I have been running track since I was 7 years-old. Track is a deep passion of mine. Track and I have this love and hate relationship, but at the end of every practice my love gets stronger. It teaches my about life lessons. It shows me not to give up when times get hard were you can’t endure the pain anymore.

This was my first vacation I had in years. I went to West Columbia, TX to visit my oldest living relatives. West Columbia is a little country town on the outside of Houston. My uncle is 90 years old and my aunt is 76. They taught me to love yourself first then others. Along with living with God in your life. This vacation was all about family love. They feed me until I was full and let me raid their kitchen so that I could have groceries at home. They showed the importance of family. I haven’t been around family like this since my father died last year. This meant a lot to me.

These photos were taken with a Canon Point and shoot camera. Some photos were on a repeated setting and some were still photos.
