The most important people in my life are my parents. They are the ones who have always been there for me good and bad ( of course) . Encourage me everyday to be the best that i could possible be and to never give up. They are my inspiration and my drive, they have given everything to give me a better life and i want to pay them back by making them proud. i love them to death <3
. I My brother Steven is also a very important person in my life. He is exactly 8 yrs old turning 9 soon! He is a pain in the butt sometimes but i wouldnt know what to do with myself if i didn’t have my brother. I hope to be a good role model to my brother and to be someone who he knows he can always count on.
This is a picture of my godmother, Isabel. A god mother in Catholic relgion is someone who will take care of the child incase the parents pass away .She is literally my second mother, i can always count on her for everything. I love the fact that i can be able to talk to her about anything and everything whenever i need. She has taken that role from day one even if my parents were live and well. I am so thankful for having with her in my life <3
This picture is a picture of the people in the Gateway program i was involved in high school. This program helped me so much in my preparation for college. All these people are very inspiring and special to me. The memories i share with them will last me a lifetime and i hope to maintain many of the friendships ive acquired.
This is a picture of my boyfriend, diego, and I. I put this picture up here because he is not only my boyfriend but my bestfriend as well. He was my friend before anything and has always been there for me. He is the only one who has enough patience for my many mood swings and fits. I know no matter whar we will always be a part of each others life.
Theres a silly picture for you all lol! Meet my bestfriends guys ! They are the weirdest people i know but i love them. I can be myself around them and know they will never judge me. I wouldnt change them for anything.
This is graduation, the proudest moment of my life so far. The most emotional one as well. This day marked the start of my new journey. I was soon to become an official college student and making me the first person in my family to attend college. I hope to repeat this day in 4 years when i become a college grad.
The swimming pool, this represents my escape. This is how i get away from all my troubles and im able to expereince peace and true happiness. I love to swim, have been swimming since i was 7., and even dreamt of becoming professional when i was younger. lol! im a fish out of water !
Hey Maritza, I really enjoyed going through this post. Its nice to see how much support and love your family gives to you and how you do the same. Friends are weird they will always be, I have some pretty messed up ones to, but thats how you know they will always be there for you. Also its awesome that you swim, I like swimming too, well mostly jumping into lakes from rope swings, but its fun! And I can’t believe size of your school! My school had 150 graduating kids, how many are in yours?
Glad I got to read through this,

Hey Manraj, Im glad you enjoyed reading through this post 🙂 My school had about, if not exactly, 1000 graduating seniors. I know pretty big compared to most but my school is known to be the most crowded high school in NYC, so i guess that explains the size!
Martiza, thank you for sharing these pictures on your blog. I like the image of the pool, and what it represents. Have you found the pool at Baruch, yet?
The Gateway college program sounds like an amazing experience– have you kept in touch with your peers as they transitioned into college, as well?
It is interesting to think about how different a high school class of 150 is, from a class of 1000, as Manraj mentioned. Wow!
Keep up the great work, and I look forward to reading your future blogs!
