My best friend who had been with me since daycare always lived close or down the street, but at the start of high school, she moved to Colorado. It was really sad that both of us didn't get to start high school together in the same state.

With all the changes going on in my life, this new beginning of high school was very enlightening. It was the start of a new chapter in my life; new friends; new setting; new rules. A lot of things different from middle school and a lot more freedom.

Around the end of sophomore year, my relationship with my parents struggled a lot and I wasn't always telling them the truth. One weekend, my parents caught on and they found out about my dishonesty. Although it was a difficult time for me and them, I learned a lot from it.

I just wanted to try something out and it turned out to be one of my favorite things in high school. I got a primary role and led my own group through hip hop, lyrical, and African dances. I had an amazing time and made so many new relationships.

Multiple Family Members Passing Away- June to September 2017

# data[].attributes.body
Within the span of four months, I lost my aunt, my great-grandma, and my grandpa. It was one of those times where you can't even process what was happening because it felt like it would never end and that it was too terrible to be true.

Choosing to do my Magnificat Project based on a club I'd been in since freshman year was due to an inspiration from my family passing away. I didn't want to spend the next year angry and upset, but instead find something to bring me joy and a whole community joy as well. I wanted to look forward to a positive new journey.

By now, things feel a little better, however, I am so anxious waiting on college apps. I am so nervous to find out if I get into my top college choices and just can't wait to enjoy these last few months of high school. I am so excited and can't wait to embark on the new year.

I didn't think I would have as much fun as I did. It was an eye-opening experience and I couldn't have asked for a better group. I learned so much about these kids and about myself. I also got to make so many new relationships with the other leaders and with the teachers there.

Today is my wedding day and let me tell you, it's everything I could dream of. My fiancee have been together for three years and it does feel like true love. We have both graduated college and gotten our careers started. We have established our boundaries and we know who we are as individuals and as a unit.

My first child has been born and he is a blessing. My husband and I could not be any happier and having our little boy brought into this world with so much love surrounding him makes my heart feel full. We love him with all our hearts and can't wait to embark on this future journey.
