Shortly after my birth it was found out that I had a hole in my heart which may lead to very severe problems and probably death if it came to it. This was very bad news for my family and I so, I went to a cardiologist and did a bunch of therapy for it. Eventually after a lot of tough work and time, the hole closed and I was no longer at risk for my heart but that doesn't mean all of my problems were over. This was again a very scary time in my life that could've ended it.

My birth was a very difficult process because of the amount of health complications I had when I was born. The doctors didn't know if I was going to live and it was a very scary experience for my family and I. This definitely is a highlight in my life because its the start of it and it was already a crazy time. I was born a week late and unfortunately, my grandma died a couple of days before I was born so I couldn't meet her anytime throughout my life. This time was one of the scariest times.

Again after my birth but in the next year, I was diagnosed with scoliosis. This was yet again, very sad news for my family and I. I would need to get a back brace to straighten my spine and was told I would have to wear it until I'm 18 years old. This news was very upsetting because this disorder would affect me until the end of my childhood and my parents were very paranoid that I would stand out a lot. I got my brace and there were many fights at first but I had to deal with it.

I found out news that I would be getting a little sister soon. At the time I balled my eyes out and its a memory my family would never forget. The only reasons I was upset was because it was a girl. I was upset because I didn't want another sister because I already had 2. I was really upset when she was born but eventually I gave in and accepted the fact that I had yet another annoying sister. This definitely was a big event for my family and I as we got a whole new person in our lives.

When I was in about 3rd grade my house was robbed. Luckily no one was hurt in the event but there was a lot of money stolen. This event really impacted my family as we lost all trust in everyone as we believe it was a family member that carried out the act. My little sister and my nanny were the only people home but the robbers didn't take any interest in them whatsoever. Whoever did it, knew exactly where they were going and what to do. This event will eventually lead to us moving houses.
-
After the robbery took place, my parents felt very vulnerable and scared so we decided to move houses. It was a good plan but at the time I was very upset because I always have hated change. But I was lucky enough to still stay at Garden Street school so I didn't lose any of my friends so there wasn't much difference in my life at the time. I was the first one of my siblings to check out the house and after that I cheered up a lot because there was more space for me to use for whatever I need.

I met my new friend group in 7th grade which consisted of a couple of people. They're Jake Crocker, Kaylow DaSilva, Ryan Fisher, Chris Blandino, Noah DellaValle, Matt Gehrung and Lexi Gagliardo. We met by playing on xbox together and it was one of the best times I've ever had. We hit it off after then and I joined their group after a couple of weeks of playing together. I love my friend group, they're the best, we've been through so many hardships in life and always made it out together.
-
After many years of being tortured by the back brace. I was told by my doctor that I wouldn't need to wear it anymore because my spine hardened enough and straightened enough so that I'm safe. This made my family way more happy than I was because I was really non compliant when it came to wearing it anyway. It was an amazing time in my life that was very relieving to hear that the 16 year suffering was finally over. I was mostly glad to hear that I didn't have to wait until I was 18 years old.

My friend Kaylow moved away twice but recently in November of 2019. It was a very hard event for all my friends and I to go through because we all have very fun memories with kaylow. We all worked very hard to see what we can do to get him back but I'm the closest. He is going to move in with me after coronavirus and he'll be able to make even more memories with everyone. His move made a big impact on our group and everyone was very sad during the time he first moved but also now,Hopefully soon.

I got hired at the Bull and Barrel and it was an amazing experience. Meeting new people and getting the work experience is amazing. It can be stressful sometimes when it gets very busy but in the end, I still enjoy myself. The best part is getting the money, although its not really much compared to other jobs but that's just the food business as a whole. I also work with a couple of my friends which makes the experience even better. Although trying to take off to hang out is a burden sometimes.
