I returned to the San Juan Islands to visit throughout my teen years when the time and resources made it possible. I went to Orcas and Lopez Island several times before moving to Lopez permanently at eighteen. I met my husband shortly after moving there and I would find myself established in that relationship for many years to come. My relationship with my husband, and life on Lopez would prove to be an important life event. During this time, I learned the meaning of hard work, what security feels like within a relationship, in addition to, forming meaningful bonds with people I care…

It was a vacation tip my parents where planning for about two or three months. I would just hear them talk about how the weather was going to be nice, see long time family members, see a different atmosphere, and enjoy eat a lot of food. Everything seems like a perfected vacation. I thought we were going to go to Houston Texas, or San Francisco California. I was completely wrong we were going to Mexico!…

To my friends & family in Italy, I have only been in America for a few weeks now, it was a long hard journey to get to where I am now but I know it will all be worth it in the end. Leaving all of you in Italy was definitely the hardest part about all of this. After boarding a boat with not one friend or loved one, and being stuck there with them for a very, very long time it was difficult not to want to go back home to my family. But I knew that going to America was the right choice to be making for a good future.…
I am leaving. In less than few hours my life will change, completely. Fear and excitement are the main feelings that are flowing through my veins.

After anxiously waiting about fifteen minutes, our waiter arrived with three beautiful plates. He set down my plate exposing my eyes to three buttermilk pancakes perfectly placed together with a layer of fresh strawberries and a tower of fluffy whipped cream in the middle, sprinkled on top were small bits of nuts and powdered sugar. All I needed now was syrup but what syrup would I choose if there all sounded so good; From Original to Guava to Coconut to Honey Macadamia Nut to Honey Christmas Berry or Honey Rainbow Blossom. My older sister, a cousin, and I had decided we would be taking a summer trip to Honolulu, Hawaii.…
My Pappoús As she was telling me the news it was as if we were just having an imaginary conversation and soon we would be pretending to complete what we had discussed. Then the realization came upon me, this was going to happen. As the weeks passed by, the day had come, July 3rd of 2012. The day that I would be leaving a familiar world with familiar faces, I had to leave the small town in San Diego County, my lovely home.…
It was an early Monday morning, I was pretty happy at the time because this trip was going to get me out of a full week of school. So, it all began at the airport, looking out of the window I could see our plane, It was a bit intimidating and I was really nervous because this was going to be my first time on a plane. Nevertheless, I had nothing to worry about though because soon enough I would come to realize that, the time I would be spending in Puerto Rico would teach me to truly enjoy the great experiences in life. So we were off, I could not wait to begin my adventure in Puerto Rico and meet all the amazing new people. When my grandmother and I landed in Puerto Rico I had no idea what I was in for, we planned the trip last minute and had no plans when we got there, or so that's what I anticipated.…

But no one knows they’re infected until they find out what they believed is a lie. No one really knows how contagious this is until they see the real truth.…
