Father Goes To Prison
My father went to prison when I was two. He was sentenced 8.5 to 20 years. My mom took my brother and I for a walk to try to explain it to us. Thi sday changed my life because I had to learn to grow up without my father in my life. -
Bandaid Gum
When I was 5 I stole a pack of gum from the gas station because my mom wouldn't buy it for me. Once she found out she made me take it back and apologize for taking it. This made me realize that stealing was bad and that I shouldn't do it ever again. -
Josh and Mckenzie
I met my step siblings Josh and Mckenzie at Jonathan's house. I remember I scared Mckenzie because I pushed Jonathan's little sister Dani and she fell on the ground. It was the summer so it was hot and we went swimming in the pond. Josh and Mckenzie have become a very important part of my life since then. -
Taylor is Born
My cousin Taylor was born January 20th, 2009 at 8:02am. She was 6lbs 2oz and 19 inches long. I remember I hated her when she was born because she got all the attention that was mine before she was born. This is what really taught me that the world didn't revolve around me. -
Father Gets out of Prison
When my father got out of prison I was at my grandpas house. I saw him through the glass door and I remember running out and hugging him. I finally had my father back in my life after 8.5 years of not having him. -
Smoking
When I was 11 my older sisters made me smoke with them. We were on the roof late one night, I thought it was really gross. This made me realize smoking is disgusting and I never wanted to do it ever again. -
Logan's Note
I went with my sister Haley to get some pills out of my brother's room late one night. I was helping her look for them and I found a suicide note my brother had wrote. She told me not to tell and she would 'take care of it' so I didn't tell but when my dad yelled at me for not telling. I learned that if I think something could be dangerous to not keep it to myself. -

Joining Cheerleading
In 7th grade I joined the sideline cheer team. I was scared to try out but in the end I did and I got on the team. I've done every season of cheer since. (Sideline Football, Sideline Basketball, Competitive) Cheerleading has become a big part of my life since then and I am very dedicated to the sport. -
First House
We got our first house as a family in September and moved in in October. We had to put a lot of work into it and it has come really far in the past few years. Evan was the first friend that went in my house. This made my family feel more independent as a family. -
Dad's Divorce
My dad got divorced in 2013. It was really hard on me because his ex-wife had 4 kids I was really close with and I couldn't see them much anymore. I have 7 siblings including steps on my dads side and I don't really ever see them anymore. It changed my life because all of my siblings are separated now. -
Cheer Camp
I went to my first cheerleading camp this summer at Great Wolf Lodge and it was so much fun. I learned a lot of new techniques and fun things at camp. This brought my team a lot closer and we all really became more unified as a team. -
Florida
My mom and I went to Florida this summer to visit my brother and sisters that live in Sebring. While we were there I hatched an alligator at Gatorama. It was really hard to leave because I don't get to see my brother a lot. I really realized the true value of family, even if they aren't biological family. -
Highschool
This was by far the worst school experience I ever had. I almost cried when I walked into the building and I was late to a lot of classses. It was really hot so I had to change into my shirt I brought for cheer practgice that day. I learned that nothing stays the same and how to adapt to new environments.
