This is Me

Hello everyone!

I thought I'd create this first post to introduce myself and talk about the reasons why I decided to start a blog.

I was born in Cuba and have been living in the United States for 8 years now. My parents have been and still are a true inspiration to me in every single positive way one could ever imagine and I couldn't be more honored and blessed to be their daughter. I also have a wonderful older brother who's always been there for me to teach me new things, be a role model, and show me his love and support throughout my life.

I was brought up in the Seventh Day Adventist Church. There I was taught about the love of Jesus and He has proven His love for me till this day. I don't know what I would do without Him. One of my main passions growing up was the piano and I was supported by my parents to play it since I was 5 years old. Singing was also a very important part of my childhood, especially at church and sometimes even at school.

I am currently 20 years old and attend college in Bradenton, FL at SCF. I'm in my first year of college and I hope to get into the Physical Therapy program (but I could always change my mind, who knows). I am a member of the Tampa SDA Church more known as Grace (I'll probably be talking more about it in other blogs). Also, I am honored to be a part of a christian music ministry called Second Chance at our church (for more info please visit www.secondchancesdamusic.org). Being part of this group has played an important part in my spiritual life and has blessed me in ways I never even imagined.

I was inspired to create this blog by reading the blog of a young woman much like myself. Reading her posts really have both inspired and challenged me to make true changes in my life and live up to my best potential. I thought it would be a great idea to keep record of this new chapter of my life through this blog (hopefully with the company of readers). They say that there is no better way to reassure yourself in your own paths than through writing. Therefore, I've decided to challenge myself on doing something I've never done before (writing about my life) and hopefully I can be an inspiration to some one in the future just as Annette was to me.

Thank you so much for reading my very first blog ever!!!!! Hopefully there will be many more exciting ones to come soon.

Warm Greetings,

Suzie
