#1 Thing I Would Change

This is my jersey from the All Star team.

There are many different things in life that I would change, but the most important one that I would change is me breaking my foot the summer before seventh grade. I wish I could take this back because the same time I broke my foot, I made a softball all star team. It was my first year making that team and I couldn't even play because of my foot. This not only effected me, but my teammates also because they lost a player. When I broke my foot, they gave me a cast for three weeks and another one for two. So by the time I got the cast off, the season was over I really wish I could take breaking my foot back so I could have played.

#1 Thing I Value

The number one thing that I value the most in my life is my mom. I value her because she is a a strong person and she encourages me and helps me become the person I am today. She inspires me by believing in me when no one else does and showing me and my sister to not give up on anything if it's something we truly want. This means a lot to me because if it wasn't for her I would have quit on something in the past that has benefited me today. One example of this was Early College. When I wanted to quit, my mom kept encouraging me and made me change my mind. Another reason why I value my mom is because she's a strong person emotionally. It takes alot for her to break down and I wish I was more like her.

One Interesting Thing I Did Over the Summer.

One interesting thing I did over the summer was be in a quinceanera. A quinceanera or quince is when a girl turns 15, and she becomes a "woman", so they throw a big party to celebrate. The way this made my summer interesting was because basically every week, we had to all get together and practice the dance we would perform the day of the quince at the party. Another thing interesting about it was the actual day; August 3rd. On that day, we first went to church and she got her shoes changed and 14 other gifts (jewelry, rosary, bible, doll, pillow, photo album, etc.). Then we all went to the lake and took pictures by the fountain and the beach. After, we all went to the party place to set up and practice our dance. Then we finally performed the dance. When we were done we got to dance whatever and eat. I had a fun time and enjoyed it alot.

Diamante

   My name is Diamante. It is very unique like a rose growing in a crack of the concrete.
   I was named Diamante by my mom. She chose to name me this because when she was in highschool, she took Spanish and learned that "diamond" in Spanish is Diamante.
   To me, my name is butter sweet. I feel this way because I like how nobody has the same name as me and it is very unique and different. I dislike my name sometimes because a lot of people mispronounce it.
   The meaning of my name explains my personality, perfectly. Diamonds are bright and clear. Me as a person, I am bright and fun to be around but I am also "clear" or easy to read.
