When I was 10 I got baptized with my brother. Our dad baptized us and the way he looked after was really special, he was so proud of us. Getting to show my church that I accepted Jesus into my heart and getting baptized was a very special day for me. Another cool thing about that day was that my grandpa that is from Sweden got to be there and that was a really cool moment because he wasn't a Christian so we got to show him what the love of Jesus looked like.

When I was 12 years old my family took a trip to Sweden to see some of our family. My dad is from Sweden and we don't get out family very often, so it was really nice to see our family. Although I can't really understand them since they don't speak English it was still nice to be with them. It was also really cool to see a country that is so different than America.

I played soccer for 9 years and as time went on I didn't love it anymore. I was on the cross country team too but I only did it to stay in shape for soccer, but I figured out that this is my sport and that I love to run. Running will always be a part of me; the experiences and knowledge that I have gained from running are worth so much.

On my 13th birthday was very special to me. This would be my the first year as a teenager. My parents got a bunch of people together to celebrate this birthday; they went around in a circle and told me the things they like about me and tips to take with me through my teenage years. To seal this birthday my parents got me a very pretty sapphire ring. This is a day that I will remember for a very long time.

The day I moved to Arkadelphia everything changed. I have lived in Bentonville for 15 years and I didn't know what to expect. I remember the day that my mom, brother and I drove down to meet my dad at the new house. I was also so nervous because I had to drive by myself. When I came to Arkadelphia I was overjoyed with the love and friendship which made everything worth it.
