Quinceanera
It was on December 26, 2008 when I had my Quinceanera in Mexico. A Quinceanera is a stage where a young girl is becoming a young adult. Before that date, my parents had told me I could choose having a fifteen either here or in Mexico. Without thinking it twice I said in Mexico because I wanted to spend that time with my family. I could have gotten here, but I really did not have any family members here. The bad thing about it was that I had to plan it from here, and that was annoying because I could not talk to people personally. I had to do it through the phone. It took me months to find people to help me out with everything, but I have good cousins that helped me out from Mexico. It was December when I left on the plane all by myself to Mexico. I had to get everything ready for the day of my fifteen. I had to get the Waltz together with all my court of honor. We had to make up dances, and that was pretty fun. Rehearsals were not always the best because the guys often made me extremely mad. Most of the time they would not pay attention, they would not show up, and they would goof around. That day December 26 I had a mass in the morning where the father blessed me for becoming a young adult. After the mass, it was time to go to the salon to eat. My uncle made delicious meat, and the ladies from the town all gathered at my house to make rise and salads. At around 6 p.m when my father and I had to dance the daughter- father waltz. That was the best part of the night. I loved how he held me tight, and danced the last song of my childhood to become a young adult. After that special dance, my court of honor and I danced the waltz. For practicing a little bit it came out very good. To top off that day we had a band, and everyone danced until the next day. There were hundreds of people, and that is what I loved. Family, friends, and strangers went and I had a lot of fun. I can honestly say that was one of the best days of my life!
