It was beginning junior year, I had recently moved schools, which made me the new kid. Since every year everyone saw unfamiliar faces, I was lucky that nobody knew that I was the new one unless all eyes were going to be at me. I took the chance to start again and make some changes to my personality. I no longer wanted to be this introverted person, always being known as the “shy girl”.

It was mid-April, my friends were always full of that teenage drama, I won’t lie it was sometimes interesting to hear about it. For some reason they came to me for advice, whether it was stupid love relationships or some jealousy problem between one another.

    Faith is the belief in something greater than us one can put full trust, confidence, and reliance on when difficult times arise. I was raised to be involved with church activities to maintain my spiritual life; additionally my faith grew dramatically when my cousin deceased and gave me an overview of what I wanted to pursue my career as. When I was a child, my parents encouraged me to always be as loving and caring as I could be, not for personal gain, but to be benevolent to the people around me. I was raised with two loving parents, Mario and Rebeca, along with a younger brother, Mario and older sister, Ana.…
