Winter Park, Orlando, Florida, February 2020
I never dream that I would have my 17th birthday like this. It was even more than I ever hope for. I had so much joy on my birthday this year.
My friends tried to surprise me at the school. It was so funny when suddenly nobody was in the class, so got out of the class looking for everybody, and there they were down stairs, they were about to go upstairs to surprise me. Well, I knew that the plan didn’t go exactly the way they planned it, but it was also a very sweet surprise to me and I’m so grateful for that, knowing that my friends care for me.
Mom gave me permission to have a small party with my friends to celebrate my birthday at home. Well, I know it was small, but it was so sweet and priceless to me. Everything was just perfect. I love all of my friends so much. The only thing missing is my family. I wish they were here with me.
