Juana's Timeline

  • Birth

    Birth
    March 12, 1991 was when I came into this world. I was born in Orange County, California. My mom's name is Silvia Beltran. My mother told me that when I was born she did it all alone, she didn't have a support team with her. Which is a pretty sad way to come into the world. I was her second child at the age of 18.
  • The day I was Baptized

    The day I was Baptized
    I was baptized at the age of four. I remember getting up early in the morning to get ready for the day. We drove all the way from Santa Ana, California to Los Angeles, which is a hour drive just to get to the church. After the ceremony on our way to my party we got in a car accident. My uncle had to get stitches so I spent a lot of the day in the hospital.
  • I moved from California to Washington

    I moved from California to Washington
    At the age of 4 my mother moved me and my older sister to Washingon. She said we were just going to visit, but we never went back. One the plain that day it was my mother and us her kids and my aunt. That day was the first time I ever boarded a plain. I was too young to really miss California.
  • First day of school

    First day of school
    I was beyond excited when my mother first told me I was finally about to be going to school. I rememeber I was too excited to sleep, I ended up staying up all night. I remember waking up my mother instead of her waking me up! I was in a.m. kindergarden so it was ok. I remember being proud of myself, because I did not cry after my mom left. I attended Mark Twain Elementary, in Federal Way.
  • My first communion

    My first communion
    At the age of 9 I preformed my firsft communion. I remember I spent the night at my godmothers house just so she could get me and her daughter ready for the event. Her daughter a year younger then me also had her first communion that day. I rememebr being so proud of myself, becasue you have to have passed sunday school in order to do your first communion. All of the kids in my family who were old enough to attend sunday school signed up, but only four our of the many actually did!
  • No longer the youngest, the birth of my bro

    No longer the youngest, the birth of my bro
    Two months before my 10th birthday my mother gave birth to her third child. The baby was a little boy who she named David Beltran. I most admit I wasn't happy about it at all. I was so used to being the baby of the house I didn't want anyone to take my place. Even though that did end up happening I remember the first time I seen him I instantly feel in love with him. I honestly didn't care that he had all the attention.
  • The birth of my last little brother

    The birth of my last little brother
    Febuary 11, 2003 was when the last of my siblings was born. It was a unique experience, because I got the chance to be there throughtout the whole birth. I remember being mad and didn't want to stay in the hospital with my mom, because it was the same day of my school's Valentines Day party.
  • Freshmen Homecoming

    Freshmen Homecoming
    In October 2004 I went to my freshmen's Homecoming. At the time I attended HIghline HIgh school. This is a mermerable event, because its the first and last time I can rememebr getting all glamorous for an event. Its the last time I wore a dress. I remember getting my hair and nails done with my best friend. I remember us being really nervous when her and I were picking up our dates. It was a very special night.
  • My nephew is born

    My nephew is born
    I remember being a brat when my sister announced she was pregnant. I mad fun of her and was very rude. I didn't even go to her baby shower. But once she was in the hospital my attitude changed completly! When my sister was in the hospital I went to the hospital everyday! I loved that little sucker since he was born. My phone's memory is full with pictures of him.
  • My life today

    My life today
    I'm 18 years old. I live in the Kent/ Des Moines area. I attend New Start Alternative high school, but when school is out I have no idea where I will be going as soon as school starts again. Yes, I was suppose to graduate this year, but I made some poor choices my high school years. Overall I'm a 18 year old girl excited for summer!
