Fernanda is currently in her senior year. As a member of a very active community, she has always been amazed at how the interaction between us and our environment can bring about meaningful impacts to our lifestyles. Being part of Girls Build allows her to explore these opportunities and contribute to the betterment of our neighborhoods and ultimately, our families. In my personal life, she enjoys watching videos online and reading a book once in a while. Although I don’t remember many quotes, she does recall a quote that went ¨It be like that sometimes¨. It might seem quite simple, but this phrase goes to show that even though many problems might be burdening you and your unsure about the future, life is sometimes be like that. You are not alone and there is people that have gone through the same things you have. It is important to remember to stay strong through thick and thin.
