These pictures describe who I am. The first picture shows how I was a diva as a child, I loved dressing up, and I was sassy; most of you can see that I haven’t changed much! The second picture is a perfect way to describe the current me- classy and dressed up but I never in denial of my sport and the fact that I am an athlete. The third picture shows three generations of strong, independent women from youngest to oldest. My Abuela and Ma are the most phenomenal women in my life. They raised me to be everything I am today and have shaped most of what I will become, my love for them is unconditional. The fourth picture is of me and “B-Love”, my mini-me, my headache, my world- my brother all in one. The picture perfectly describes our relationship and goofy tendencies. The fifth picture is of me playing basketball, which is not only a passion to me- it has become a lifestyle. I am a different person when I play, my soul is freed. This sport has given me my competitive edge and it has been a reflection of the power of diligence. The sixth picture shows me acting onstage in one of my school’s plays. I have a particular love for acting, and if I had enough experience to pursue a career in it, I would. The seventh pic was taken this past summer on my vacation to Dominican Republic. I’m a risk-taker, so I believe that facing your fears (and surviving after) is one of the most beautiful things in life. The last and final picture shows complete happiness with my fHi, I’m Vanessa 🙂avorite quote. If God blessed us with so many positive things in life, the least we can do is find a reason to laugh and smile each day… I hope you find something to smile about today 🙂
