My move to Arizona
This was probably one of the biggest transitions I've ever been through. I had to to start a new life at a completely different place. Chicago is so much diffferent from Phoenix, but I love both these cities so much and I couldn't imagine not living in Arizona now! My mother was the most signifcant person in my life at this time. The move proved how strong she is for both me and my sister.

New addition to the family

The passing of my Grandmother
This was a low point in my life because I was extremely close to my grandmother. She was the person I went to for problems I couldn't talk to my parents about and she always was so understanding. She was and still is someone I turn to for guidance, although it may be a spiritual presense now rather than her physically being here. She passed from breast cancer, but fought it hard for nine years prior. -
My first day of Highschool!

Graduated Highschool
Graduating highschool was difficult and exciting. My best friends ended up picking different colleges to attend so it was hard to let them go. But, it meant I was getting a fresh start and the chance to meet new, amazing people! The most signifacant people during this time for me was my friends I've made throughout the years. They are some of the most honest and caring people I've ever met and have impacted me tremendously. -
My move to ASU
The best decision of my life was entering college and persuing my dreams. Although at this point in my life I wasn't clear on what my career would be or what I would major in, I still took on a lot of responsibilities and really changed my life around. My parents expected a lot from me during this time, but they both had faith in me that I would make the right choices on my own.
