Born
I was brought into this beautiful world on September 9, 1997. I'm thankful for being raised with the Man and woman who made me and I'm proud to call them my parents. -
Met My best friend.
A few weeks after I started kindergarten I met this amazing girl named Delaney. I couldn't imagine a life without her. I've never lived close to her, we've always been an hour or more away from each other. I've gone a year without seeing her but every time we meet it's like we never left. My best friend is my other and better half. She's always been the "good kid" who encouraged me to do better. She is part of the reason of who I am today. -
The bad thing
I've had trust issues, insecurities, and became extremely Antisocial because of this. One day after school this person I had known for a while convinced me to hangout with them at their house. Hours went by and my mom had been searching for me, little did she know I was locked inside a house with someone trying to do inappropriate things to me. I told my Mom weeks later and she went to the police. I felt like it was all my fault. No child should ever go through this. It was a big impact. -
Moved
My parents sold our house in GIlbert and moved to SanTan Valley. This was a big thing when I was young, all I knew was that house. The house I was born and raised in. It was time though, 9 people living in a 3 bedroom. My parents bought that house when they only had two kids and one on the way. It's not the house I miss it's the memories within. -
Brother moved out
My oldest brother moved out of the house in 2006. It was weird not having him around. my brother and I are 11 years apart so he was another father figure to me as well as a best friend. The house felt empty when he moved out. Now that he's older and done with schooling I can see him all the time. He actually lives literally 3 minutes of my current house. -
Mothers hospitalization
My Mom was Hospitalized for about 2 weeks in ICU. She was diagnosed with COPD and Emphysema. I took school off the entire time she was there so I could take care of her. It was my decision to skip school. I think my family is more important. My mom is my best friend. I can tell her anything, as a matter of fact I literally do tell her EVERYTHING. There's nothing I've done that she doesn't know about. I can remember the last time I lied to her, 3 years ago. I never lie. -
Bad decisions
My first year of high school was my worst year, I over came myself of my past which is great but I got into bad things. I finally dressed in colos and wore boots and heals. I've always loved fashion. Anyways I became popular but with the wrong crowed. I began smoking and doing drugs. It made me forget and live in the moment. I'm glad this phase didn't last long. I realized it wasn't going to fix my prrblems, I'll just forget about them. This made me a better person. Drugs are never the answer. -
Belly Dancing
I went to the war reenactment with my best friend and got to belly dance for the first time. This was seriously the most life changing event. At "War" you have to dress period and you camp there for weeks at a time. You get to experience how people were living many years ago during war time. Times were scary yet very fun. If I could go back in time and whitness it first hand I would. However, I'm greatful for everything I have now. -
Server at Ihop
Becoming a server was the best thing to ever happen to me. I was forced to talk to people I didn't know. I was always terrified to speak to others I wasn't familiar with but I then realized not everyone will hurt you. Ihop made me an overall better person. -
Moved Back to Gilbert
I moved back to Gilbert after almost 10 years. San Tan valley was promised so many things which were forgotten about. I lived 13 miles from the nearest gas station, it was horrible. I personally believe that living in the middle of nowhere made me appreciate the city more. I didn't think much of it until I actually moved back and I couldn't be happier.
