In 1967, my great grandmother settled in San Francisco from Nicaragua, a small country in Central America. The atmosphere of San Francisco at this time was one of acceptance and peace, stemming from the Summer of Love and the Haight-Ashbury culture.

California offered her the opportunity to utilize her entrepreneurial skills and start her own bakery after a fews years of settling in the city.…

Graduation speech Juan C “Nothing is over until the moment you stop trying.”- Bryan Dyson Being Comfortable has been a real struggle for me these past years i’ve been here in holmes.6th grade for a 5th grader is scary, not knowing what is coming for you. 7th grade becomes easier because you already have an idea of how junior high is. 8th is all about reflecting over 6th and 7th grade.

Marissa, my eldest sister, had moved out of the house and was going to college in Mount Pleasant. It was a huge change I went from seeing my eldest sister everyday to seeing her maybe twice a month.
