What is so special about me? I am just an average student who has several good friends to hang out with, likes watching sports, and is crazy about horror movies.
A lot of things make me happy for example: my friends (they always have the right things to say), my family (they are always there for me and I know if I need something they will have my back any day), and my dog (he is such a sweet heart, very friendly, and when I'm sad he cheers me up)... Many things can make a person happy but this are my top three things that keep my wheels turning because I always know that I have someone to turn to if I need a shoulder to lean on or maybe just need someone to make me smile.
Things that make me sad: I'm rarely ever sad but when I am It usually from things like maybe a break up with a boyfriend or a fight with a best friend. Usually my sadness never lasts long, it tries to stick around but I have such great friends that it is just easily lifted away.
I have one main thing I believe in and that is God. He has done great things in my life and I know without him I would be right here, right now, at this very moment. I'd be stuck some place where no one loved me or cared for me. I'd be in a place with bad influences, drugs, alcohol, etc. But I'm not I'm here fixing to graduate and having the time of my life with the people I love.
I am proud of my friends for making it this far. It's senior year; look at us! We made it to the end of high school, we are almost walking across that stage. I am so proud of all my friends for doing well, for getting good grades, keeping up with their work and staying out of trouble. Congratulations... Class of 2012!

Prom:
Prom was a very important night for me because it was last formal dance left for seniors before they graduate. It was pretty much like a big party with my friends before we have to say goodbye.
Prom was very memorable for me. I sat at table 14 with my friends Stephanie Murillo, Jose M., Emma Perez, Leonard Butkiewicz, Samantha B., Alex Bravo, Blanca, Leslie and her boyfriend. We ate an awesome dish of food with all kinds of delicious things. We had two fountains one with white chocolate and another with regular chocolate with tons of things to dip in them. We had an excellent DJ they did really well; playing many varieties of music and how they mixed it up was excellent. I didn't enjoy stopping like every third song just to give awards but, I did enjoy learning who and who had won. I had fun dancing with my friends and being silly. It was one of those nights I will remember all my friends dressed up so nicely especially the girls they did really well; all they're dresses looked fantastic. Prom was definitively what I was hoping for and I am glad it was a night I could share with all my closest friends.
After prom added on to all the fun. Sleepover for Stephanie M. birthday! Me, Aundrea Flores, Blanca, Jose, Robert G., Sarah, Paula... Yeah!

Hobbies:
In my spare time there is many things I like to do but, I would have to say that my main hobbies are singing and sketching/drawing clothes.
Singing- I have been singing since I was about 3. And for me singing is everything. Like Mohan says, "I sing because I need to believe." Singing is a break out for me; a way to get away from it all. When I sing it's like I'm in another world; one with only me and my music. A world with no violence, no drama, no he said she said. A world with just the perfect combination. I just love it. I like to learn more about it and teach myself new ways to sing. Singing to me is more of a need then a hobbie you could say because I love it so much and if I didn't know how to sing I don't know what I would do.
Drawing clothing- I haven't been drawing for very long because before I always thought that I drew really bad which I did except when it came down to drawing clothes which I found out my southmore year. I was in Mrs. Rebelloso's class and her assignment had to do with drawing some clothes on some manicans she had printed out. At first I was like I don't want to do this, people are going to find out how bad I draw. But once I started it just took off. I let my creativity control my hand at it came out better than I thought it would. I guess I have Mrs. Rebelloso to thank for this hobbie of mine. This is also a fantastic hobbie to know especially because I decided that I would like to become a Fashion Designer someday.

A skill I learned that will serve me well in the future:
I believe the best beneficial skill that will serve me well in the future is my people skills. My ability to listen, expressing my thoughts and feelings clearly, initiating relationships, etc.
Listening to others is a key element of communication. If you don't know what they mean, you can't give
feedback. Being open to their views. Being friendly during a conversation, even if the other person isn't so
friendly back. Showing them respect for their opinions.
Initiating relationships helps develop new contacts and new friends. For example: Going out of your way to
have conversations with new people; if you're usually the quite one that no one talks to make an effort
to introduce yourself to strangers/new people.

Expressing your thoughts and feelings clearly helps people understand you better. Helps people understand what you are thinking and understand what kind of person you are. When people understand what kind of person you are they feel more comfortable to express themselves to you and to show you their true colors. they are no longer trying to hide themselves but to show you 'who they are.'
These I believe will benefit me much in my life because people skills I believe is very important not only to communicate with others properly but to also learn about others and have them trust you because you are open and you know how to listen and not just open your mouth.
Something I wish I could do over:
Something I wish I could do over... My whole high school experience. Not because it was bad or because it wasn't fun but because I would change my attitude towards school. My grades would not be the way they were. I would of passed with A's not with half B's and C's. I would get involve in school go to more pep rallies, more games, get in an organization, get a leather-men for being in something cool like band or orchestra or dance or staying in Choir (all four years), etc. I would of done my homework to the fullest. I would of taking notes as asked or whenever I needed to. I would of studied harder than I ever did. I would try my best to be a better student to participate more, to get more involved in class, I would of been the best I could be. I would of not done the things I did like skip, not do my homework, not study and try to study the day of the test or even the class of the test, I would of not feel asleep in class and not get my work finish or not take notes in class, I would of not talked and not get my work done, I would of not. If I could do it all over I would do it different. I would go in and take over, make the best of it, and would of came out victorious.

Advice for next year's seniors:
"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. Your on your own. And you know what you know. And you are the one who'll decide where you go..." -Dr. Seuss
First of all Seniors, Congratulations. *CLAP, CLAP, CLAP* You have made it. Senior year can be filled with much joy and fun. But, depending on how you start it off and how you end it. Yes, it's suppose to be the year you get to 'Relax/Chill' but it doesn't mean you sit around sleeping or not doing your work cause remember this year counts too. This year is as important as junior year (pass all your taks test). Not saying stay away from things like pep rallies, homecoming, football games, parties, prom, etc. Just saying just because you made to senior year doesn't mean it's over. Because senior year goes by faster than you can blink (at least it feels as so). Remember it's your last year, the year before you're off; out in to the world. So play when it's time to play and work when it's time to work. Study for your test, keep your grades up, pass your classes, but also have fun, cherish your last year with your friends, make the best of it all in style. Believe me it's so much better to buckle down from the get go then to play catch up/make up at the end.

The most challenging lesson:
The most challenging times bring us the most empowering lessons. –Karen Salmansohn
I have had many challenging moments in my life many where I struggled so much to comprehend the lesson but, came out knowing that what I thought, did, or would do was wrong. One I remember clearly, one I still can't comprehend all the way, one that still comes out to haunt me at times, my reflection. Almost my whole life until about the 10th grade, I thought that the person in the mirror was not me. I wanted to believe I was more beautiful than I appeared before myself. To myself I seemed like the ugly duckling and everyone around me was oh so beautiful.
He changed it all, God. I started going to church all of a sudden during the middle of the first semester. But, I knew it was ment to be. One time I went in and all the music and all the singing just made everything melt away... all my insecurity, all my hurt, (all) washed away. The sermon that night was about how God sees us; how he sees me. He talked about Samuel and how the lord said in 1 Samuel 16:7, But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
It set my heart on high clouds. When I looked in the mirror I now thought 'Life is too short to spend hoping that this or that was fixed or made better when I was beautiful from the get go; he made me perfect just the way I am.
