15 Years ago is when you went to Heaven to be with Grandpa Don. I remember hearing the words "Grandma passed away last night." My heart sunk to hear that. I know I was young and couldn't process it; but now that I'm older I know you're not coming back. I often ask about you and what you were like. I always hear that I resemble you with your bright and sharp personality. Our family members always say i have your nose, which isn't as bad as you would think. I unfortunately can only remember is me playing with your curly brown hair and pretended I was a hairdresser.

Thank youfor always looking over me as the years go on, I cannot put into words how thankful I am.

Thank you for always being in my heart.

Thank you for answering my prayers.

Thank you for showing me the signs of life.

Thank you for always calling me "shrimpy".

Thank you for making me realize the impact you had on my life.

Thank you for giving my dad life.

Thank you for making beautiful skies.

Thank you for letting me play with you curly hair.

Thank you for giving us Clancy.

Thank you for showing your love for schnauzers.

Thank you for simply being my grandma.

I love you more than words can describe, I miss you everyday

Your granddaughter,

Elizabeth "(Shrimpy)"

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good. Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.

Oh college, lovely, lovely college. A four-year time span that is filled with many highs and many lows. Between procrastinating on an essay that is due at midnight to getting your first library card (if you know what I mean), college is a time that you should not take for granted, yet it is also a time where you feel like your entire world is falling apart. It is a time where one day you can feel like you are on top of the world and then the next day you are 500 feet below the ground surface.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.
