Question to expand on

Do you belong, or have you ever belonged, to any clubs, gangs, or social/political organizations?

I belong to a Church Youth Group in St. Elizabeth's Church. I have been attending this group for the past 7 months. This group is a place for us young people to come together and be able to talk about God, our feelings and make long lasting friendships. We get together once a week and we talk about things happening in our lives and how God reflects in everything that we do. This group is a total blessing in my life.

What's your name?

My name is Vanessa Altagracia Toribio. My mother wanted to name me Melissa but my father wanted to name me Vanessa. Since I was his first and only girl my mother decided to let him pick. I was given this middle name because it is my grandmother's name. Most of the girls in my mother's side of the family have it too. If you try to translate it in english it would be High Grace. As for my last name, I don't know where it came from. But I hate when people try to pronounce it because they always come up with the wierdest translations of their own. When telemarketers call they always say Torbio or some other wierd way. They mix up the letters and pronounce it all wrong.

Hey!

Hi, my name is Vanessa. I am currently a student at St. John's University. I love to dance, listen to music and watch movies. I am the youngest of 4 and I have 3 older brothers.
I am not such a great writer and I am new to this blog thing. I am hoping to improve my writing skills with this new way of writing.
