Birthday
My birthday is April 7, 2006. (I don't have an actual pic of me as a baby!) -
New house
In 2009 we decided that we needed a bigger home. We looked into a bunch of different areas and houses, and decided on having a team of pros build one for us. Mom says that that was the worst 3 months if her life. They got the house done and with in a few days we were all moved in. -
Asthma, Allergies, and Surgery
At just 3 years old, I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. It is where you stop breathing periodically during the night. You can kind of get the idea of why it's so scary for your parents to hear. Unfortunately at the time, we where in the process of building our house. A few weeks after moving into out new house, we scheduled surgery to have my tonsils and adenoids removed, which would help with my sleep apnea. Them, after my surgery, I was put on breathing treatments, medications. -
Dance
When I was 4 years old, I started dance class at Studio 7 School of Dance. My first class was ballet and tap. I stuck with it and now I am on the Company Tap team as well regular tap and jazz. I have loved it ever since I was little, and always will. -
Elbows and Ladders
About a year after we moved into our new house, my dad and grandpa were checking out the ceiling of our garage.While the boys were in the garage, my mom, grandma, and I were in the house talking.My dad got to the top of the ladder, and lost his balance. We heard a big crashing noise and went out see what it was. My dad fell of the ladder, and it was 12 foot drop onto concrete ground. He shattered his elbow. I have been scared of heights ever since. -
Kindergarden
In 2011, I started school. I has been going to The Learning Ladder for years, and was elated to finally be going to "big school." My mom is a teacher here, and so I didn't have to ride the bus. I was excited at first, but it quickly got boring.I was motivated to work hard by my family, and I have been doing so ever since. -
Baby Brother
At 5 years old, I was informed that I was going to have a sibling. I was thrilled. I was halfway through the school year, but I promised myself that I wouldn't let that distract me from my school work. In April 2011, 2 weeks exactly after my birthday, my baby brother was born. -
Torticollis
Shortly after my brother's birth, he was diagnosed with torticollis. His head laid on his right shoulder, because the muscles in that side of his neck was too weak to keep his head up. My parents were informed that he would have to have physical therapy. If he didn't improve in 4 months, he would have to have to wear a helmet. This would keep him from leaning his head on his neck, and it would build the muscle in his neck. Fortunately, pt helped him, and he didn't have to wear a helmet. -
5th Grade Graduation
In the year of 2016-2017 me, and my class graduated elementary. A few months before the end of school, we had fifth grade graduation. During rehearsals, the teachers said that they chose a valedictorian. And guess who it was, ME! I was elated! I was later told that I would have to come up with a speech to present in front of all of my classmates as well as the parents and teachers. It made me a little(extremely) nervous, but I once I got up there it wasn't so bad. Next stop, middle school. -
Middle School
In the year of 2017-2018 I started 6th grade. The big old middle school. It took a little while to adjust, but I got used to it. We quickly learned all of the rules for the teachers, and got in the routine of things.
