My name is José Walter Myerchin. I was named after both of my grandfathers, José & Walter (who died when my dad was young), and my godfather, who is also José. I have a very strong pride in my Mexican heritage; my Slovakian side I know nothing about. I love my family and my 3 closest friends whom I consider family. I grew up playing sports. My focus was athletics, but I was always into the arts: drawing/painting, sculpting, acting, and music. If writing can be included then I would also say writing because language and literature were always my favorite classes that I excelled in. I’m kind hearted, strong minded, confident, and hard-working.
