It has been about 2 months after our amazing summer experience in DC, and I still feel I am transitioning into my life in Brownsville. Life has been coming at me quickly and I don't know if to panic or be excited, or maybe even both. As a result, I've had several moments of true solitude to reflect on life. Precious moments to take a good look at myself, inside and out: who I was, who I am, and who I want to be. This task has been incredibly difficult, but necessary to take the next steps in my life. Another birthday has passed. More dreams to fulfill and goals to create. I will strive to make this year as great as the last. However, missing my Archer family on my birthday was hard...our sisterly love, our friendship. I don't have sisters, which might explain why friends in my life normally turn into family.
The first week, after I received the necklace, was busy and also an emotional roller coaster. Wearing the necklace, I started the week off with a second job, found out I will be graduating in May and not December, and ending the week off with some jazz was very interesting. To begin with, I am an emotional person, some might say
I love wearing the necklace! It is golden, simple, and beautiful. Reminds me of the amazing people I spent the summer with. I am amazed at everything I learned from the Archers! I will take my sister's strength but softness; toughness but kindness wherever I go. Don't think for a second I will just forget about you.
XOXO
Blanca
