Yoo, what’s up everyone!!
My name is Sean Michael Rivas. I’m going to Constanza, DR on August 11th, 2025. I’m a rising senior and currently attending Central Park East High School. I am Puerto Rican and Dominican. This will be the first time I’ve ever visited my homeland, the DR.
I am the youngest of three boys to a single mother, and therefore, I have learned the skill of negotiation. If I notice something that doesn’t sit right with me, I tend to speak my mind and try to find a solution or a positive way to approach it.
I enjoy talking and meeting new people. I consider myself to be a bit extroverted, outgoing, and always positive. No matter where you guys see me on this trip, I can guarantee you I’m always smiling, as that’s one feature everyone tells me they notice about me!
I hope to make nice and long-lasting friendships with every one of you!
(This is me, by the way, so not too much!)
Best,
Sean Michael Rivas
