June 9, 2007, Alyssa Le was born in Michigan and weighed 7 pounds and 11 ounces. -
I had my first dog named Sysko, who I was very close too. I also had 3 birds. -
After a period of time, I finally learned how to walk. -
I picked up my first crayon and started doodling. This is the start of a new passion. -
On December 11, 2011, my baby brother was born. His name was Derek, I named him after my favorite cousin Eric because their name rhymed. -
It was my first day of school, this was a big and exciting point in my life, although I was really scared at first. -
Another big and exciting change from preschool, I was able to learn and find things I enjoy doing like art. I made a lot of friends and I enjoyed being at school. -
After 1st grade, my mom wanted to move to Florida to be closer to her family. I was excited because our new house had a pool. -
My dad didn't enjoy Florida as much as my mom did so we moved back. Plus he had a better job opportunity there. -
My first day in Byron Center Michigan. I went to Marshall Elementary and made so many new friends. -
My dog Brady recently passed away so my dad bought us a new dog for the family. I was so happy because Brady was my best friend and without a companion, I felt so lonely. -
My dad and I started playing tennis more often and I ended up really liking it. I joined a club that summer and learned many different tricks. -
This was the start of new friendships and a new time to find out what I like. It wasn't the best 2 years of my life but I did learn a lot more about myself. -
This was the first time I've ever been in a pandemic. My working skills really plummeted but I was able to work on myself a lot more. I honestly kind of enjoyed the little break, although I did miss my friends. -
Covid was still a thing so I was inside a lot. I tried different hobbies such as baking, sewing, and trying out different sports. I also really liked experimenting with my style even though it's embarrassing to look back at it. -
Middle school didn't work out and my friend group fell apart. It was the start of high school and went out of my comfort zone to socialize and make more connections. I ended up having a lot of friends who influenced me in a positive way which I'm very grateful for. -
After gaining more friendships and involving myself in more activities I started also trying to go to school events. I ended up really liking getting involved in the community and it made me look forward to every day. -
After submitting my artwork to Schoolastic I was able to win 2 gold keys and a silver key for my pieces.
