Last day as a Teenager...

Today is my last day as a teenager. My teenage years were confusing, amazing, hilarious, depressing, had ups and downs. I began my teenage years in Mexico. As a thirteen year old I tried my first 3 leches cake, Ferrero Rocher Chocolates, fell in love at first sight hehe but later found out it really wasn't, had my eyebrows plucked for the first time. I had a blast. Then returning to the U.S. with my new short hair cut, I was began Junior High. What a great time. I played basketball soccer and softball!




My freshmen year was really confusing. My best friend Vicky moved to Parma. I was on the Varsity Soccer Team but I didn't actually get to play. I was part of the Marching Band!! I was the Treasurer of the Freshmen Class, yay for Jeeves Day when I sold to Miss Carlie Wendlesdorf for only $3. But we raised a lot more than we had expected for a family who we sponsered for Christmas. The first semester I was friends with Lucas and Karen, who were great!! Then Second Semester I was moved to 2nd Lunch and fortunate to have Colleen Lyman in my class who invited me to sit by her at lunch with the group of friends I stuck with throughout high school.




So yes, this is how my teenage years started. And they continued and brought much more great memories...

Yes, this is part of my journey. I can't remember everything I did. But I know I had a great time. I've learned some valuable lessons.




#1 Do not Doubt the existence of God




#2 Accept the Love others give you




#3 Be yourself, even if that means loving too deeply, holding on for too long, being addicted to massages, smiling too often... IF someone doesn't like it too bad for them it is their lost




#4 Accept others as they are. If someone does not like your hugs don't try to give one to them...




#5 Be Happy!!Go Crazy, let loose, have fun, enjoy yourself and others




#6 Don't take your days for granted, for any day can be your last




#7 Thank those who have helped me on your Journey MOM!! I love you!!




#8 Do not settle, in relationships, careers, classes, personal goals, or anything.




#9 Find what you love and do it!!




#10 No matter what at the end of the day, you are the only one who can put a smile on your face!! (For it is your brain that tells your lips to excercise, I'm such a DORK and I love it)









I love everyone!! I'm excited to be a "young adult" and a little sad I won't be a teenager but guess what there is so much more to come...




I get to Vote in my first Presidential Election, Rock it!! OBAMA Repn Hawaii!!




I get to visit my family in Texas, Brownsville here I come...




Chardin 2, this will be your new RA. I am so excited!

And if for some reason, I do not have more time I want everyone to know that I loved the time I was given. IT was great!!I had fun!




Thanks Y'all!!









Good night!
