VERONICA RUIZ

VERONICA RUIZ, Mexico

Hello, my name is Veronica Ruiz I am 24 years old, I'm from Mexico. I have been studying singing since the age of 15 and from that moment I knew that singing was and is my salvation to withstand the adversities of our environment, singing and my family. We formed a band called SOULTIK 2 years ago with my school friends of music from rock to word with whom I have formed a musical and loving band. I thank you for your love. My dad Raul, my mom Aurora, my sister Montserrat and Alux (our beautiful puppy) know my sorrows, my joys and are the only ones who know how to mold my energy to succeed in any circumstances. We really love. I had obesity since I can remember and I've been in a diet of any kind, from many kind of doctors to the diet of the moon. Any diet has function to me. It is a difficult process because I have had to endure bullying, fatigue, sore knees and depressions due to my health condition. However love and desire to succeed have led me to not drag me down, and I have grown to accept me as I am and I believe that everything has a solution. Obesity is not easy, nor social, nor the individual, not diabetes, any disease is not easy to Carry. My dad is our emotional support, the tower of our family. He has been sick of diabetes for 23 years. Now he is sick and we have to support it for love and empathy, for thanks to all that he has taught us. I feel that love empathy can help us to fight, to be stronger and know that we are not alone
