She is a girl. She is a girl who wears her heart on her sleeves. She is a girl who puts her all into everything. She is a girl who has felt pain. She is a girl who has loved. She is a girl that at times feels lost. She is a girl that feels alone. She is a girl that will put on a smile even when she is not happy. She is a girl that will hold her tears back just to let you shed your own. She is...                                       

    I see color, I see the color in the sky, grass, water, the road, my hair, the tv, my favorite book, I see color. Surprisingly, it never phased me that I see color, growing up I lived in a predominantly black neighborhood but always went to schools that were diverse therefore, never confined to getting to know one race. But, it has now become a thing where now "race" is everywhere: on applications, tv, newspapers, etc. However, I have realized it has always been there but I have never noticed, and it wasn't that I never cared to notice but rather that it was never important to notice. I remember when I was younger being confused on what to check on applications and surveys that ask how do you identify yourself, because I identify as two races I am Puerto Rican and African American. I felt as though if I limit to one,  then I limit myself as a person. However, my parents always instructed me to check "prefer not to say" but really did I prefer not to say? I w...

     In less than 6 months I will be walking across the stage. I have never been more excited in my life, I am excited for the next chapter in my life. I am excited to meet the person I am destined to be and to be with. If you have not heard by now I am going to Queens University of Charlotte, which also happens to be my number one choice. I was super ecstatic to get my acceptance letter, most people tend to ask me why I decided to stay in Charlotte and I must admit staying in state was not always my first choice. When I was younger I used to tell people that I wanted to go to Florida State University, far, far, away from my family. But for some reason, as I got older I just didn't see the need anymore. There's so much more to discover right here in Charlotte, it doesn't even have to be places I've never been to but the idea of discovering by myself is what entices me.      Sidebar, I am obsessed with a TV show that happens to NOT be Grey's Anatomy...it'...

Love, because I love you I want nothing but the best for you.  I want to see you shine and accomplish the world.  I want you to be happy and not the type of happy that is portrayed  on tv. The type of happy that everyone dreams about.   Love, because I love you and want this best for you,   I put my wants and needs aside for yours.  Because I love you I forgot what it is to love myself.   I've convinced myself that loving me is selfish. When really you're the one who is selfish for not telling me it is okay to love ME.                                          

   Hey you guys, it has been a while since we last talked. I feel like the last time I wrote was maybe mid February, maybe, maybe not. To catch you up SUMMER17' is officially about to kick in, with my last week of junior year flying by. I was walking out of the doors that lead to the bus lot today when I started to think about the summer. How this whole year I was saying "Summer 17' will be mine" but, funny thing is I said the same thing last year and the year be for that, and the one before that, and so on. I mean you get the idea right? Yeah, pretty sure you do. I began thinking why I haven't experienced a summer worthwhile yet. You know like the ones in the movies where the girl typically meets a guy who helps her out of her comfort zone? If you didn't this is pretty much a quote on quote description of ENDLESS LOVE which was the movie of the summer last year. So, yes I am pretty much comparing myself to a fictional character in a book, but only because w...

            Hey you guys! I'm starting this blog off today thanking you all for the love and support in my blogs. A lot of you all have stopped me in school hallways saying "I like your blogs", "You're inspirational keep it up", or "When are you posting the new one?" , so thank you to each and everyone of you guys that take the time out your busy lives to read my blogs. I really appreciate it.            Let's talk the R word. Yeah that's right relationships. Relationships are one of the most important pillars in life. There are various types of relationships whether it be you and your family, you and and your significant other, you and your friends, and most importantly the relationship you have with yourself . A lot of people don't understand the volume of relationships and how important it is to stay far away from toxic ones.            The key to mastering relationships is to start with your...

           This year seems to be starting off well. I entered 2017 with a bang making and publishing my first blog. Tomorrow is the day I dread, the first day going back to school after break. The first day of school in the new year is always the worst because it is the day a lot of realization comes in to play. Realizing the first semester is practically over and only having two more weeks left of Quarter two. As if time is my only enemy, stress seems to be another major one.           Am I the only one that seems to be under a lot of stress as far as ending this school year with a "well done"? Is seems that since junior year started a lot of pressure has been added on me to get grades that represent me and that a university would like to see. And, let us also not forget that stress that comes with finding colleges you would like to apply for.          With all this going on how could an individual not be...
