Welcome ☀

Welcome to The Blooming Flower. A flowers starts off as a tiny, inexperienced little bud, and then develops into a colorful, full grown flower. Similarly, I started off having no experience with the real world, and I have been continuously growing and maturing for almost 18 years.

Between my vigorous academic schedule, active lifestyle, and dynamic social life, I sometimes find it difficult to create an equilibrium that ensures all parts of my life are blooming as much as possible. Sometimes I need to pick between waking up before school to take a walk with my mother, or getting that extra hour of sleep to ensure I give my full attention in class. I love venting to my mother and catching up while getting some exercise, but I definitely do not like falling asleep in class. Sometimes I need to pick between staying after cheerleading practice for optional conditioning, or using that extra hour to study for a test. I love pushing my body further and getting in an extra workout, but I definitely do not like taking a test I feel unprepared for. How do I choose?

For me, the most important part is halting my rushed lifestyle for a moment and noticing who is around me. I have learned that the only thing that keeps me sane is the strong relationships in my life. My loving friends and family are always there, so I make sure I take the time to appreciate them and cherish what I have.

Although it may get challenging sometimes, my busy lifestyle does not completely stop me from growing socially, intellectually, and emotionally. Since November 22nd, 1998, I have been slowly but surely blooming like a flower.
