Pre-school first friend that my parents didn't pick for me
When I started preschool when I was three I became good friends with a girl named Corinne. We quickly became best friends and are still very close friends to this day. Our sisters and our parents are still friends as well. -
Second time getting stitches
This time made me deathly afraid of needles until about the age of 19. My sister and I were playing, and I decided to stand in a tall "Toss Across" Box over tile floor. My sister handed me a jump rope and decided to pull me. I fell chin first on the tile and needed 2 layers of stitches. This was very traumatic for me as a four year old and left more then physical scares. This left a terrible fear of needles and shots, which never existed prior to that moment. -
Kindergarten/ first enemy/ Met my school years best friend
My first enemy was made on the very first day of kindergarten. She was a very shy girl and I was very outgoing. She didn't really talk at all, and it upset because I thought she was being mean when she was really just being shy. So I insulted her picture. Later during recess she kicked over my blocks. Our teacher decided that the next day we would be partners on an assignment and had to sit next to each other. We have been best friends ever since. -
Dance
I started dancing in kindergarten and it has been a huge part of my life ever since. I have done Tap, Jazz, Ballet, Pointe, Hip hop, lyrical, and contemporary. I even has taught classes. -
First teacher who understood me as a learner/ADHD
Around the beginnings of 2nd grade, I had been diagnosed with ADHD. I was always somewhat of a wild child, couldn't sit still, and needed to be moving. This teacher rather then forcing me to sit down during lessons, let me walk around as long as I was paying attention (meaning I was always called on at least 1-3x a lesson). This made a huge impact on me as a learner. Rather then screaming at me she encouraged me. This changed my entire outlook on school and learning. -
My love of Harry Potter begins
I went to see the opening night showing of Harry Potter 1 with my sister and her 6th grade class with their teacher at midnight! I was hooked ever since (going to book release parties and every single opening night premiere of Harry Potter) -

Car Crash
I was in a horrific car accident. This changed my perspective on life and many other things in life.

This is what started my healing process and made me start to move forward with my life again after my break up -
