  • Big Move

    Big Move
    On October 24th, 2001 my family decided to move from California to Arizona. I was very young so I don't have much memory of living in California. The main reason my family decided to move is because my uncle already had plans to move out here. My father and my uncle are really close brothers, so my father decided to move too so they wouldn't be far apart.
  • Unite

    Unite
    In 2004 I began pre-school where i soon met my present day best friend. We first met one day when we were placed next to each other during naptime and after that we began playing and hanging out and later discovered we lived in the same neighborhood. After that we continued to go to the same Elementary, Middle, and High school and this year we will graduate together as the same best friends from 2004.
  • Horrible Loss

    Horrible Loss
    2005 was a horrible year for me as a 5 year old. I lost the one person that Is closest to my heart, my father. He was everything a child could ask for. I may have been very young but he was my best friend and have many loving memories with him. Before his passing I was very attached, we spent lots of one on one time. The most heartbreaking part of it all is that I would constantly ask about his return but as time went on i realized that he wouldn't so may he rest in paradise.
  • Goodbye...

    Goodbye...
    This was a very sad day for me, this was the day my brother joined the Marines and left for boot camp where we would not hear from him for six months. I was strongly effected because since the day I was born we were always together. we grew up and lived together since day one and to see him go was devastating for me. However, i'm extremely proud of him, he is presently referred to as staff sergeant and is an amazing marine and brother.
  • Abby

    Abby
    Since I came along I never had a sibling or close family member younger then me so when I discovered my sister was pregnant I was beyond excited because I would finally have someone to bond and spend time with. On June 1st, 2008 I became an auntie for the first time to my niece Abby. She is now 10 years old and I love her with all my heart, she's my best friend. She's such a beautiful, loving, joyful, and Kind being. She's extremely outgoing and not to mention very flexible.

    A couple years after my niece was born my sister got pregnant with her second child. She had a little boy, his name is Joe and he is now 8 years old and extremely active. He has ADHD meaning he is always hyper and he's very aggressive but he is also a very intelligent and kind boy.

    Sad Move

    In 2014 my family and I decided I would move to live with my sister in Santa Barbara, California. At first I was very excited I thought I would be happier because I was now closer to all my family and would meet new people. However, after a couple years I decided I wasn't happy because I missed living here in Arizona and my sisters schedule was way to busy for me to adapt so in 2016 I decided to move back in with my mom and I honestly think I made the best decision for myself.
  • Freshman year

    freshman year for me was very scary because i had just moved to a new state and i was terrified. it was very hard for me to make friends because i've always super shy but i didnt like being the new kid so i made friends not realizing they were really bad influences on me. i started ditching school and going out with my "friends"
  • Senior year

    Senior year has been really exciting and stressful for me. Fun because I've made a lot of new friends I know will be around after graduation and stressful because I think I've led myself to allow myself to get behind and its something I really need to work on. Its also my finals months of being in school after 13 constant years and its actually really sad and heartbreaking for me.
