First Memory
This was when I found a baby bunny in our backyard. I just recall a deep sense of wonder that I could find something so truly wild and wonderful so close to home. -
First Day of Kindergarten
My first day of school I insisted on wearing a big fancy dress that I had just gotten, brand new. I knew the day was important, even if I wasn't sure why. Looking back I'm proud of myself for being brave enough to make an impression. -
Covid Closing the Country
I vividly remember the moment during spring break of 7th grade when it was announced we wouldn't be returning to school. We were in Disney World and my brother and I had been fantasizing about school being closed for 2 weeks. I could not get over the shock when it was announced the rest of the year would be spent at home. -
Heartbreak
First heartbreaks are difficult, however, mine was unique in the sense it was platonic. Learning that the people you consider your closest friends were the reason you had lost yourself is a painful truth. Now I am able to reflect and know that I've grown because of it. -
Friends of my Own
I learned that trust should be earned and not given freely, which led me to meet wonderful friends who have turned my life around for the better. With them, I'm sure my high school experience will be something positive to look back on. -
Graduation
I'm sure this will be an integral part of my life. Moving on to college will be the next big step, but for now, I hope graduation will be a day of joy. -
College
I'm truly hoping I get into a college I love. Filled with friends and brand-new experiences. -
Dream Job
My dream job is doing something I love to help people. I want to be able to travel but at the same time be secure in my income. Truly I would love to be a writer, but anything to help improve the world, even a little bit, I would love. -
Travel the World
My lifelong dream/goal is to travel. I want to see and do everything, and never be stuck in a life that I hate or regret. Most of all I want to say I lived my life to the fullest, through any heartbreak or love I need to be able to say I dared to try. -
Love
Personally, romantic love is not something I feel would be necessary for my happiness, but it would be nice. Getting married surrounded by my family, with the hopes of children with as much wanderlust as me would be the perfect end to my story. -
What does your time line tell you about yourself?
Through all of my stories and dreams it is clear that I feel deeply, and what I want most in the world is to be happy. Every one of my memories is centered around me being who I am with the hope that I never lose my spark. -
How different would you be if you could have changed one or two events along your line?
I think without covid or losing my closest friends I would have been a worse version of myself. Meeker and afraid to rock the boat, someone cowed by others. I would have silently admired the person I've become today and nothing could make me prouder. -
How flexible or fixed does your future seem to be?
In almost all of my events, it's simply an overview. Everything is open to change which is the only true way to plan for the future. Focus too hard on it being perfect and opportunities will be lost. I have hopes that I will work towards but am also open to new dreams. Life is unpredictable and it can never be known what may occur so it's best to go with the flow.
