Just Being a Kid
Life was great as a kid. I was oblivious to anything bad in the world. I loved going outside and catching butterflies. I also loved using my imagination, I had a great time defeating evil and helping my imaginary friends away from danger. -
Accepted Christ as My Lord and Savior
When I was 6 years old I loved everything about the bible and God, so I called my mom into my room and had her pray with me. After that my mom and I drove to my dads work and told him the news. -
Won The 5th Grade Science Fair
In 5th grade, I was one of the ten winners in the science fair at my school, for grades 2nd to 8th grade, who was advanced to the nation wide science fair. I remember the princible reading off the winners through the annoucments one morning, and when he read my name I was so shocked. I sat there, mouth wide open staring at my friends for a whole minute. -
Went to the Grand Canyon
In 6th grade we had the oppurtunity to raise the money for our whole grade to go to the Grand Canyon. Our job was to make and sell prickly pear Jelly. Once I was at the Grand Canyon I was so happy, there was snow everywhere and it was like a winter wonderland. I can't remeber a time when I was happier. -
Benson Lawsuit
My grandma used to be on the Benson city counsil, one day she found out something bad about the mayor and she told on him. Benson got mad, thus the city of Benson came after my family, since my grandma didn't money. Four years later, the case finally went all the way to the supreme court, we won but lost a lot of time. http://www.bensonnews-sun.com/news/article_2d1285c2-43f1-11e2-904f-001a4bcf887a.html -
Shot a 3 pointer at my Basketball Game
Basketball was my favorite sport, I loved everything about it, besides those days where we had to run laps around the court. I strongly dislike running for extended periods of time. One day, during a basketball game, I was running down the court and I stopped at the halfway point when someone decided to pass me the ball, I shot it and scored a 3 pointer! I was good at long shots back then. -
Fell in Love
This was a huge turning point in my life. I loved the guy for 3 years and he was my best friend until things went haywire. I met my new best friend right after that though and he helped me forget about the guy. Here's a poem I wrote during this time: http://www.teenink.com/poetry/limerick/article/546753/Hear-my-Silent-Screams/ -
Depression and High school
Once I hit 13 I became depressed and felt like life was pointless. I used to get honor roll but my grades drop dramatically. I didn't have many friends and stuff. In 9th grade, when I went back to public school, I got into a bad group of friends that didn't behave themselves. So, I isolated myself from them and spent most of my time alone at lunch. -
Decided to Change My Life and Way of Thinking
After I moved on from the guy I fell in Love with, I decided to change everything. I stopped doing harmful things and I changed the music I listened too. I taught myself to see the positive things in life and how to love everyone, even when it's hard. Im a lot happier now and I feel like life is worth living. -
Published in Teen Ink Magazine
I decided to submit some of my drawings and paintings to Teen Ink Magazine and they all ended up being published at different times. -
Started Writing My book series
Since I was little I had a wild imagination and always pretend I was the main character thats in my book series today. My imagination as a child inspired me to pursue this dream of mine. -
