Birth
Well, I was born this day. This first day I breathed in air. I stopped my parents from going to a fish fry on the day I was born. This day is the reason I’m alive. -
My first ankle surgery
Disenchanted - My Chemical RomanceThis marked the first of many surgeries to come and so many doctors appointments. My first surgery was on the inside of my left ankle which caused my to go into my first year of school, Kindergarten, with a cast and a boot. I was difference than the other five year olds and because I was different I didn’t have any friends and I was alone for most of my Elementary years. -
My second ankle and first knee surgery
Disenchanted - My Chemical RomanceThese took place in third grade. Outside of my left ankle and the lower part of my right knee. I was out of school for a bit and I had a bad reaction to the medication and the surgical scrubs. I was bedridden for a good while after the operation and even longer after that I was stuck in a wheel chair. During this time in my life I felt completely helpless and useless. I couldn’t do anything for myself, not even simple things like putting on my shoes. -
Getting Mackinzie
Love Me Like You Do - Circa WavesMy family got our dog, Mackinzie. Even if we hadn’t picked her out, she choose us. When we walked up to get her, she lept out of the pen and into my dad’s arms. My sisters and I took care of her when we first got her, but then we slacked off and our parents had to care for the dog. We still love the old goat today even though she can be overbearingly annoying. -
My second knee surgery
This time my second and last knee surgery took place on the upper part of my right knee. While this was my last leg surgery, it was by far the worst one I had experienced. Not only did I miss a good portion of class time of my sixth year, I was also allergic to these medications and surgical scrubs as well. Again I was stuck in my bed and confined to a wheelchair. Not only did I have all those factors working against me, but this time I had to teach myself to walk all over again. -
Getting into Early College
Whether or not I had been accepted into the Early College program was literally going to shape my entire future. I really don’t know what I would have done in a regular high school if I had been rejected. I actually couldn’t see myself in a regular high school at all. -
Moving Taylor to College
Close As Strangers - 5 Seconds Of SummerMy older sister was moving out of the house and into her dorm room. This meant I could finally get some privacy and peace (her room is connected to mine, a.k.a. she has to walk through my room to get to hers). I was also really sad to see her leaving. My big sister was moving out, and while we fight a lot, like A LOT, she was still my sister and I still loved her. -
My grandmother’s funeral
Wait - M83This was an extremely sad and depressing time for me and my family. My grandmother, my father’s mother, had been hospitalized and the doctors didn’t even know what was going on with her. My family was very close to her and see her in pain was heartbreaking. While she was in the hospital, after being sent to a rehabilitation living center and then back to the hospital, she passed away. The funeral was held not too long afterwards. There were many tears and broken hearts. -
Auditioning for The Wizard of Oz
Favourite Record - Fall Out BoyAuditioning for any show at any time for anyone is absolutely terrifying. Nerve racking is a partial way to describe the feeling you get during an audition. Whether or not I get cast in the show or what part I get, the beauty is not the audition. The beauty of an audition isn’t the role you get, it is the experience you get. -
Youth Theatre Board Senior Youth Leader
Bravado - LordeBecause being compared to my older sister isn’t enough, now I have to try and filled her shoes as Senior Youth Leader. Of course being the perfect child she is and how everyone loves her regardless, she went above and beyond with her duties as Senior Youth Leader and left a gap the size of the Grand Canyon for the following Senior Youth Leaders have to fill. -
Graduate High School
All These Things I’ve Done - The KillersI finally made it. I finally got to graduate from High School. I no longer have to do countless hours of seemingly pointless homework and be worried about utterly and hopelessly failing all of my classes because college classes are far easier than high school classes. -
Going to College
All These Things I’ve Done - The KillersMy opportunity to live away from my parents and sister(s) for a while. I can finally be independent and have some freedom that I never had. I obviously will miss my family and my friends back home, but hopefully my new friends will be just as tolerant as my older friends. -
Haylah and Taylor’s Graduations
SongMy older sister and my younger sister are graduating. Taylor from College and Haylah from High School. No doubt my parents will be a crying mess and proud as peacocks because their “little girl” graduated from a four year college and the “baby of the family” has graduated high school. -
Tour of Europe
Let’s Kill Tonight - Panic! At The DiscoEurope will be so much fun. I will get to spend so much time with my family as we travel across Europe. Per usual we are the typical tourists with our cameras hanging from our necks and ready to snap a picture of all the sights we see. -
College Graduation
Somewhere In Neverland - All Time LowAdulthood. Yay! But really though, adulthood is exciting and I just finished all my schooling. I’ve got my degree and I can start looking for jobs. In high school I thought I couldn’t get out fast enough and I never thought that I would be excited about finding a job. -
Living with my best friend
Simple As This - Jake BuggI can finally live with my best friend. As living with a friend usually goes it great for a while and then you might start to get sick of one another, but you love each other and it’s complicated, but at least you have something to look forward to everyday.
