Doesn't seem that important but transitioning to public school in second grade was a huge culture shock to me, I went from wearing uniforms to wearing what ever I want. Went from having friends' I've known all my life to knowing no one. It was a huge growing opportunity for me.

This is easily one of the best things to have ever happened to me. I met all my childhood best friend's and it would have never happened if we didn't buy a cottage up in NY. I am still super close with my friend's and I'm so grateful and blessed that I got to meet them.

This was also a huge culture shock for me. It was just my dad and I (parents weren't divorced btw) and like I was a Texan girl, I experienced the harsh winters and even got seasonal depression, yuck!!!

My mom worked for United Airlines, she got sent to train the employees in Russia and she brought my Dad & I with her. For a fourth grader it was a huge culture shock. Now I look back and wish I appreciated it more.

I got to see all my friends again!! This was honestly one of the best years of my existence, it was my dad and I living our best lives. Life was truly simple then, I went to MMA practice and then on Friday's my friend's and I would go rollerskating.

So I went back to Texas after being in New York. My best friend Tiffany since second grade was so excited to have me back. We befriended a girl named Rose and we were the three musketeers. The next two years were no different than the year before, I feel like middle school is just a huge transition period and everything is just the same.

My freshman year was the worst, lot's of trauma and lost all my friend's and even myself. Sophomore year was no better. Junior and Senior year were amazing though.

This is a super big milestone in a hispanic girl's life. I had a court full of my closest friends'. My one friend and I choreographed the entire dance. It was a great turnout everyone had fun and memories were made.

I started getting into crystals and easily one of the best decisions I have ever made. They're from the Earth and help heal and balance us.

Due to a Global Pandemic Senior year ended 3 months early, it was for the best but my mind still wanders to the What if's

Not that big of a transition because I am so used to remote learning by now but it's still such a huge milestone in my life...

A common reoccurring theme is school. Whether it was starting school in a new state or moving up to Middle/High school; school was always a reoccurring theme.

I would say my personal strength throughout this timeline is definitely  adapting. I was thrown into foreign territory many times but I learned to adapt but nevertheless I was able to prevail.

I moved around quite a bit and I think I will definetly take those experiences with me in the next chapters in my life. When I get a job and if I get transferred to another state I will gladly take the bull by the horns and transfer because it wouldn't be the first time I've been. in unknown territory.
