Well, first of all. My name is Maria Eugenia Briceno Papapietro AKA Mao ( since my name is so long and difficult to pronounce). I am half Venezuelan and half Italian, born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela. My whole life used to revolve around dancing, since 3 years old I started dancing ballet, flamenco, jazz, tap dancing, and pretty much any type of dancing that my mom could sign me up for. I studied for 9 years in a catholic school and when I was 14 my parents decided to move out of the country and come to The United States. This experience was the most difficult situation i've been put it, coming to a whole new country, new culture and above all new people talking in a language that sounded like CHINESE to me!! Little by little I managed to learn the language and to socialize with this new culture. I decided t join the dance team in high school, and colorguard for marching band. This gave me the opportunity to meet amazing people and to have a great experience doing what I love the most, performing.
After hard work in high school I managed to receive an academic scholarship to FGCU full ride for 4 years. I'm majoring in Biology, planning to go to medical school and specialize to be an obstetrician, and deliver babies...
I hope this semester will be a successful one!!!!!
<3, Mao.
Here's a little bit about my Marching Band perfoming Thriller by Michael Jackson.
