Centennial Letter
taken by Hawk Platero
I was born in Grants, New Mexico on Jan 5, 1997 at Cibola General Hospital. In my short 15 years of life it has been a really good up to this point. I've had a really good life up to this point. I have a loving and caring family that has raised me to be a good kid. I hope because them I will succeed in going to the Air force. I've lived in San Rafael my whole life which is about 10 Miles from Grants. San Rafael is a small village 10 miles from Grants. It is very peaceful there. I remember my whole Childhood, from the time I learned to ride a bike, to learning to ride a dirt bike. My life is exciting up to this point. I do a lot of crazy things because I am a very exciting and out going person. I love to have fun.
Here in Grants I am very involved in sports. They keep me from doing bad stuff and harming myself. My favorite sport here is baseball, and I have some great coaches that push me to where I need to be. I play other sports like basketball, football, and wrestling. I think if I really put my mind to it I would I have the potential to get a scholarship for a sport that I'm really good at, like baseball.
My favorite place to be here in Grants is the Mountains. There is one place in particular that is my favorite and that is the Zunis. The Zunis is a great place to just get away from my troubles at home or at school for a weekend. It is very peaceful out there and it is a good place to just get out and think.
The culture here is very different and we have a large mix of it here. My culture is Hispanic. We have a good majority of Hispanics here in Grants. We also have different foods and religions here. Some foods we have here is Spanish, Chinese, American, etc. The major religions we have here is Catholic, Christian, Mormon, etc. My favorite to place to eat here is at Surf Shack. I like pizza but Surf Shacks is really good!
My favorite things to do here in Grants include activities like rock climbing, riding my dirt bike, and just having a good time. Anytime I’m with friends I have a great time because I got some crazy friends. When I ride my dirt bike its more of a time just for my self to have a good time and not have to worry about anything.
The community here can be very entertaining. If you stick around to long you might hate it! Some people here can be two-faced and can be very hard to trust. On the brighter side there is also a bunch of people you can trust no matter what. Grants can be a great place to meet new people, and just hang out. Over here in Grants we have pretty fun yearly celebrations; we have the Fire & Ice Bike Rally, parades, & firework shows. Grants is a place that if you have time you want to come visit. My opinion on this place? I love it but hate it, this place is my home.
