May 30th I walk across the stage. It still hasn’t sunk in completely that I’m done with something that’s been a part of my life for 14 years (pre-k to 12th). I’m excited to see what my future has in store for me, I know I’m going places.

How I did it: I went with my Mother and younger cousin for 6 weeks. We stayed in my Uncle's vacation apartment in Sabaneta. I must say this trip will be one of my greatest memories. I saw so many new things, and really got to think about life and how great it is. Read how I did it…

I leave to Colombia, and I arrive July 13th. So I’ll be gone a month and a half, it seems long for me to be in another country, but I’ll be with family so hopefully it goes smoothly. I’m actually very excited to go and explore where my Mother’s side of the family is from.
