Fourteen Going-On-Fifteen

I am excited for the near future that will dawn on me quickly. By near future, I mean the next month, February, where I will celebrate my birthday. It is actually quite a coincidence that I have three friends whose birthdays take place in the same week as mine.

Unfortunately, I will not be in school on my birthday, as I will be in Ohio taking tests and having interviews to see whether I am accepted into the Christian Hills High School in Cincinnati. This is unfortunate because as my last birthday here, I would have liked to spend it among friends here at school, but now I know I won’t. I try to make the best of any situation, but missing my birthday here in Venezuela isn’t something I am very happy about.

Anyways, I am turning fifteen in roughly three weeks, and I am excited because in Mexico, where I am from, turning fifteen is a big deal, and it is normally celebrated with a party: a QuinceaƱera. I won’t have one of these parties because my family is going to take me traveling during our spring or Easter break, but turning fifteen is something to look forward to nonetheless. Besides, I have asked my parents if perhaps I can have a Sweet Sixteen birthday party once we are living in the States.

Anyways, I still look forward to traveling to the States on my birthday because that means that instead of traveling once, and having a big trip during spring break, I will have two trips. When I think of it this way, instead of thinking of it as a necessary trip before we move, it has a much more positive spin on it and is something I am happy of.

                Sincerely,

                                Me
