Family

I grew up with a close liberal family with 2 parents and one older sister in a small house in Arvada, Colorado. My dad is a school administrator and my mom works at Cherry Creek Medical Center for UCHealth, and now is a manager. My sister and I have been close these past few years but we were kinda enemies when we were kids. She used to lock me in our garage overnight but shes gotten past that.

Where I live

I've lived in a few different locations all in Colorado. I was born in a small house in Olde Town, Arvada, which is pretty liberal, at least in the part I lived in. I lived there till I was about 7 years old, then I moved to a bigger townhouse in Westminster. We only lived there for almost a year, then moved into the house I do now in Thornton.

I am Gen Z, I believe we tend to lean on the liberal side, as we are progressive and we don't really know what life was like back then.

I went to 3 different elementary schools, changing every time I moved houses. I went to Rocky Top Middle School for all three years and I go to Horizon High School.
