Sebastian Fernando Alamo Martinez, was born in Caracas, Venezuela. He is the youngest of four siblings. He has lived in America since 2018 and moved to Utah in 2020. He has always been a mature boy for his age—he loves to read about history, science, and the culture of other countries. He is interested in geography and paleontology.

Since he was little he has had respect and reverence for G-d. Since he has been in religious school, and thanks to his participation in the different activities of the synagogue, he has read and investigated the origin of Judaism, and at the moment he is more interested in learning about Israel as a country. The tradition of cooking runs through his veins. He prepares excellent pizzas, arepas, breads, and cakes at home. His favorite sport is basketball and currently he is on his school's basketball team. His dream to play basketball in the NBA.

He likes outdoor walks where he can have contact with nature and wildlife. Because of his love for animals, he began volunteering at The Humane Society of Utah in Murray. As for pets, he has a Leopard Gecko (Megan), a Cockatoo (Catalina) and a Labrador Retriever (Nala).

Sebastian would like to thank his parents, William and Wendy, and Rabbi Sam, Cantor Sharon, and David Asman for all their help and support in preparing him for his Bar Mitzvah.
