SO have you been published/ You are now 51?? i am not sure.
As for your post, I am confused as to what this means... My first language is English because I came to America when I was seven. My first language is Spanish, but my second is English.

In your short biography you claim firstly that your first language is English, and then say your first language is Spanish, and second is English, and then you say you came to America for a better way of life at seven, I suggest you came because your parents, but well done Raul, blessings Roy

You have cleverly covered all the main events of your life in one simple paragraph. I recall reading your stories about working in your mom's garden. I also know your writing has improved tremendously over the past year. I wish you the very best in the contest.

A difficult challenge to complete an autobiography in this very succinct form. But you made it interesting with an emphasis on your dream of becoming a professional novelist. My only stumble is your reference to both English and Spanish being your first language and then your contradiction saying that English is your second language. Perhaps you need to say: I quickly learned English when I came to America aged seven?
Good luck in the contest! Debbie

Nicely written. Congratulations on your citizenship.
My first language is English because I came to America when I was seven. My first language is Spanish, - oops. Did you mean your first language is 'not' English?
Good luck in the contest.

I really enjoyed the snap shot into the extremely summarised version of your life!
The word count was very little to work with and you did a great job!
I will you all the best wishes for your writing and for your potential novel in 2025.
Well done and good luck!
Nicki

I have been learning Spanish recently and I'm having fun with the language. I have lived in Spain from time to time and I love the Spanish traditions, especially at Christmas when we eat grapes before the clock strikes midnight! Ha ha ha. I enjoyed learning about your life here, good luck with the contest, love Dolly x
