I woke up at 5 am to my dad telling us to get ready because we were going to Big Bear Lake and I was so excited I was already at the car in less than 10 minutes. My mom packed hot chocolate and blankets in case if we got cold. It was around 6 am when we left the house and I was so sleepy so I took a nap. When I woke up we were pulling up to the parking lot and I loved what I saw. As I got out of the car I began my day by strolling around Big Bear Lake, where the frozen water glistens under the soft morning light. Snow-dusted pine trees line the lake’s shore, their branches heavy with fresh snow. The mountain town is peaceful, with only a few locals out early. I admired the architecture of the shops and cabins. The streets are lined with colorful lights, still up from the holiday season. As I was taking pictures my parents called me because we were going to my uncle's house to visit them since we didn't visit them for Christmas or New Year's.

On January 23rd my best friend called me to say that I was invited to her quince but only that she wanted me to be part of her court at her quince. So we spent two months practicing every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. We learned several dances and we went dress shopping and we even went to Holly Suites to get our suit which were so amazing I love the colors. Then we went to the venue a week before to practice the dances and how the quince is going to be. Then three days before the quince we had to film a court video for my best friend's quince basically we went to Laguna Beach to film the video it took about all day then we waited two days for the video to be edited because we were on a time crunch and the video turned to be so cool. Then the day came and I woke up at 6 am to get ready and then we met at my best friend's house and from there a limo came to pick us up and we went to a park where we took pictures and did some Tiktok dances while we were waiting to the limo to pick us up when we finished it was 12pm and we were all hungry and thirsty. So we went to In n out where we all got hamburgers and then we went to Starbucks where I got a venti vanilla bean. Then we went straight to the venue where we celebrated her quince and I had a great time. We danced and we ate a lot since she had a buffet for her quince I loved being part of her court and I loved being with my friends and we all had a wonderful time.

It was April 21st and I got an email from the librarian of my junior high she said that there was space on the list for me to go and she was wondering if I wanted to go to Yallwest. The event is a book fair but also a meet and greet for your favorite authors. Not only that you get to go to panels and keynotes where you learn how to be an author or how to make a book but also you get to hear all the stories about the author and you get to personally meet them and have a chat. Plus you get to buy their books and the best part of all there is the food you get to enjoy at the food trucks. So back to the story I told her I wanted to go so she signed me up and then on May 4 I woke up at 6 am to get ready to go to Brookhurst Junior High which is where I went to middle school. then I got in the car at 6:47 am and drove to school I got there at 7:05 am and I was just in time for the attendance because the bus was ready to leave at 7:15 am. We took attendance and we got into pairs being a Freshman I went with a friend her name was Chelsea. She is my friend from middle school and we both went to Yallwest 2 years in a row and now we are going for the 3rd time. When we got to the event which was at Santa Monica High School. We first went to visit the authors first and there was a huge line we waited for bout 2 hours in total which was not that bad because we just went on our phones while we were waiting and then we went to a panel about Becoming an author and it was about how to become an author and then we went to the huge book store where they had all kinds of books and they were on sale which made this experience better. Then we went to get food because it was around 1 pm because we spent a lot of time at the bookstore. For food, we got chicken tenders and fries. Then we waited in line for boba and icecream from there we went to a keynote that the authors had and I got to go up on stage with them and my friend was cheering me from the 2nd floor of the huge theatre it lasted for 1 hour. Then we went to get more boba and then we went to the gift shop and I got some stickers and a flag of Yallwest.

At the end of the concert I took a photo with Genesis Campos and she was so nice and even gave us shirts and hats. I had such a great time it was such a nice surprise and I truly loved it.

My friends invited me to go to the Angels game on Monday the 23rd. I asked my parents if I could go and my parents told I could go if all my homework was finished and my friends said they would pick me up and bring me back to my house. Then I showed my parents that i had no homework left and then they said have fun and they gave me $80 to spend over there they looked at my grades and they were happy and they said they were proud of me. At 5 pm my friends came to pick me up and then we drove off and then we got to the entrance and then we went to sit on our seats which was section 203 row G and seats 7,8, and 9. Then we talked and saw the game and we all had a great time after the game we went to the gift shop and we bought keychains. after that we left and got in the car they dropped me off. That night I posted about it and I just fell asleep after that.
