death of my momma
Loosing my mom cause me to be the strong young woman i am today. I grew up with men, so Ive learned to be less physically emotional than most girls. I don't show emotion very often unless its strong. I have also become very independent, because i never really had a mother figure to help out wth feminine things. -
whooping cough
When i was 5 i got Pertussis (whooping cough) we went to Denver, and came home to me having symptoms of the flu. the symptoms moved to just mucus in my throat and my dad took me to the doctor where they diagnosed me with pertussis. I was in the hospital for 4-5 weeks. they said it was one of the worst cases they had seen in years. I was close to dying. it shaped me into the woman i am today because it made me stronger, and more aware of how bad things REALLY can get. -
the day my dad got out of prison
i will never forget the day my dad got our of prison, hugging him was the best feeling I've ever felt. the time without him felt so long, because he was all i had. my grandmother did a fantastic job of keeping me sane & keeping my head up high. It shaped me into the woman i am because a sense of loss is always devastating, but waiting and knowing the person is coming back is a great feeling. it makes your patience better and it makes me cherish the time i have with people before they are gone. -
first day in high school
My first day in high school was a BIG day for me. Everything changed. I was almost an adult, and i was beginning the four year that would determine the rest of my whole life. It was crazy, now i am a junior. It seems like only yesterday that i was in the 8th grade. it shaped me because it shows how fast time goes by, and to cherish every moment you have. -
got diagnosed with pharyngeal cysts/ possible cancer
when the doctors diagnosed me with this it totally changed my outlook on things, I've never really put my tonsils first because i never though it was a big deal. They said if i didn't get my tonsils out i COULD die, they were just making it clear how servere it was. I've always been scared of cancer and after we realized we couldn't afford it, i became more responsible with money and saving, and how i can earn it.
