The Journey through Tara's Life

  • The Day the Journey Began

    The Day the Journey Began
    I was born at 8:05 P.M. at Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola, Florida. I soon moved to Jackson, Alabama, where I was raised. I was blessed to become a member of the Watson family with my dad, Clark; mom, Diane; and big sister, Amber.
  • Beautiful World

    Beautiful World
    I have loved being outside since I was young. The beach has always been one of my favorite places in the world. It is purely beautiful and a gift for us to enjoy.
  • My Baby Cousin

    My Baby Cousin
    I was given the priviledge of holding my best friend when she was only weeks old. Rheanna is my first cousin and best friend in the world.
  • My Baby Brother

    My Baby Brother
    On this glorious day, I received a baby brother. He was the same size as me for quite some time, despite the age difference. We were perceived as twins by everyone. However, he soon had a growth spurt and I was no longer the twin but the older little sister. I am very proud of my brother. He is a true gentleman and is growing to be a Godly man.
  • Wonderful Memories

    Wonderful Memories
    The day my grandma died was the saddest day of my life. However, all of the happy memories I have of my grandma make up for the sadness. She was the type of grandma that ate boiled peanuts with me while rooting for her favorite Roller Derby team.
  • CentriFuge

    CentriFuge
    When I went to church camp during the Summer of '07, I chose Missions as my extra daily activity. Every day during that week we would go to an apartment complex with lower class families, round up the kids, and play games. We talked to them about Jesus, let them paint on our faces, and played on the playground. Here I am pictured with a 6 year old boy, Devon.
  • Special Education

    This is a picture of me with Pierre, a very special boy I had the opportunity to get to know my junior year of high school. His positive attitude made it impossible to be sad around him.
  • The Birds and the Bees

    The Birds and the Bees
    My Uncle Junior from Grand Bay, Alabama is one of the greatest men I know. He taught me about the birds and the bees, literally. He has his own bee farm and sales honey.
  • The Forestry Festival

    This is a picture of my loving friend, Tiffanie, and me before performing at the annual Forestry Festival. I sang in a group called the Madrigals, and Tiffanie danced for the Dynamic Dance Dimensions. Tiffanie is my parents' third daughter.

    Before Christmas of 2008, my brother and I played Joseph and Mary in the Christmas drama performed by our church.

    This is my family in church after my parents renewed their wedding vows. I have been a member of Forest Avenue Baptist Church since I was 13.
  • The Sound of Music

    The Sound of Music
    Although I am not a music expert, I have always enjoyed musicals, plays, and operas. Throughout High School I was in a group called the Aggie Singers. My Senior Year we performed "The Sound of Music". I played the 5th child, Brigitta, who is not afraid to speak her mind, but usually prefers to read.
  • Senior Prom

    Senior Prom
    This is a picture of my good friends, Abby and Tiffanie, and me at our senior prom. We were inseparable throughout high school. Although we don't talk as much now, we are still there for each other.
  • High School Graduation

    I was sad to have to leave my high school and friends, but I was blissfully happy to have reached one major goal in my life and continue on in the never ending journey.

    This was one of the happiest days of my life... going to college at the University of South Alabama!
