I was born in Norfolk, Virginia at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital. I have lived in the Chesapeake region of Virginia for most of my life and it is where I currently reside. According to my mom I couldn't wait to be born and the doctors had to catch me quickly. I was a pretty happy and content child, meaning I had a lot of trust for those around me that were caring for me. The only thing I didn't trust at the time was when I couldn't have my way all the time, which made me question whether or not I could trust the response of my parents at time. This aligns with Erikson's stage of psychosocial development trust vs. mistrust.

9/23/2008: The day my little sister was born

# data[].attributes.body
My sister was born the next year after I was born. I was very excited to have a new sibling and couldn't wait to get into trouble alongside with her. Having a new sibling meant new responsibilities for me, but of course I didn't make it easy for my mom to take care of the both of us.

Two years, after my little sister was born, my little brother, Tyrie, was born. My sister and I were both very excited to have another sibling and my mom now officially had her hands full taking care of all three of us while my dad was deployed.

This was when I graduated Kindergarten. I had a lot of fun in kindergarten, but spent it in two different schools. Initially, I was going to pre-k in Chesapeake, but once my dad was stationed in Northern Virginia I finished the rest of the year in a preschool up there. I made a lot of new friends and had a lot of fun. My favorite memory was going on a field trip to a strawberry field and getting a dirt baby to take care of! I always insisted on doing all of my homework by myself, which marked the start of my independence, which is a part of the autonomy vs. shame and doubt stage of Erikson's psychosocial development.

2012-2013: Gaining an interest in tumbling and gymnastics

# data[].attributes.body
As a child, I was very active. I enjoyed being wild and doing anything I please. Something I enjoyed doing when I was 5-6 years old was doing cartwheels, handstands, and flipping in my great grandparents backyard. This aligns with the initiative aspect of the initiative vs. guilt stage of Erikson's psychosocial stages of development. I was never discouraged from doing tumbling, which was something I enjoyed. My great grandpa referred to me as the future Gabbie Douglas. I was only ever scolded if what I wanted to do was perceived as dangerous or harmful.

While I was in 1st grade, I got my dog Bella. She is a black pitbull and is the sweetest dog ever. Although she was not the first pet I had, she was the first long-term pet I got. Bella always ensures that our household remains safe and provides us with comfort. She is currently 12 in people years.

September 2015 marked the start of 3rd grade at Greenbrier Intermediate. On the first day of school I met my best friend, Quinn, at the swings during recess. We hit it off immediately and began to hang out a lot outside of school. Our favorite thing to do together is have sleepovers and go to Busch gardens throughout the school year.

8/14/2017: The day that my second little brother was born

# data[].attributes.body
During the summer of 5th grade, my other little brother, Noah, was born. He was born in Chesapeake Regional Hospital. I loved having another little sibling because it meant that I could take care of him like he was one of my barbie dolls. As the oldest sibling, I was mostly responsible for looking after him, changing his diapers, and keeping him entertained. Being able to help raise him was one of the most definitive and exciting moments in my life. I think that this can align with industry vs, inferiority as I was developing skills and taking responsibility for my new sibling. Contributing to helping my mom caused me to be praised for helping out, making me feel confident in playing such a significant role in his life.

I also really enjoyed Minecraft during this time!

Throughout 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic, I struggled to find myself and maintain my own personal identity. During this time I became really obsessed with anime and doing other things that my friends liked. Throughout this time, I also lost myself and confidence. This caused me to become very self-conscious and more introverted, which was a drastic change from who I was before the pandemic. I consider this to be identity vs. role confusion, as I was confused about who I really was during this time.

April 2022: First time going to Disney World and Universal!

# data[].attributes.body
During the spring break of my freshman year of high school, my family and I traveled to Orlando, Florida. While we were there, we stayed at the Disney Key West Resort and went to both Disney World and Universal Studios. I had a lot of fun since it was my first time ever going. However, I liked Universal better since they have more roller coasters and interactive rides.

Present: I Got In ACCESS College Commitment Day

# data[].attributes.body
The most recent event I went to was the Access foundation College Commitment Day event. I recently committed to VCU, which is where I will be attending college for the next four years, starting in fall. I had a lot of fun and it was a good break from school for a few hours. The only thing I didn't appreciate was how bright the t-shirts were.

On June 18th, 2025 at 9:30am, I will be attending my high school graduation. I will be graduating with honors, IB, and a 4.5/4.6 gpa. As a senior in IB, I am extremely excited to be done with exams and school for a little bit before the next chapter of my life begins. Im going to college with some of my friends and boyfriend and I can't wait to see where life takes me and all the new people I'll meet along the way!

# data[].attributes.body
In August of 2025, I will be starting my first year of college at VCU. Here I will pursue a pre-nursing major (I might change it in the future) and minor in psychology with aspirations of being either a nurse anesthetist or anesthesiologist. I hope that I will maintain good grades and a stable job throughout the school year (hopefully all A's?) while also making sure to have fun with friends. Go Rams!

In the summer after my freshman year of college, I hope to travel back to Orlando and Universal Studios with my family. I am looking forward to riding all of the rides, such as the velocicoaster. I am also looking forward to being able to enjoy the new Epic Universe realm and Mario area of the amusement park!

May 2029: Achieve my first college degree

# data[].attributes.body
In May of 2029, I will have graduated from my first four year of college with my bachelors degree. After this, I will most likely go to school again to pursue a higher degree of education for my future career as an anesthesiologist.

Throughout college and my many years of schooling, I hope to remain with my current boyfriend and get married to him in the spring of 2033. Hopefully we will be financially stable enough as we both have completed our bachelor's degree in college. This aligns with the intimacy vs isolation stage of life as I will choose to have a lifelong relationship with my current partner.

# data[].attributes.body
After another four years of college, I will hopefully graduate medical school and get matched to my desired career in a close place of residency. Before starting my residency I will have to save up a lot of money and hopefully have my husband be the sole provider of income for a little bit.

One of my biggest goals in life is to be able to travel to other parts of the world with my partner. I hope to travel to many places both in the country and out of the country. I have always wanted to travel throughout Europe and Singapore. I have a feeling that I will have a lot of fun and enjoy all of the new scenery I will encounter while traveling. As someone who has never been out of the country this is a really big thing to me!

# data[].attributes.body
After many years of dreadful schooling and residency, I will hopefully finish my residency at a hospital close to home so that I can finally start my career as an anesthesiologist. After residency, I will hopefully secure a job at the same hospital and make a good amount of money.

Sometime in 2037: Obtain a stable job as an anesthesiologist

# data[].attributes.body
After many years of schooling and residency, I will have hopefully been able to obtain a job as an anesthesiologist. Hopefully in this moment, all the blood, sweat and tears put into schooling will pay off as I will be making around 300-400k per year. At this point in life I will be in stage 7: generativity vs. stagnation. This stable income will hopefully make me feel a sense of purpose in the field and path of life I have chosen as it has payed off immensely.

After a long, fun, and successful life, I will be the age 98 and finally meet my end. At least by this time I will have hopefully met all my goals and aspirations in life. This will be the time I reach the final stage of Erikson's psychosocial development, which is ego vs. despair. I will reflect on my life and my many accomplishments with pride and satisfaction, fostering my ego. I will peacefully leave this world during my sleep, ensuring that my last day is as peaceful as the last years of my life were. I would also like to be buried in a pretty casket, preferably incorporating the color pink and having gold embellishments.
