When i was about 6 or 7 my mom decided to put me into dance considering how bad i was at sports unlike the rest of my siblings. i don't remember much but i have danced every year since then and have been dancing for 10 years

The first musical i auditioned for was Aladdin Jr. in the 7th grade. I auditioned because that's what all my friends were doing. i honestly didn't think i was going to get anything considering it was my first audition for anything. I got in as a featured dancer and never looked back. Now i have been in or helped out for 10 shows.

The first person i came out to was my best friend Autumn, she has been my best friend for 11 years now. I grew up learning that it was a sin to be gay so needless to say i was terrified. I texted her at 11 o'clock with a ranting paragraph about a bunch of things and just mentioned in there that i was gay. The first things she said to me were how proud of me she was and how she would always accept me. My other coming outs weren't as easy but that one fixes all the others.

In Freshman year i found out that at the end of the year that i would be going to my second favorite musical Dear Evan Hansen. Every year our Chorus teacher would bring us to see a Broadway musical in New York City after going to the restaurant Hard Rock. Needless to say i cried... a lot but to be fair it's a really emotional musical.

As the youngest of 5 with a 16 year age gap in between me and my oldest sister i got to become an aunt pretty early. In November of 2020 at Thanksgiving dinner i found out my oldest sister was pregnant and me waiting about 5 years for her to get pregnant naturally the first thing i said was "it's about time, i bet $20 it is a boy" in which everyone yelled at me for. But in August of 2020 my nephew Finlay was born and i never got that $20.

My mom left at the end of my sophomore year, after years of going through mental and physical issues she decided that she was moving out. I had to figure out a way of getting through my everyday life with only being able to depend on my father and myself. To say it wasn't easy would be an understatement.

After two weeks of dating and trying to find the confidence to actually kiss someone during camping i finally had the courage to kiss her for the first time.

My by far favorite summer was when i spent a week with my friends camping. Everyday was full of river rafting, badminton, swimming, volleyball, and card games with a little bit of bug spray

For 5 years i begged my parents to cut my hair short. I slowly went shorter and shorter from my waist, to half way through my torso, to my shoulders and shorter and shorter to where we are now. To me i see it is getting a new identity and getting rid of the immature, shy person i used to be and turning into the bold person i want to be.
