The day I was born
When I was born was important to me because that's what began my life. This event really didn't affect me as much as it did the people around me. My mom began a new life. -

My Life

Met my siblings
I met my siblings when I was little over a year old. This was important to me because my brothers would do anything in their power to make sure I'm safe. I will forever be thankful for them. -
My mom going to prison
When I was almost four, probably the most traumatic experience happened to me. My mom got taken out of my life and was sent to prison. I never quite understood what was going on, but I know I cried daily until she got out. -
My mom got out of prison!
My mom finally got out of prison and I couldn't be happier. I finally had my best friend back and I felt on top of the world. I will forever be grateful for this day. -
Meeting my best friend
I was about six when I met my best friend Dedra. We met each other through the church we went to. our grandmas would sit together and Dedra and I would run around and play together. Almost 11 years later and we're still best friends. -
My first true heartbreak
In the summer of 2013, I met someone that would change my life forever. I thought I found the "love of my life". I spent two and a half years of my life with Johnny. During that two years I let him cheat on me and disrespect me until I finally found the courage to leave. -
Going through depression
A couple months after meeting Johnny and knowing I was being cheated on and disrespected, I began getting severly depressed. I never felt good enough, I didn't feel pretty, and quite honestly I didn't think anyone would care if I died or not. I began self harming and ended up almost taking my life, It took that experience to realize how many people truly do care. -
Getting in a rollover car accident
We rolled off a 25+ foot embankment, Neither of us were seatbelts and I had to be flown out to the valley. I had internal bleeding in my head between my skull and my scalp. I had a large cut on my back from the windshield and I had a shattered tail bone. ( This is not an accurate picture) -
Moving in with my mom !
After 12 years of not living with my mom nor my mom having custody, as my 15th birthday present, I was allowed to move back in with my mom. It was a chance for my mom and I to develop the mother/daughter relationship we never really got to create. -
Starting online school
Starting online school gave me the option to work at my own pace. In regular high school I probably wouldn't have been able to graduate because of the credits I was missing. With online, I have the ability to make up those credits quickly.
