Twenty-five years ago my parents gave birth to one of their coolest daughters, er, if you don't count my brothers haha. :P Many things changed when I was born and without going into detail, I've never taken anything for granted. My parents raised me to be the strong person I've become. They taught me how to fight, give, care, respect, create, admire, dream and love those around me. I can be one tough cookie but I can give just as much love (especially if you're a dog) and make people laugh with my lame humor. Long story short, I'm grateful for the sacrifices my parents have made throughout the 25 years of oxygen I've breathed and for making me the person I am today. ¡Gracias por ser los mejores!

Shout outs aside, last year I made a list of 24 things I wanted to accomplish before my 25 years of age. Although I couldn't complete some of them, feel free to check out the ones I did. I've compiled a list of 25 things to do before I turn 26 with the ones I didn't complete included.
