Back Across the Pond
My black riding boots clacked against the cobblestone streets, as I tried to avoid injuring myself on the lethal combination of wet leaves and slippery uneven stones. The echo of my boots rebounded off of thirteenth century buildings, and traveled down the narrow, vacant street. It was a typical Sunday afternoon in mid-October in Norwich, […]

Why home?
When I was thinking about my first post, the title of my blog came instantaneously to my mind: “My Home Mendoza”, immediately followed by the question “What is home?” It sounded like a pretty silly, basic question, but I wanted to come up with a deep answer to it. I looked the word up in […]

Walking, Talking Mannequin
A young woman, around 25, sits behind a small desk. As I enter the room, she doesn’t look up. I greet her politely and she tells me to fill out a form and wait until my name is called. There are plenty of models already there eyeing me. As per usual, I am the shortest […]

the one where i introduce myself
The past 19 years of my life have been a whirlwind. I’ve lived in three different states in over five different cities and towns, traveled to Europe, learned things about myself that I would’ve never dreamed of, and moved 500 miles from home to live with 2,300 other people who are probably just as confused […]
