Student Biography: My name is Blanca Gissel Santos Perdomo and I am a senior at Santa Maria Hight School. I live in Santa Maria California With my Mom (Paola Gissel Perdomo), and with my brother (Yeremi Samuel Santos Perdomo). What inspired me to draw my Loteria card was Honduras, my home country. I have live in Honduras all my life and one of the a lot of thing I love from my country is the food especially the Baliada. The baliada is a really simple food but very delicious. What I like about the artist process was that I was remembering all the beauty of my country, the beaches, the people, the variety of races, the joy of the people in my country, the kindness, our national dance "punta", our food, our tourist places such as "The Ruins of Copan", "Pulhapanzak Waterfall", "Roatan Island", "Cayos Cochinos Island", "The Lancetilla Botanical Garden" and many more, his phrases, the innocence of the little ones, in short, I simply love my country and I will never stop talking about it.
