Sports team
If you started a sports team, what would the colors and mascot be?
If I had a sports team, my mascot would totally be a dolphin. And just to clear things up, it’s not because of the Miami Dolphins – they’re not even close to my favorite football team! Dolphins are super smart, playful, and they’ve got some pretty cool social vibes going on. I’d go for team colors in different shades of blue and gray, just like those awesome dolphins in the ocean.

Cherishing Laughter and Creativity
I’m most happy when I hang out with friends, as we share laughs and create great memories together. Painting and drawing bring me joy too; I love expressing myself creatively and getting lost in the process. Spending time with my niece and nephews is also a highlight— their laughter and playful energy remind me of life’s simple joys. Overall, these moments fill my heart with happiness!

Say
Tell us one thing you hope people say about you.
I hope people say that I was nice to everyone. It would mean a lot to me to know that I treated others with kindness and respect. I strive to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere wherever I go, whether it’s offering a smile to a stranger, lending a listening ear to a friend, or helping someone in need. I believe that small acts of kindness can have a big impact on people’s lives, and I aim to make each interaction meaningful. If people remember me as someone who made them feel valued and appreciated, I think that would be a wonderful legacy to leave behind.

Positive Events
Daily writing prompt
What positive events have taken place in your life over the past year?
In the past year, I’ve experienced many positive events. One of the first was obtaining my Master’s degree in Special Education, and now I am actively looking for a job that will allow me to utilize my degree to its fullest potential.
Another positive event in my life is that I became friends with an amazing person, and I feel grateful to have met him. Every day, I appreciate the friendship we share, whether we’re just chatting about our day, exploring new activities together, or sharing our thoughts and dreams. His positivity and support have motivated me greatly, encouraging me to step out of my comfort zone and try new things. There have been countless moments filled with laughter and deep discussions that have enriched my life in ways I never anticipated. Knowing that I have such a reliable friend by my side gives me a sense of comfort and belonging. I truly cherish this friendship and look forward to all the adventures that lie ahead.
Over the past few months, I’ve noticed a significant shift in my writing journey. I have become more confident in my abilities, which has encouraged me to share my work with all of you. This openness has been both thrilling and a bit nerve-wracking, but each time I share, I learn and grow. The support I’ve received has motivated me to push my boundaries further and explore new topics and styles. I’m excited about this journey and look forward to continuing to improve and share more with you all!

Instincts
I’ve been reflecting a lot on the importance of trusting my instincts. It’s something I’ve struggled with in the past, often second-guessing myself and relying too heavily on the opinions of others. However, I’ve noticed that I’ve made progress in this area.
I’ve started to pay more attention to my gut feelings and the subtle nudges I receive from within. It’s empowering to recognize that I have an intuition that can guide me through various situations. Each time I trust my instinct and it leads to a positive outcome, I feel a sense of accomplishment.
It’s not always easy, but I’ve learned to embrace the moments when I feel a strong pull toward a certain decision or choice. Acknowledging this growth makes me proud. Celebrating these small victories fuels my motivation to continue this journey of self-trust and confidence. The more I trust myself, the more I realize how much I have to offer and how capable I truly am.

Favorite Month
June is my favorite month for three big reasons: the awesome weather, swimming, and my birthday. I love those warm days—perfect for soaking up nature and swimming in a pool or at the beach. Celebrating my birthday in June makes it even more memorable. The weather is nice, with morning clouds that clear up for sunny afternoons, and it’s not as hot as the sticky summer months. June feels like the kickoff to summer, and when I swim, I find amazing peace, letting go of stress. It’s a relaxing escape, and afterward, I feel refreshed. And of course, it’s my birthday month, which always excites me.
MAD
First Impression
The first impression I want to give people is warmth and approachability. I aim to come across as friendly, open-minded, and supportive, making others feel comfortable and valued in our interactions. It’s important that people think they can engage quickly and trust that I’m here to listen and help.
MAD
Pets
What is good about having a pet?
Pets offer companionship that can help alleviate loneliness and give their owners a sense of purpose. Whenever I come home to my dogs, I feel reassured knowing they care for me and seek my love and attention. Their presence significantly reduces my loneliness.

Most Expensive
Daily writing prompt
Name the most expensive personal item you’ve ever purchased (not your home or car).
The most expensive personal item I have ever purchased is my glasses. I do not have vision insurance, and I wear bifocals, so you can imagine the cost of seeing properly.

Favorite Subject
What was your favorite subject in school?
Okay, this might shock some, but my favorite subject in school was math. I loved its clear-cut nature, where answers were definitive. There was something satisfying about solving problems and knowing I was right or wrong. Math provided a sense of order and logic that I found comforting.
Recently, I’ve begun to appreciate writing more. Initially, I saw it as subjective and ambiguous compared to math. However, as I explored poetry, storytelling, and essays, I discovered the beauty in its complexity. Writing allows for creativity and expression, enabling unique perspectives and emotions.

In Three Years, Time
In three years, I see myself in a job that I really enjoy, where going to work feels great instead of stressful. I want to wake up excited each morning, knowing that my coworkers are nice and willing to help each other. I also want to have illustrated at least two books for my friend. I would love to show my creativity and help bring their stories to life with my drawings. On a personal level, I hope to be in a caring and loving relationship with someone who truly cares about me. I want a partnership where we respect and understand each other, sharing our thoughts, dreams, and daily lives.
