1st anecdotes

As I grew up, however, she taught me to be true to my self. As the youngest of nine kids, she’s the wildest of them all. From tattoos to piercing, and short pixie cuts. To the image of us dancing to spanish rock in my grandma’s living room, that image will always stay vividly in my head. I admit, she doesn’t always do the right thing, but she always does what works for her, what makes her happy, and most of those actions are what taught her the life lessons she cherished till today. As a 19 year old dropout,my aunt, Marina, moved to Arizona with her boyfriend. It was thanksgiving night, and after meeting him that same night, he took her away. She had to learn how to work for what she wants. She now knows that nothing is going to come to you, that you have to make things happen. Even though her relationship didn’t work out, she learned how to survive on her own.
