Dreams coming true

Europe

Whenever i was younger we used to receive National Geographic and one month there was a map of Europe of in it. For as long as i can remember Europe has been a dream of mine, and i put that map on my wall, and every night before i would go to bed i would trace my fingers over the countries and dream about going there. In October i will be going for the first time ever while getting paid. It was something that just opened up for me, and its happening. I feels so surreal i am even taking on a second job to help me. I remember writing at the beginning of this year that i would be going to Europe and that i would be published. Well this blog takes care of half of that :).

Who am i?

My name is Victoria Gaxiola, and i am 27 years old. I chose this topic of conversation because in the past 9 years since i have graduated high school there has been so much transition. I believe the biggest transition was between ages 20-25 the past two years have been fundamental. In my own life i was always told who i was; fortunately they were positive affirmations but unfortunately those words became more like an entitlement instead of something i worked for or grew into.
