1st Defining Moment In Life
Age 2: My mom and I got into a bad car wreck that smashed our car in half. My mom had to be airlifted to the hospital and I was okay except for a few cuts and bruises.

3rd Defining Moment In Life
Age 8: My mom had to have surgery a few days before the 4th of July, so we spent July 4th in the hospital and we still had fun. I learned from this that I should take care of myself, but also as long as you're with family you can still have fun on a celebration. -
