There are so many different moments where I couldn't laughing but one specific moment would be when my best friends family and mine watched the Miss Universe Pageant for my mothers birthday. If I were to describe that night it would just be labeled as "memorable". We ended up cooking some valiadas for the mini party and we surprised my mother with a cake. It was just non-stop laugher the whole night. We ended up doing karaoke as well which was hilarious considering that our voices aren't very Oprah. Also to add, that night ended off with the perfect finishing touch of Nicaragua winning as Miss Universe. Which is where my mother is from which made the moment even more special. That night was truly one of a kind.

A time when something I admired scared and challenged me would probably be God. I grew up in a religious household and am expected to have god in my everyday life. When I was young I never thought twice about the existence or goodness in God because I was scared of not being able to make it to Paradise. I also truly believed I felt god in my presence. Jehovah Witnesses believe that when the rapture comes Jehovah will come and get all his faithful followers and take them to paradise, where there's no pain, sorrow, or evil. Even when I was a kid I would always wonder if god created everything and knows everything that has and will happen, why did he continue to allow all the evil things that have transpired. If god knew from the beginning that eve would eat the apple why did he allow his seed (Satan) to condemn people that had nothing to do with EVE'S action. As I grew older I started to see more and more how messed up this world we live in truly is. It seems as if there's no...

Imagine you're in the delivery room excited to see meet your baby, and then it comes out and there's complete silence. That is what my mother had went through which she describes as one of the most scariest experiences of her life. I have asthma, it's not serious and I don't need anything for it, but this is all due to my birth complications. I was born through the vaginal canal unlike my C-section sister. My mother had told me that when i finally popped out the room was filled with absolute silence. Not a single cry, squeal, or whine was heard; My mother described it as the most painful silence she ever heard. I was struggling to breath due to me drinking liquid inside of the womb which was clogging my lungs and that's why I had been unresponsive. The nurses began to pat my back slightly hard to get me to breathe. Fortunately I was able to gain consciousness again. and was overall a healthy baby. The only side effect I have from that one short moment is having asth...

I started off my fall break by working the first two days of the week. Where I work it is required to wear a costume so, for those two days I dressed up as a minion and foxy from FNAF. During the week I would visit my neighborhood park. I would go with my best friend Alexander and my cousin Joanka, We'd play volleyball most of the day till we wore ourselves out. Eventually my friend Alexander had to go visit his sister who lives 30 minutes away from me so that was the end of our park marathon. I had also celebrated my grandmas 66th birthday. I had gotten her some Rose's to symbolize her name and we spent most of the day cooking and baking Flan. The next day my grandma has gotten sick so I had to take her to the hospital, I was scared at first because of how pale she looked but it turns out she just had a pinched nerve that could be easily medicated. The last of my break I spent working which wasn't to bad since I earned pretty good tips. Overall my fall break was a 8.5/10.

 How I find time to enjoy my day is through art. One form of art I constantly do is drawing. If I'm bored,anxious,angry, or sad I can simply pick up a pencil and create what I feel like. I find  to be very soothing and therapeutic; Being able to portray what's in my mind brings me a little does of serotonin. Art is involved in everything; for example the art of music boosts my day every time I listen to it. Music is also a very big part of me and being able to bond with others in my personal preference is very joyous. Most of the time, when i'm bored I also like to do my makeup. It can range from simple everyday make up to extremely complicated face pieces. By far my favorite would have to be my zombie look. Overall to find joy in my day even when things feel stressful, I find art as my personal therapist. Today in class we took our final tests bases on the book "Fences"

 A time someones words had a lasting impact on me would be when my art teacher told me I had a talent. As a kid I never had aspiration for anything I didn't know what I wanted to be because I thought life was a little mediocre. One day in second grade I was working on an art class project drawing a simple school portrait with a girl in the middle when I hear my art teacher walk behind me. She says "Oh my that looks really good you should enter this Google drawing contests you show great talent", she was probably being encouraging to a kid but she'll never know how much impact those words had on me. Her saying that about something I created made me feel so seen. I think that specific moment is when I started to find my passion for art and now I look forward to becoming a tattoo artist. The concept of being able to create something and someone wanting to put it on themselves permanently is such a beautiful heart-warming thing to me. On that note, today in class we prese...

I've never lucid dreams before, but one dream I can recall so strongly would be when i supposedly talked to a dead relative. I remember being in my room when this bright white portal opened up, Once I went through it I ended up walking into a living hell. The setting reminded me of the movie "As above, So below" (Great watch definitely recommend) It was like I was walking through horrifying challenges to achieve something in the end. Every level I would ascend to the setting would get scarier. Eventually, I got to the final level  which was a door that opened up to a large dinner table with a white ashy figure sitting in the middle. The presence I felt was of a male relative, but I couldn't make out who it was. Unfortunately I  can't remember  what the conversation we had was about but one thing I  do remember  is it telling  me I  could come back anytime to what. After  we finished talking the same white portal opened up and led me to my art clas...

 A time I had to step out of my comfort zone would be when I had to do my first Happy Birthday performance at my job Chuck E Cheese. I was freshly 15 at the time getting ready to go into my first work environment. Keep in mind I was already a nervous train wreck from having to meet new people. My manager sat me down to teach me about certain areas then she proceeded to tell me to join my coworkers in hosting a party. Overall, it was pretty easy up until the point that I had been told to go up infront of the crowd to cheer and dance alongside chuck. I began to feel my palms sweat and started to think about how wrong I could get the whole thing. I knew I needed the job and that I also needed to learn how to come out of my anxious shell. Eventually, I swallowed my anxiety up and went out to perform. It wasn't the best and was quite embarrassing, but it was relieving to finally get the hardest part done. I was not present in class today.
