Khrista's life story

Birthday

Feb 6, 1998

February 6th is when my mom brought me into the world. I was born on a cold winters day and my grandma held me a lot. The winter Olympics were going on my birthday.

Walking

Aug 28, 1999

At 18 months is when I started walking. I was a little late because I have a disability. This was my first step to being independent.

Being independent

At age 2 is when I first got potty trained. This was yet another step to my independence. I remember getting a Polly Pocket toy for doing so well.

Starting school

Aug 29, 2003

At age 5 is when I started school at Settlers Point elementary. This is when I started making friends. This was probably my favorite grade because I had a really nice teacher named Mrs. Fox.

First pet

At age 7 is when I got my first dog named Zoey. Zoey is the love of my life because she is so cute and nice. She is now 10 years old and still as cute as can be.

Very first surgery

Aug 29, 2006

At age 8 is when I had my very first surgery where they put a screw into my left foot. I have a long history of surgery's on my left foot because I was born deformed. At age 15 was when I had my 5th and final surgery.

I moved to Billings, Montana

I got my very own hamster

At age 12 I got my very own hamster named baby. He was the nicest hamster and he loved to roll around in his ball. When I got him he was already old so he died when I was 13.

Arizona

At age 14 I moved back to Arizona to live with my grandma. I once again moved with my grandma, sister, and our dog Daisy. My mom moved back when I was 15.
