We met in 10th grade. Well, Cristina was in 11th grade. High School love story, what can I say? Cristina was in my Health Class. Same circle of friends, and yet we never formally introduced ourselves. We met during one of those dreaded group projects in school. She was alone, with no group to join. I swooped in, knight in shining armor, and asked if she wanted to join my group. The quote goes: “Timing is everything. If it’s meant to happen, it will, at the right time for the right reason.” Talking to her felt effortless, she completed me. She became my best friend, my rock, confidant, and even my parole officer. My love for her only grew over time. I keep thinking of how lucky I was to meet Cristina. She changed my life and I love her. I’m glad I picked her, and she picked me. - Guillermo 1 Corinthians 16:14
