I love hibiscus flowers because this one time when me and my grandma went walking around the neighborhood, we found a white hibiscus flower. It was so pretty so we had to take it home and keep it. It continued to stay pretty everyday and we would water the hibiscus flower everyday. This is my favorite moment with my grandma.

Jhene Aiko is an artist. She makes me feel healed and so motivated. I love all of her songs especially "W.A.Y.S" because that song is soothing. I went to one of her concerts recently and it was one of the best moments of 2024. I went with 2 of my cousins and we had so much fun. There were other artists there also and they performed before Jhene Aiko. If I had the chance to go to her concert again, I would most definitely go!

July fourth

Fireworks are the BEST!! I get to spend time with my family and it's very important to be that I am able to spend time with them because some people aren't able to get that with their family. Fireworks are so beautiful to look at. I was also able to spend time with my boyfriend's family. My favorite part about July 4th will definitely be family time.

This is a Hmong jewelry. It is called "xauv" meaning a necklace. There are many designs and each one is unique. I am a Hmong dancer so I do wear this a lot when I perform at events. I love my Hmong culture and I think it's important to wear something that represents my culture. I love Hmong jewelry because its shiny in person and it apart of my culture.

This is makeup. I love makeup. I started learning how to do my own makeup when I was in middle school. I wanted to feel pretty and I felt like I always saw my aunties and my mom do their makeup so I wanted to do makeup too. It took a while but I think now that i'm older, I know how to use makeup. This is important because learning makeup was hard since I taught myself.

I love planning and journaling because it makes me feel organized in many ways. I also like writing unless it comes to writing notes. I like to write for fun and draw. I would like to become a planner in the future. It is valuable to me because some people aren't as organized so I wouldn't want to be like that.

Physics isn't important to me but I would say that it did change me to have a better mindset this school year. I failed Physics sophomore year so I am definitely not going to summer school again. It changed me for the better and I am now wanting to accomplish more in the future.

I started Hmong dancing in 2022. Ever since, I fell in love with it. I became co-captain last year which was 2023. I have been meeting new people, exploring new places, and creating a bigger sisterhood. If it wasn't for my mom then I wouldn't be dancing right now because she did encourage me to Hmong dance to learn more about my culture and represent my culture. I love everything about my culture. The food is the best part because it is unique and yummy. There are many different techniques of Hmong dancing and it has been very competitive these past few years.

These past months, I realized that drawing is one of my favorite hobbies because it brings me peace. I love drawing and putting rhinestones on my drawings. It does take time but it is worth the color at the end. Seeing colors makes me happy.

This one time when me and my friend went to the world's worst expo, we went to look around and there were plenty of clothes and vintage things. It was a very hot day and we both had a photo shoot that day. We walked to Starbucks and we went to this bakery. I tried creme brulee for the first time and it was very good. I would eat again. We also got to try this sushi nacho mixed together. It very good too. The food was unforgettable. It was a fun day.
