When I was in Junior High I took a dance class. It was my favorite class because I enjoyed dancing. In my free time I would play Just Dance and I liked getting better at it. Not only did I get better but I learned different types of dances and dance moves. I learned Hip Hop, Contemporary, Ballet, and much more.

Ever since Junior High I took an interest in art. Once I got into High School I took 2 years of art. It helped me learn new techniques and learned to draw from different perspectives and proportions.

In my freshman and sophomore year of High School I wanted to try something new. I tried out for the girls soccer team without knowing anything about it. I ran and learned the basics. Throughout the semester I improved drastically. Sadly it wasn't enough to make the team because I didn't have as much experience and knowledge like the other girls, but it helped me be healthier and to try new things.

I come from a Hispanic family, and when a young girl finally turns 15, it's a big step to being independent. My 15th was a surprise party. I always insisted on not having one, but as time grew closer to my 15th birthday I changed my mind. My parents told me they don't have the money to have a 15, so one of my cousins planned it all and told the rest of my family. Together they were able to plan everything by the time of my birthday. All in the span of 3 months. It was a good memory and gesture. I will never forget how much fun I had in my 15.

My freshman year of High School I met my soon to be boyfriend. He and I shared 3 classes together which were algebra, geography, and english. We became close friends and liked similar things. We ended up dating in sophomore year of High School on October 31. He changed my life and helped me love myself. We dated for 3 years. We are still friends to this day and I am glad to have met him.

Covid was a tough time for everyone. It was something new for most of us and we weren't prepared for these new changes. For me the most difficult thing was not going to school. The place where I can socialize. Being stuck at home alone really took a toll on my mental health. Not to mention it was hard to learn online. It was a hard change but something that helped me reflect on my life.

For my first homecoming I still had online school due to covid. My date still planned a day and made my first homecoming memorable. Prior to this he asked my parents permission if he could date me and take me out for homecoming. He made me a mum, he came to pick me up at my house with a bouquet of flowers, we took professional pictures together, we ate at P.F. Changs, and then dropped me off at my house. It was my first homecoming and date in my life.

After I took Art my first 2 years of High School I wanted to try something new. I took Ceramics which was an amazing experience. I was able to create figures and pottery that I could keep or give away. It was a class I really enjoyed and was also relaxing.

Graduating High School was a big accomplishment for me. My family didn't have the privilege to finish school so this was a big step for a better future for me and my family. After graduation I still kept in contact with a few friends and mostly concentrated on work. Since I didn't see my school friends as much I grew closer to my coworkers.

Starting college was such a nerve wrecking thing for me. I was afraid I wasn't going to fit in and be overloaded with work. I am overloaded with work, but that's why I keep a planner to simplify my work. Not only that but I met new people and made new friends. It's also nice reuniting with some of my old High School friends.

My artistic and friendly side keeps showing up in each slide. I loved showing my art through drawings and 3D models, not only that but also dancing from taking dance class and having my 15. I also noticed how in each event I made new friends or cared about making new friends.

I noticed that I try new things. I didn't know anything about dance, ceramics, and soccer. I knew from my own experiences but not professionally. All these helped me improve on my own knowledge and skill.

I will have to keep my sense of curiosity. It helps me try and experience new things. Without that how will I know if I like it or not. I also have to keep my positivity and sociable skills. It's good to make new friends to help each other out.
