I’ve never been interested in Disney princesses or being a princess. As a child, I preferred to play with different toys, like stuffed animals. But little by little, I grew fond of ballroom dresses. When I was asked if I wanted a quinceañera, I didn’t know how to answer because I didn’t know if I wanted to be the center of attention. But when I went to my first quinceañera, I realized how much I longed to be a princess for a day and wear a ballroom dress. I also wanted to continue the family tradition of celebrating a quinceañera.
