Saturday August 24, 2013 two days after my birthday. This was the day of my Quinceanera I have been waiting for this day for about 1 year. It was Saturday and I was up at 5am to eat breakfast and to go get my hair and make-up did at my mom’s friend’s salon. After I finished getting my hair and make-up did I had to hustle back home to get my dress, by the time I got home my court and the party bus was waiting for me. I was 30 minutes late to my service at St. Mary’s, I felt so embarrassed because not only did I have my family waiting but I also had the priest waiting. After the service was over my court and I got back on the party bus and \went to Pismo beach to take pictures. When we got to the beach and got off the party bus we had three photographers and one person recording everything. Many people were congratulating me and my main partner because they thought it was a wedding, also many of the people there were taking pictures for the same reason. We then went to go eat and cruised on the bus until it was time to go back to the reception. Three to Four hours went by and there was so much people it was really hard to walk through everyone, we got about twenty minutes to practice our dances, so my court and I decided to do our choreography to get it over with so we can get that out of the way and just have a good time. I remember my mother talking to me before it was time for me to preform, she told me how beautiful I looked, how proud of me she was, and how much she loved me. I also remember my dad tearing up when it was “father daughter dance” he was telling me how amazing my performance was and how much he loved me. The next morning I was so exhausted because I had to get up at 8am because my family had stayed at my house because they had come down from Washington DC. Everyone wanted me to open up gifts but I had to have my mom help me because I had hundreds of presents and envelopes to open and I was really sleeping. The day of my quince was one of the best days I’ve ever had and that I will forever remember. The reason I think this is one of the best days is because this day I got to be myself and that I got to open up and me myself. Also many people had complemented me which made me have confidence about myself till this day.
