Started School.
I skipped kindergarten, so I started in the first grade. The girl that sat next to me on the first day was already 7, but I was only 5. It was hard being new when a bunch of veterans, but my teacher was really good at catching me up on everything I needed to know. :) -
My First Play!
Theatre has been part of my life for a long time. It has provided me with friends and fun, but also it showed me dicipline and time management. Although I'm not going to be a professional actress like my sister, Theatre will always be something that has completely influenced my life. -
Started High School
Its a big day in everyone's life, Its the beginning of some of the best years of your life. I wasn't quite prepared for all of the homework though.. :) -
Started High School Gymnastics
Its very different from the intense club training I'm used to. It was my first time belonging to a team that cheered for me and always had my back. I also worked very hard for my Varsity letter as a freshman. -
Went to France and Germany
I went to France and Germany with Blue Lake International. I stayed with various host families in different areas of France and Germany over the course of 6 weeks. -
My Sister Moved To New York City
Although she had moved out 4 years earlier to go to college, its different when she's on the other side of the country. When I had performances or big events, she would drive home from college to see them. Now that she's in New York, its too expensive to do that. But we skype regularly to catch up! -
Liam was born.
Liam was born 5 pounds 6 ounces. He is my cousin's son. His parents told me they'd like me to be his "god-mother" (That means if something happened to his parents, they want me to raise him). I was so happy to find out that they trusted me enough to take care of the most precious kid in the whole world. I take care of him all the time and he's had such an big influence on my life. -
Got my Braces off!
I got my braces off on my 16th birthday on my way to Secretary of State to get my license! It was the best feeling in the whole world because I finally had naked teeth! My confidence level went through the roof that day! And of course, I wouldn't stop smiling! :) -
Went To Prom
Prom is one of the best days in a person's high school career. You look and feel like a princess and dance the night away. It was one of the funnest nights of my high school career! :) -
My First Car!!! :)
Although it was over 5 months after I had turned 16 and recieved my license, It felt like my birthday all over again! I came home from gymnastics and my dad said he had a suprise for me. I went upstairs to change out of my leotard and when I came back outside, my car was in the driveway! :) -
High School Graduation
Finally earning that piece of paper that I've worked the past 12 years for. Its my ticket out of Tecumseh and into the real world!
