Freshman Year of College
Before I begin, I wanted to say thank you to the 300+ people who read my first article "What High School Taught Me." I wrote it in my second semester of college and now that I have completed my first year in college, I thought "Why not write about my freshman college experience?" So, here we go.

My First Time in Mexico
Mexico is one of my favorite places. The food, the people, and the overall culture captured my attention immediately....well, almost immediately. The first time I went to Mexico, I was nine years old. My family and I had gone for for Christmas and the New Years. Entering into a country where you did not know the language nor the people was a little frustrating, yet exciting at the same time. Now, my mom is from Mexico, so this was the first time I was meeting her side of the family. The only downfall was that I did not understand Spanish, so when my family members would talk to me, I would answer with “Sí” or “No” even if it was not a "yes" or "no" question. The first person I met was one of my mom's sisters, her husband, and kids. They all seemed nice, but like I said, I didn’t understand what they were saying, and they didn’t understand what I was saying.

My Most Important Life Lesson
In life, people are constantly learning, whether it's from school or mistakes we have made or others around them and they mistakes they have made. Despite the life lessons you may learn in high school or from your elders, some of the most important ones can sometimes come in the moments you least expect it. How do I know this? Well, I've experienced it.

An Introduction to Myself
I've decided to tell you, the reader, about myself. For what reason? That is a great question that doesn’t really have an answer. But I do know that I felt that it's always good to remind yourself of who you are. I first wrote this during my senior year in high school, and if you have read my post “What High School Taught Me," you know I was a good student who got along with everyone. But sometimes it's not about who you are around or to other people, it's about who you are to yourself. It is good to see that I was honest with myself. However, I will say that I’ve definitely changed, for the better...I think. One thing that I want people to get out of this is that it's OK to think you are someone, but it's even better to KNOW that you are someone. I spent so much time in a small bubble, where I would keep to myself, and that's OK, because they day I broke free from it, I never looked back. So this is an introduction to myself.

What High School Taught Me
High School. A place where I learned valuable things that I will carry with me until I die. I was always warned by my oldest brother about certain things I will face in high school, but of course I didn’t believe them. I always thought every high school experience is different for each person. Surprisingly, I found out that it is true, but somehow we all come to the same conclusions. Now of course we all wished that we could break into song and dance on the lunch tables like they do in High School Musical or have an amazing teacher like Mr. Schu from Glee or get away with skipping school like in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. In high school, I was that person that got along with everyone, and while most of those people weren’t considered my friends, they were considered friendly acquaintances. Starting high school, I had two best friends, which is impossible since you generally only have one TRUE best friend. By the end of high school those two best friends turned into one and then back to two. Now, I could go on about the drama and what went down that caused one of my friendships to cease, but that's a story for a different time. But despite all that went wrong and what went right in high school, things didn’t seem to click or make sense until I was two weeks away from graduating. In that moment I realized many things, and here are a few of them:
