I spend every summer traveling. This past summer I was able to go to Miami, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Turks and Caicos with some of my best friends. I met my very best friend in third grade when she moved to San Antonio from Miami. Ever since then, we clicked. She was musically gifted and I was book smart, but both of us loved athletics and were rather lazy. As we grew older, our schedules started to clash more often and we couldn’t be together as often. We also only had third grade, Spanish in seventh grade, and 1 semester of a health class senior year together. However, we did and still do, live in the same neighborhood, so I would always go on runs to her house. Now that we are both in college, we really only see each other for a little bit in May and for a couple of days around Christmas.
Fun Facts:
1. I collect hotel pens.
2. While I took a break from writing this, I was holding 2 cups of very hot water to make some hot chocolate with. I was trying to leave the elevator once it got to my floor, but I guess the door sensors didn’t sense me and the door continued to close on my left arm as I was slowly walking out, trying not to spill my hot water. The water from the left cup splashed onto my right arm and I screamed, set my cups down gently on the floor and ran down the hallway. My arm is now covered in burn marks, but the hot chocolate was good.
Go Flames!
