this memory was in EL Salvador. there was more but this place is called ichanmichen. this place is a waterpark with natural spring waters and ponds. and i would go there when i was little to go and swim. this place is over 52 years old. I remeber my mom telling me she and her mom would go there to wash there clothes in a water fall they have. Till this day, this place exists and its super huge and you find so many spring water and it looks like if your in a jungle.

this memory at my church. we studied for a month or so, and we would practice verses and questions. so, this was when it was a tie with a another girl, and I was asked a question and I got it right. we needed to practice about 20 verses and 100 questions which was a lot for only a month to study. at the end, i got 3rd place. i was happy because it was my 2nd time participating and I got 3rd place with 100 dollars. this year, I participating again but tis going way harder where we need to read about 10 chapters and then they are going to ask questions to us like freestyle without practicing the question. which I think its going to be harder.

this memory might look disgusting but, to me it was fun. this was when i got an anatomy class and we got to dissect so many animals. this was by far my favorite one we did. we dissected a fetus pig. it was cool because we learned that its one of the most closets animals to have the same body parts as us. we where able to see the skin layers, inside of the guts, and even inside of the heart! but also, what fascinated me, was that we opened the brain. it was so cool. it looked like noodles that where all together mashed.

this memory was at my sister's houses. this one means a lot to me because it was the first time seeing all my siblings together for the first time. we flew from California to Texas and we spent thanksgiving all together. we all haven't been together since i was born! it was super fun because I saw my cousins, nieces, nephews, aunts and so much family. i had a great time spending time with after almost 14 years since i've seen them all together. we did miss one of my brothers which lives here in California. but, he lives far so we couldn't plan a trip so we all could've officially been together.

this memory was at the observatory in Hollywood. this memory means quite a lot to me because the girl on the right, is my cousin I haven't seen since 9 years. me and her used to live in the same house years ago in El Salvador. we sadly then moved and her and her siblings moved to Spain. which then i wasn't able to see them. recently, she came to visit us. and we took her to so many famous spots this was a moment where we went to the observatory and it felt like we were we where in a movie. there was a beautiful lighting, cool and interesting ancient artifacts, and the Tesla Coil! it meant a lot to me that she came because me and her where raised as sister even though our age difference.
