    Chandi Ahmed's Timeline

  • I learn how to walk

    Yes, I was a late bloomer, but from that moment on, exploring foreign places on my own seemed wonderful

  • I get sick with a terrible flu going around, causing a permanent twitch on her left eye.

    Yes, because of that I have a permanent twitch in my left eye. I don't really know how it happened, probably a nerve effected by the virus, but I guess it is what it is.

  • I paint my first piece of art

    As a little girl, I always watched my grandmother paint, but finally I got to paint myself. I now keep this safe in my sketchbook where no one can find it.

  • My brother, Kwan is born

    Kwan, my first brother was a miracle. I was overjoyed when he made it, considering he was a premature baby that weighed only a few pounds.

  • My brother, Sabir is born

    Sabir Ahmed was born, and it was an amazing point in my life. I loved children and now I was old enough to understand the miracle of life.

  • My dad gets me my first paint kit

    This was such an exciting day. My mom never approved of art, but my dad was all for it. My mom used to. That's actually how they met, at an art gallery. I still have this kit he snuck me hidden in my small bag I took to America.

  • I'm sexually assaulted...

    My uncle was very drunk and we were at a family get together. I don't want to say any more, considering it is a delicate subject. My innocence was taken from me, and no matter how much I try to ignore the memory, it pops up. My mother slapped me for saying such a thing and lying to her face about her own brother. Little did she know I wasn't lying.

  • My mother looses her job, causing the family to move.

    It was rough. We went from a huge house, to a small one and it was hard to adjust, but we got through it because we had each other.

  • Someone bullied me physically, causing me to have a broken arm

    Yes, kids at my school bullied me. Someone at my school got mad at me for "budging", when in reality I had been there the whole time. My mom didn't belive me.

  • My sister, Megh is born

    I was so happy to have a sister! After getting all rough with the boys, it was fun but I wanted a girl so I could tell her all the tips and tricks of being a girl.

  • My dad leaves

    In the middle of the night,I guess my father decides he doesn't want the burden of children anymore, leaving me and my mom with two kids and an infant to care for. I don't really know why he left, but I miss him. A lot.

  • Megh dies of malaria

    She was so young. I will always remember her. I don't like to talk about her, but I wear her bracelet with me.

  • My grandmother, Abida dies

    This was the artistic grandmother that tought me everything I know. She died peacefully in her sleep, but I'm heartbroken. She was the mom I longed to have.

  • I am diagnosed with extreme anxiety and AvPD

    AvPD is a disorder that makes it seems as if you are disliked by everyone and fear rejection. That's what i was diagnosed with along with anxiety, and my mom still thinks I'm faking it and refuses to take meds.

  • A flood wipes out our house

    A flood sweeps our house and we lose everything. I think that was the tipping point where my mom was sick of us living like this, so we moved.

  • I have my first panic attack, making me even more anxious

    I don't really know what happened. I just knew I wasn't in control of my body anymore, and I just kind of blacked out. Of course, mom didn't belive that one either.

  • Me, my mother, and my two siblings move to America

    Seeking better jobs and living conditions, my family moves from Bangladesh to the U.S, landing in Detroit, Michigan. It was probably the best day of my life. I have dreamed of travelling for so long, and America no less!

  • I start my new school

    Not even halfway through the first day I was bullied, and it just continues to cycle over and over.

  • I meet Tate

    The biggest bully of our new school. He doesn't seem all that bad actually. I feel like he is just faking his cruelty for popularity and status. I don't know who he is, but part of me wants to find out.

  • I meet Carlie

    My lifesaver. Carlie is my best friend, and is always at my side. She's amazing.
