Hannah Flores

My name is Hannah Flores and, guess what, my first name means flower in Japanese, and my last name means flower in Spanish. So, my actual name is flower flower, if you translate it. I can describe myself as different. I am 13 years old, and I am from Florida. I can say Florida has the best Cuban food ever. I love watching comedy and playing cards. My favorite colors are blue and pink. My spirit animals are a panda and a unicorn. Also, I am mixed. I am two things: Caribbean and black.

A TRUE LOVE STORY

Once upon a time not long ago, there was a general named Lopez from Spain. He had a wife who couldn’t have kids at all, so he left her.

Then he traveled across the fine sea to a beautiful place called Trinidad and Tobago, originally for vacation, but he found love. So, drumroll please, she was my great-great-great-grandmother, and her name was Mary. She was tall and beautiful and had a sweet smile just like Blow Pops when you unwrap them. Then, two months later, General Lopez and Mary got married. Three months after they got married, they had a handsome son named Stevie, and after he was born, General Lopez got a letter from Spain calling him to report for duty. After that, he left for Spain, writing a letter to his beautiful wife, saying until we meet again. Then the ship called.
