My Hispanic Heritage

A couple months ago I was invited to apply for the Hispanic Scholarship Fund’s Youth Leadership Institute. This is a summer program where you spend a couple nights at either Princeton University, University of Chicago, or University Southern California and spend the week talking about leadership and the importance of college....

This is the Greatest Show

If you don’t know me then you don’t know that I love movies with a passion. There’s just something about snuggling up on the couch and having your world turned upside down or having a new outlook on something spark in you or getting that ache in your heart that...

Goodbye 2017, Hello 2018

2017. What a wild and unforgettable year that I am forever thankful for. Just to recap on the highlights: I traveled to Europe for the first time, visiting London and Barcelona, and opened my eyes to some of the wonders that the other side of the world holds. I moved...

See Ya Later Europe

April 21, 2017 Today was take two on watching the changing of the guard at the Buckingham Palace. Except for this time, we had insight information as to where the guards practice before the changing. This was cool because when they warm up they can play any music they want to...

Off to Barcelona

Saturday, April 15, 2017 My parents woke me up this morning because we wanted to make sure we had more than enough time to get to the airport and catch our flight. Finished up the last of our toaster waffles, oranges, and milk and started the trek to Stansted Airport...
