“Wow,” was all I said when I saw my friends I haven’t seen all summer standing at my door. I practically hung out with them every day until my hectic summer schedule came in, so it felt like I haven’t seen them in forever, even when it was only about 2 months. It’s funny how you would think summer is the time of relaxation and hanging out with friends everyday. As for me, I stayed a busy bee, and did many activities to pursue my dream of becoming a triple threat, and getting my name known. One…

The three signature strengths I used was love, gratitude and hope. These strengths fell in between one and six, total was 24, in my VIA Character report. As I go throughout my day I will display love to others, I always try to show gratitude, for all the good and bad things happen in my life.

The Blue Trailer Tromping up the wooden steps of our trailer, light blue paint chips off under my shoes. I swing open the front door and see the living room. Memories of family members sleeping over and birthday parties fill my mind. Carpet a light brown color, wallpaper that was at first white, but faded with age. The large TV takes up most of the room, along with the couch and leather chair. I turn left and see the dining table. At the end is a large, brown cabinet made for storing plates…

It’s six pm” .So we all race inside the cold house because we know it's time to dine so we want to be the first. When my dad pulls the giant turkey out of the steaming hot smoker. He said,“It’s not even close to done and it has still had pink in the inside”. The turkey was raw and cold. There was still some…

The Prince and the Blog Episode 1: The Surprisingly Sweet Sixteen EEERRRR! EEERRR! The sound of my alarm wakes me from the beauty of slumber; I open my eyes and stare at the clock, 7:30, so school should be starting in about half an hour… “Shush” I whisper to the machine, “I don’t care,” rather than making the effort to shut off the annoying noise I just decide to lie there and wait. Sure enough after about a minute or two my twin sister Erica bursts into my room, “ERIC! GET UP! I AM NOT…

I remember the day as if it was yesterday, on my 14th birthday my parents finally told me we could start planning my quinceanera. I was so excited imagining how it would all come together. I was ready to plan the best party and make a million memories with my family and friends. Looking for the most amazing dress was just so overwhelming not being able to decide if I wanted it big or small, what if I gained weight or lost weight not being able to fit in it when the big day arrived? After days…

even struggled with severe anxiety, depression, and testing anxiety, yet I wouldn’t say that is where my adversity is derived from. My hardships and difficulties in life come from the lack of stability at home. To this day I struggle to remember a birthday, holiday or vacation that didn’t include a massive fight between my parents. My parents are good people, but different people. My father is hardworking. He puts food on the table, pays the bills, and provides any basic needs my siblings and I…
