One summer vacation when I was around sixteen years old, I was chosen Reyna Elena for the santacruzan. How happy I was! It was an honor to be chosen Reyna Elena. For many days and nights, I spent the time thinking of the coming event. The days passed very slowly but at long last the important night came. I looked every inch a queen. I wore a pretty white gown, a cape with a long trail and a sparkling crown on my head. I stepped out of our gate; I glanced at the house across the street to see if KATHLEEN was among the spectators looking at me. Sure enough there she was, hiding between the two women talking about me. She must have been very envious for we has a fight earlier. I held my head high and walked in a very queenly manner. But my high-heeled shoe tripped on something and I fell down. After the fall, I stood as queenly as I could and said, Can you do that?".
