Bio
Ariana was born in Barcalona,Spain to a young mother and father. At the age of 16 they moved her and her older brother,Jose Juan Rivera-Ortiz to America. She felt right at home seeing she was Puerto Rican,Spanish,and surprisingly Cherokee and moved to The Bronx. She stated to get a thicker Spanish accent and gained a love of sports. She started doing all types of sport seeing maybe she could get a real career out of them. At the age of 17 she was a natonally ranked gymnast but also started to change her mind about all the sports. She started to drop all the sports but gymnastics and started to write music ,sing,and dance. Yea,her dad wasn't really happy about that but she didn't care. She took up ballet and mergengie dancing wanting to stay close to her roots. Singing and such just came to her. But, her education always came first knowing since her parents couldn't aford it that she would needed to get a scholarship. Which is exactly what she did.
In 7th grade she started having feelings for her best gal friend,Esperanza who just like her was very religous. At the time she didn't know what to think or who exactly to tell, she knew that she couldn't tell her parents because she was afraid the only person she could tell was her brother. The number one thing she was afraid of was that the father, son, and the holy spirt would be disapponted in her. Her brother told her at the end of the say that she still was who she was and that their parents would love them no matter what. Once she told her parents after abut a few weeks, of course they were shocked and wanted to deny it but at the end of the day they were there for. She never did tell Esperanza how she felt though....
When she was in High School she found her love of being on stage. She loved it and it was the one thing she was passionate about other than her studies. She started to join plays, musicals, dance competions, you name it to get her name out there for the would. She ever started to sing in the subway terminals near her apartment buliding with nothing but her brother's old guitar that she "borrowed" from him, and her singing voice. Still her moment of fame didn't come but, she kept tring with the help of her family and...well, Youtube. But, she started to see at the age of 16 that her dream may not come true so she started to put her soul into become a broadway star and her dream s to play Maria in West Side Story.
When she was in High School at the age of 17 her brother was killed in a drive by shotting in their rather unsafe neighborhood because of some money he owned their own cousin. She started to think what was the point, the odds are she would end up just like her brother . And for three months that's how she thought about school. But, after a while her mother and father told her that she was inteligent and that she could do anything because unlike her brother, she didn't do all the bad stuff he did. They were right....as always, she graduated top of her class with a 4.2 GPA. Ariana enrolled in Fulton because it was one of the best schools that decided to give her a scholarship. When she was a freshmen she rushed and wanted to get into either Alpha or Theta. But, the more she thought, she decided that Theta was the best choice because they were about sisterhood, something she never had.
