Me llamo Raúl Contreras Mella. Soy de Valdivia, Chile, pero nací en el hospital de Valparaíso, Chile y crecí en Greenville, Carolina del Sur. Mi papá trabaja en una compañía que hace piezas para BMW, por eso vinimos aquí cuando yo tenía seis años. Ahora tengo trece años y mi cumpleaños es el doce de mayo. Soy alto y delgado (o flaco). Mi cabello es corto y negro y mis ojos son de color verde. A veces hablo mucho con mis amigos, pero con personas nuevas soy un poco tímido. No hablo mucho español ahora. Todos mis amigos hablan inglés. Hablo inglés con mi hermano, pero prefiero hablar español con mi papá.
En la escuela me gusta dibujar y escribir, pero prefiero jugar videojuegos con mis amigos. Por la tarde me gusta jugar al fútbol en la cancha cerca de mi casa. También me gusta levantar pesas en el gimnasio de la escuela porque quiero ser más fuerte. No me gusta ir de compras porque es aburrido. Casi nunca voy a la playa porque está lejos. Pero me gusta explorar la ciudad en bicicleta y de vez en cuando me gusta nadar en el lago.
