First Two Years (1-2 years)
At about 2 months old I started sleeping through the night, but always woke up early.
My aunt had a pool in her backyard, so we started learning how to swim at a very young age.
Out popped my first two teeth at about 9 months old.
My sister and I talked before we walked. We started talking around 10-11 months. My first word was "da-da".
I have a cousin, Jillian, who was born on February 28, 1991. On March 7, 1991, her sister, Emily, was born. We all grew up in the same neighborhood, and got -

First Two Years (1-2 years)
(continued) acquainted early on.
My sister and I started walking at 14 months old. I was a happy baby. Always smiling; very curious. I babbled a ton, and loved being around people. We have a very big family, and we're all close. My cousins and I are all close in age, and all lived within a three mile radius. My grandparents babysat all of us, so we were always surround by family/friends that we were able to develop and form relationships with. -

Early Childhood (3-5 years)
My sister and I did four year old preschool. There, we met a hdanful of children that we would catch up with later in life. 1995-This year was our last year at Jackson Center. Next year, we would be in kindergarten. We were active children. Our family enjoyed bike rides, flying kites, rollerblading, playing on the swingset, and running around in our half acre backyard. We often had races, and my parents got us involved in co-ed soccer and softball at a young age. I got the wind knocked out of me -

Early Childhood (3-5 years)
(continued) by a boy that was way bigger than me during one of our first soccer practices. I remember never wanting to go back, and I am pretty sure my coping mechanism was quitting all together. I didn't try soccer again until 4th grade. 1996-At this point, I started the restless sleeping. I would wake up a few times a night and want to sleep in my parents room. I still love my baths, and keeping up on my cleanliness. I showed early signs of anxiety at young age. I would get very nervous, and -

Middle Childhood (6-12 years)
(continued) loved Princess Diana. My parents found my first ever love notes from Sean Root and Ricky Stack this year. 1999-I remember a similar scenario in third grade vs second grade: I didn't get the teacher I had hoped to get. My twin sister got Mrs. Phelan, and I wanted her so bad. I ended up getting Mrs. Wojiczk, but it had nothing to do with looks this time. I had heard from my cousin who was a year older that Mrs. Phelan was the nicest third grade teacher, and that Mrs. Wojiczk could be -

Middle Childhood (6-12 years)
(continued) mean. I was upset, but I learned early on that the rumors I had heard weren't true. I enjoyed having Mrs. Wojicz. I was so pleased with my teacher in fourth grade. Ms. Jeremy was so nice, and I learned quite a bit from her. I remember being really happy in her class. Another reason why I really liked her was because she had a son: Patrick, who was in my grade. He was very cute and we had a crush on each other. He was one of my first "boyfriends." -

Middle Childhood (6-12 years)
(continued) and the fact that we were doing something we weren't supposed to and getting away with is was such a thrill. We loved recess! ;) 2002-We had sex ed this year.

Middle Childhood (6-12 years)
I started at St. Mike's for first grade. All of my cousins on my mom's side went there. This was the first time my sister and I weren't in the same class. I could be my own person. 1997-When I found out my 2nd grade teacher, I was very upset. I remember crying and feeling mad that I didn't get Mrs. Breyer like I wanted. My cousin got Mrs. Breyer, and I was super jealous of her. I remember these feelings were solely based on how the teachers looked. I was really into fashion and make up, and I -

Middle Childhood (6-12 years)
(continued) 9/11/01-This was a very confusing day for me. I remember the TVs at school come on and watching the news. I saw chaos that I didn't understand. Our school then walked to the church and had a prayer service until our parents picked us up early that day. I remember my grandparents telling us what was going on, but still being confused. We started swearing and using "potty language" with each other on the playground this year. All of us children thought we sounded really cool, -

Teenaged years (13-17 years)
Mrs. Gordon was really mean. She made my first year of middle school absolutely miserable, on top of feeling insecure. I had a few boyfriends who all ended relationships with me shortly after starting them. This made me lose confidence, and I took it pretty hard. I always had a group of friends. At the time, I hungout with my basketball friends: Kristen, Elli, Kathleen and Sabrina. I started showering less because I wanted my hair to be perfect sll the time. I always wanted to look good. I was -

Early Adulthood (18-22 years)
Ages 18-21 were really tough for me. I went through a deep depression, and had several drastic life changes happen. I was a mental mess from ages 18-20 where I finally decided to get help. By age 21 I was healthy and happy. By age 22, my boyfriend (now fiancé) and I bought a house and have two dogs. I am finally happy. -
