I’m Yamel Favela. I could be like everyone else, and list everything I love in this biography, but what does that actually say about me? Next to nothing. I’ll try to tell you what I think of myself. That may tell you far more. I appear to have an ego. Just sometimes, but I don’t. It’s just a front. In my mind, I am no better than anyone else. In many ways, I think I am far worse. I’m just afraid to admit it. Does that make me weak?
Yamel at Times Square, May 2013
I’m indecisive, when it comes to big and small things. I don’t know at this point what I want to do. But as of right now, I am a Spanish major at Macaulay Honors College.
I was born in Juarez, Mexico, but have lived most of my life in Denver, Colorado. So in other words, I’m new to the city and I love it. It can be somewhat irrational at times, but I try to be rational. I hate to be wrong. It leads me to argue when I shouldn’t. Maybe I hate it because I feel like being right is the only thing I have. The one thing I am absolutely certain about when it comes to myself is that I am smart. When that is challenged, I defend it. You would too, I think.
