Gorgina the coconut. You are still beautiful even after a few days sitting in my backpack because I forgot…. Your hair is starting to fall off a little bit, but you are still beautiful. With age comes some deterioration, i’m scared to get old. It being senior year and all of us about to start a new chapter in life genuinely scares the crap out of me. Gorgina is helping me see a different side of myself and my self confidence.  I can’t wait to open her up and see what beautiful coconut pieces lie inside. I started to think about Gorgina’s coconut family, maybe from florida, , or something even more beautiful. I hope they are doing well. Being seperated from family is hard, I think that’s a reason I am scared of college and growing up.

Today was the day, that I would open up Gorgina. It was a sad, but eye opening day. I first drained the cocount water out and then, I cut her in half. The journey with Gorgina made me realize that not only did I see myself in her, I reflected what I was feeling on to her. It was interesting to see how she was just a hairy circle, but when you opened her up she had so much amazingness. I feel that I need to realize that never judging a book by its cover can really go by for a lot. If someone didn’t know what a coconut was, they probably would think Gorgina was ugly looking, but she had so much to offer, but it was all hidden. I hope at the same time that people will not judge me by the way I look, and I just need to be confident. Overall, Gorgina taught me this lesson. Thank you for your time, and refreshing drink, you were amazing Gorgina!
