  • In Henderson, NC I was born on September 30,2003.

  • When I was like two i started walking.

  • I started my first day of school when i was 4 in Mount Energy Elementary.

  • Searching

    When I was six years old I started experimenting with sports and the first thing i tried was track and I ended up loving it. Laurence was also searching for his true self by trying sports with his Dad and brother.

  • My mom wanted to get me away from the henderson environment, so she decided to move us to Creedmoor sadly..

    This kind of reminds me how Laurence's mom didn't want him to learn how to shoot, but she allowed it anyway.

  • My grandma passed away on my moms side.

  • Searching

    I begged my mom to let me get me a violin because I loved the way they sounded, and now I can play a lot of stringed instruments. This is like Laurence also because he tried sports even though it didn't really end up being his thing.

  • Searching

    I did girls basketball and soccer.

  • Denial

    Even, though I hate singing my mom forced me to do women's choir. Laurence denied himself too, when he told his Dad l=that he would learn how to shoot even though he doesn't really like the fact of shooting creatures.

  • Unique Descriptors

    Something unique about me is that I got accepted in NC Honors chorus, at a young age. Laurence was unique because he didn't have lungs or wasn't active like his brother and Dad.

  • I did my first competitive singing group and we ended up getting 2nd place overall.

  • Hardship

    My Uncle committed suicide on December 24, 2014, probably one of the hardest lost in my family. But, this is similar to Laurence because he felt like he was nobody to his Dad, which made him feel horrible. That was pretty hard for him.

  • We went to a black lives matter event.

    Inspirational

  • I went to my first parade in Wake Forest

  • Hardship

    Not too long after the parade we found out that my 18 year old cousin got shot coming back to the club. Laurence would feel like Eddie was his only son and that he was just adopted because he didn't fit in. This was hard for Laurence just like losing my cousin was hard for me.

  • I started to get into photography to kind of express myself.

  • I finally learned how to ride a bike when i was about 12.

  • Rode an airplane for first time to Georgia Atlanta.

  • Unique Descriptor

    Something else unique about me is that I got accepted to sing in front of a crowd by myself publicly. This is unique because growing up in a place that doesn't care.. my parents didn't really have oppurtunities like this. Laurence is unique because instead of sports he reads comic books.

  • Started my "senior" year of middle school.. finally my last year.
