A Blossoming Flower

By Tiphanie Handy, ENGL 336.002

On April 1, Conchita Giraud, also known as Chita, was born in the Bronx, New York. She was born with brown eyes and brown hair. Giraud was eager to make her mark in life. She attended Blessed Sacrament Elementary School until eighth grade and graduated from a boarding school.

During Giraud’s time at Blessed Sacrament Elementary School (For more information go to http://blessedsacramentnyc.com) she got into two fights. Her first quarrel was in fourth grade with a girl. Giraud says she, “hit a girl in her face with a tennis racket. ” The argument started when a female talked wrongly of her mother. Her second fight was with a boy in fifth grade, and she “kicked him in his nuts.” Giraud was not one to pick with during her youthful years. Despite her two fights in elementary school, in her high school year she was a role model, or as Giraud mentioned, “a good girl.” Giraud was considered an authority figure on campus. She played sports such as basketball, lacrosse, and soccer. She played on the varsity lacross team and she played extremely well (for more information go to http://www.maxpreps.com/athletes/GW3bDE299k6xYyLf3Ph1MA/girls-basketball-winter-07-08/stats-conchita-giraud.htm). She was also an honorable student who made good grades. After Giraud’s high school year she attended Frostburg State University.

During Giraud's time at Frostburg State University she dated two men. Her first relationship was not the best. She dated someone for almost a year during her freshman year. This thought to be, fairytale relationship ended when she found out her male friend's true colors. Her male friend cheated on her and according to Giraud was a “compulsive liar.” Giraud notes,“He lied about where he worked! Almost everything that came out of his mouth was a lie. He was a dog.” Finding out this information was a sad moment in her life, because she trusted him completely. She introduced him to her parents and lost her virginity to him. He was her first love. Giraud dated her second male friend during her sophmore year. Giraud is a caring being. Instead of using her money for her own desires, she paid the way for her male friend to have a place to live. Giraud's male friend “ran into some finacial difficulties,”and being the person she is, she lended him a helping hand.

Giraud is currently attending Frostburg State University and is focused on school and completing her dreams. She hopes to be successful in every way possible. Giraud’s major in college is psychology. She has aspirations of being a psychologist and a sports analyst. In the future, Giraud hopes to have a loving family. She hopes to marry a husband, have three children, and live in Maryland or Virginia. She is a woman with a hard fist but a loving heart.
