Early Life
Sebastian Mendez was born in Miami Children's Hospital in Coral Gables, Fl, which is located in the Miami Metropolitan area, on August 4th 1996. His father was Carlos Mendez and his mother was Adriana Mendez who are both from Montevideo, Uruguay. The Mendez family has been prominent for its the amount of entrepreneurs that the family produces. Learning both English and Spanish at a young age it allowed him to have a step into the future. He first went to school at Rivera Day School which is on the border of South Miami and Coral Gables. It was a nice school and gave him an insight into higher learning. This was when he enrolled in the gifted program in the school. He would go through Pre-k to the 2nd grade in this school. This was ended due to the closing of the bank that his father worked at. A scandal happened that forced even those who had nothing responsible to go to jail including his father. Carlos Mendez was initially given a nine year conviction but it was reduced to two and a half years after cooperation. This was keep a secret from Sebastian until half way through the sixth grade where Sebastian Mendez was forced to be told because his father pleaded guilty for lower years. In between those years Sebastian attended the gifted program at a public school called Coral Gables Elementary. He graduated there by the end of the 5th grade. He then was accepted and went to G.W. Carver Middle School in Coconut Grove. In this school is where Sebastian began learning German due to the language magnet the school has. He found it rather difficult but took the challenge. It was a secret love to learn everything and anything on Germany as he took it as a fantasy and an escape from not having his father around. His father was not there for the rest of his middle school years and it took a particularly hard toll on him. Sebastian found middle school as a lost world and staid in a rather state of shame and sadness. He also at that time did not have the greatest relation with his mother. Sebastian struggled with it while mourning his father. Eventually he improved his relations with his mother and made a situation that more or less was not working to a far stronger relationship.

High School
He was then accepted into Coral Reef Middle School for his 9th grade.
