Birthdays represent one’s life, it’s a happy thing. You should think about your achievements every year and why not do it on your birthday.

Sweet 16 vs. Quinceanera
A Sweet 16 and a Quinceanera are somewhat similar. They’re both a celebration that marks a girl’s transition from childhood to young womanhood.
