When I first moved here in 2015 the one thing that bummed me out was the fact that I would be leaving my best friends who I've known my whole childhood. But now looking back on in i'm extremely glad that we made the moved from Fresno to Hayward because without that I would't have met these 4 amazing people who i'm glad to call my friends. They bring so much light into my world and even though at times we might not talk much, they'll always have a special place in my heart. I've been friends with these 4 amazing people for years and i'm glad we all got to see each other transform into the person we are today.

Although my original plan was to get a dog, i'm extremely glad that I wound up being a proud cat mom of two. When I first got Cheeto on February 7th, 2018 I instantly fell in love with his shy and kind nature; and little did i know 5 months later that on July 28th, 2018 that i'd be adding another edition to the family named Maya. Cheeto and Maya made me realize how lonely i was before and now I cant imagine my life without them. They taught me how to be responsible, patient, how to enjoy the little things in life, and most importantly, they taught me how to love. I don't think I could ever repay them for the amount of joy they've brought into my life but I sure try to make everyday as amazing as possible for them.

When I first learned about Girls Who Code, I almost let my anxiety get the best of me and not apply. Yet there was something in me that kept telling me to forget about my worries and join. And now looking back at it i'm extremely glad I did because the time i spent there ended up being the best 7 weeks of my life. I got to learn new things and make new friends from all over the Bay Area and I created some of the best memories of my teenage years within those walls of the Workday building. Those girls became like sisters to me and i'll never forget about the amount of love and positivity that i was surrounded by for 35 hours a week.

I've never really been much of a creative person growing up, and when i first heard about CMMA although I liked the program, I was hesitant to join because I felt as if I wouldn't be able to create anything that i would be proud. But i decided to take a chance and i'm extremely glad I did because little did i know how much CMMA would influence my life. Through CMMA i've been able to learn so much about media like photoshop, coding, video production, and editing which has opened so many opportunities into my life that i'll be forever grateful for. Above are some of the projects I created this summer for an internship I had, and although it might not look like much, they took a long time to make and i'm extremely proud of how they came out.

I think like everyone else all i want in life is to be happy. And although some people might have already figured out what it will take for them to get there, such as graduating, getting a good job, or starting a family; I don't know what will make me happy. Ever since I was little I've always have certain goals I wanted to accomplish, but as I got older i realized that focusing on those goals only brought me unhappiness and anxiety, even after I accomplished them. And although I want to accomplish the basic goals just as everyone else, I dont want to give myself expectations for what i think will make me happy. I want to live in the moment and just live my life the best i can, regardless of what that may look like. I don't need to live in a humongous house, or have an enormous amount of money, or drive the coolest car. In the end, I just want myself and everyone around me to know that throughout my whole life... I was happy.
