Mi Camino de La Vida: Mariela Torres

  • Day of Birth

    Day of Birth

    I entered this world approximately around 4:18pm in Chicago, IL. I chose this date because it is the exact date I was born and decided to roam the earth 'till this very day.
  • Period: to

    8/9 year streak of vacation

    Every winter, my family and I would go to Mexico to go visit our family members and have a relaxed vacation as well. We broke that streak this year due to Covid and it's disappointing but I hope we regain our streak back once Covid is gone.
  • Graduated 8th grade

    Graduated 8th grade

    I was extremelt excited to graduate from Garvy due to how boring the school was for the past 9 years of my life. I chose it because I was proud that I was able to deal with it for that long.
  • Got my first phone

    Got my first phone

    Everyone else had a phone by 6th grade already and I was the only one with an iPod touch from 6th grade to 8th grade. It was embarrassing but I finally got one and treated it like my own child.
  • My Quinceañera

    My Quinceañera

    I find this date to be extremely important to me because it was my special day to show that I have become a mature woman and ready to enter the world of womanhood. I will never forget this day and I honestly wish I could relive it because it was so magical for me.
  • I adopted my first puppy

    I adopted my first puppy

    This might sound cliche, but ever since I laid my eyes on this dog, I knew he was going to be my best friend. His name is Juanpalomino but we changed it to Juanito because it was easier and sounded more like him. I love him to death.
  • I drove for the first time!

    I drove for the first time!

    This is important because I got to have a snippet of what freedom feels like. I don't know the exact date but I know it was near the winter/spring time.
  • Period: to

    Covid-19

    This was the day we started going on quarantine. This is important because this will go down in history and we will eventually be in the history books there are now.
