Reuben Bennevendo

I’m from East downtown Houston, Tx, a barrio called Second Ward. I graduated from Lamar High School. I’m the youngest of five siblings: two sisters, and three brothers. Along with my parents, they greatly influenced my work ethic. I decided at a young age that I wanted to be a professional baseball player. Since then, my goals haven’t deciphered, but have broadened into being successful no matter what I do. I continue to play baseball, and as I do that, I will reach for the highest possibility I can, which is becoming a Major League Baseball player. As I chase that goal, I must work hard in the class room.
