had a lot of friends and family, but I decided to move the United
States 2007.  Here, I live with my aunts and older brother.  I
currently attend Manhattan Compressive High School.  One of the things
I enjoyed most this school year was participating in Radio Rootz, where
I got the chance to interview people about different topics.  I also
got to go to different events like the Grassroots Media conference and
meet a lot of people. My future plans are to be an English teacher.

I’m Wilmer Aucancela.  I was born in Ecuador.  I moved to New York in
2007 to continue my studies.  My life completely changed when I moved
here.  Back home, education was just simply education. Now, I
appreciate learning new things. I   currently attend Manhattan
Comprehensive Night and Day High School.  This year, I took Radio Rootz
classes. I like Radio Rootz  because I get the chance to practice my
English and get to know myself a little more. I feel more important, as
a person in my new home New York City.
