I was born on a rainy day at 11pm in the middle of fall. I am my parents' very first daughter/baby. I was blessed enough to be born on the same day as my grandpa who I love very much.

On 05/18/2010 My only sibling was born. I was four at the time and I remember feeling very jealous of her the day she arrived at my house. She had all the attention and I didn't. This made me hate my sister when I was younger. As we both get older we grow closer and closer together.

My First Day of School

My parents wanted my first day of preschool to feel very special so my baby sister was dropped off at my grandparents. I made a lot of new friends and my teacher all made me and my classmates a book with letters to us in the future.

Family vacation

My earliest memory of a family vacation was very special to me because it was the very first time I every saw a beach. My parents took me and my sister on a road-trip down to long beach. On that same weekend we were lucky enough to be taken to Disneyland!

Sports

My dad would play soccer and I would always enjoy it when he would take me to the fields to play with him. I was once in a soccer league from the age 6-12. I was also in gymnastics. I loved soccer and it became my dream to be able to play soccer professionally. The dream sadly faded away.

In 2016, I started middle school. The first year went great because it was a new school I was attending and I was making a lot of new friends. Everything went great until A new girl attended my school and turned all my friends against me, Which led to bullying. The bullying lasted throughout my 7th and 8th grade year.

Sadly, my parents divorced the summer going into highschool (9th grade). This was a very sad time in my life because that same day they broke the news to me my dad moved out. This summer I also experienced moving out of my childhood home and into two separate houses. This took a really rough toll on me and my sister.

Highschool

The bullying stopped going into High School which was great! I was given my first ever Iphone. I was allowed to have social media, which widened a whole new world for me. I loved going to high School and being able to learn new things even though it was a bit challenging. I attended all of the A.P and honors classes. My dream career was to become a great business woman.

I became very close with my grandparents because my sister, mom and me moved in with them when my parents divorced. They would always teach me life lessons and would give me great advice about school, friends, and boys. I was incredibly lucky to have such great grandparents. They sadly passed away within the past two years.

Graduation Day!

I loved my graduation day. It felt very special to me because I felt very accomplished. This feeling made my doubts about college go away. I want to relive the feeling of accomplishment again so I want to be able to get my Bachelors degree and my Masters.

College!!

Although, I am a second year I have already learned so much about college. Yes, college can be very hard at first but once I got the hang of it I love college. I am an introvert so it is very challenging for me to make friends in which I connect with but I have gotten better at that.
