Update

A year has passed by already and where do I start? From moving in and out of new places to enjoying my career, to a new relationship and growing each day that passes by.

For the past year, I have realized many things. I am growing up to be a responsible woman that I need to be and realize that this is it, from being a small little girl wishing that I would once wish that I would love to find my prince charming to wishing that I would live life content. Now that I have reached to the point where I can see that hard work pays off, it's time for the reality check.

From all those years that I may have given my parents a burden on them from me being hard headed to making them work as much as they can to provide me with a very good future. I have to say it's been time for me to work hard and go through what they've been through. All the hard work, all the lectures, all the yelling and all the support they have showed me, it was for me to be a good person in the future and to have a good one. I am thankful for all the hard work they've done for me to be where I am today.

I am proud to show them now that I can stand on my two feet and finally repay them for all the hard work that they've been through and set myself for my future. For me to work hard for myself and a family for the future I will be having.

I really believe " HARD WORK PAYS OFF " It's amazing to see the goals I have achieved. Now it's time for me to work harder and start living for my future.

This past year, I have opened up my heart once again, I must say that I thought I wouldn't for awhile for what I've been through, but God has sent me an angel from above and swept me off my feet. Through my 21 years of my life, I have never met anyone teach me "patience," a very important trait I always wanted to learn and achieve. He has showed me love, joy, happiness, trust, forgiveness, loyalty and now patience. I am very surprised to finally have met my soul mate, my partner, my other half, my boyfriend David Siqueira.

All in all, enjoying life as of right now, even though it's been rough through moving in and out and also adjusting to a relationship and working harder as ever at work, I know everything will turn out well. Stay positive and the outcome will be good.
