  • My Sister's Birth

    My Sister's Birth

    My sister was born on March 26, 2007. At first, I was happy with the idea of having a younger sister. but Once I meet her I changed my mind. I was around four when I became a big sister. My sister Cindy was very cute as a baby. the first day she came home I spent the whole day playing with her (i might have annoyed her a little) but would also get annoyed when she would start crying because she was hungry. My parents were very happy and grateful to have another healthy baby girl.

    My first day of kindergarten

    My first day of kindergarten was scary and exciting at the same time. I don't remember much but, I know I was scared because it was something new to me and also I only spoke little English and was scared no one would understand me. But as I got to my homeroom I saw that I wasn't the only one. I made many new friends on my first day of school. Many of which I'm still friends with. I remember always being excited about going outside and playing with my new friends. kindergarten was fun.

    Traveling to Guatemala by myself

    Going to Guatemala was scary because it was my first time traveling and I was doing it all alone. I was around 8 when I went. Once I got to Guatemala I was excited because I was going to meet my cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. I remember all of them being there waiting for me to get out and meet me. It was such a nice experience because I got to explore the cities from which my parents came from. But after a month of being there, I missed home and came back to my parents and sister.

    Tikal, Guatemala

    going to Tikal was a nice trip. Being able to see the Mayan temples and villages and also going on the jungle side and see all the animals. I was able to Climb up one of the temples it a bit difficult because the stairs are short and steep. but once your at the top you see the incredible view. But also have to be careful because you can easily fall off. During my trip, my cousins and I got lost in the jungle but found our way out eventually. this was the best day of my trip to Guatemala.

    Towards the end of my 5th grade school year. My Best Friend Eveyln would be moving 228.8 miles away. Evelyn had been my best friend since Kindergarten and we would play each day together since we were neighbors. On her last day here in NY, I helped her pack her things. I was sad that she would be moving away and we wouldn't be able to see each other anymore. I waved good-bye as her mom's car drove away. It was more difficult for me also because on that same day my dad was having surgery.

  • My Quinceñera

    My Quinceñera

    My Quince (15) was one of the best days of my life. Getting to be around my family and friends the whole day and knowing they were all there for me. It was a memorable day. My favorite part of the whole day was the father-daughter dance and also my last doll dance. This was a symbol of my going from a little girl to a young woman. The doll would be the last doll I got as a girl. I will never forget this day. Having my friends and family on this special day was very important to me.
