Valeria Jimenez

Valeria Jimenez Catalan was born on November 29, 2011, five days after Thanksgiving that year. She was born with leukocytosis, a blood condition where you have a higher amount of white blood cells than normal, which thankfully she’s now cured. Valeria is the youngest of two. She lives with her mom, dad, and older brother, including three dogs. Growing up in a household where she was always told to “Do good enough to succeed,” always made her try her hardest. She has a passion for writing stories and even won an award in the 6th grade. She also has a hobby of face painting: painting her face in whatever type of style or design she wants. Valeria always values people who are kind, humorous, and honest since she believes those people are great to be friends with.
