My object is my engagement ring, for me is a significant symbol for many couples and cultures around the world because it represents a moment you will never forget. It is a symbol of love, commitment, work, patience and sometimes sacrifices. After three years of a long distance relationship between Mexico and the United States, I was surprised with a marriage proposal. I never imagined that it would ever happen to me being honest, but I said… ¨yes ¨!  My life started changing from that moment, between illusions, happiness and sad feelings I had to leave my family, my country, friends and close a cycle in my profession, business and my personal dreams that I was built until that moment. But I knew inside of my heart and mind that I have to try it and give myself the chance to live it and challenge myself to grow in all senses. Now my parents and family are proud and happy for me cause I'm in the way to realize my dreams, supporting my decisions. This ring represents me myself in how all my life has been happened to bring me at this point, all the things and experiences I had to live before and make me feel ready for,  same time is the beginning of a new chapter in my life that makes me feel excited to fight for this love and my dreams.
