Favorite Quote: “There comes a time in your life when you away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad and focus on the good.

Life is too short to be anything but happy.” -Jose Harris Favorite Movies: Sixteen Candles, John Huges films, Iron Man Series, Avenger’s Series. Did someone say Sunday movie marathon!?
