  One afternoon after a hard day of work Sofia came to her  house looking for her tennis gear. When she opened the garage closet all her and her son’s equipment fell on the floor. She was really mad because of all the mess her son had made in the closet the day before, when he was looking for his basketball. She immediately stop looking for her equipment and texted her son to come straight home after school. After she calms herself, she realized that they didn't need most of the equipment and decided to talk to his son about it. When he came to school they talk about it and decided to do a garage because they didn’t really use most of their equipment. The mother prepared a table in front of the house for the garage sale. The equipment was organized by the different types of sports. She decided to donate the remaining equipment to the Salvation Army. The next day they prepared a box with the equipment that was left and donate it. After a few days, they received a letter that said a thank you for their donations. They felt so good that they decided to go around the house looking for more things they didn't need, and instead of doing a garage sale to earn money for themselves, they will send it completely to charity this time.

Who has been an inspiration to you that is not related to you?

    A person who has been an inspiration to me is my former Culinary Arts teacher Julia Principe. She has taught me a lot of things. She helped me to be more creative and to always  believe in myself. She has always made me feel like family and we often of out and eat lunch tougher. We talk about ourselves and just to enjoy sometime together. She is one of the most empowering woman that I have ever met. I hope to keep having that special bond with her for a really long time.
