I was born in Stony Brook Hospital on July 13, 2003, and I weighed 7.9 pounds. So far, I was the only girl in my family with two older brothers.

Three years after my birth, my younger twin brothers were born. I was officially the only girl in the family and considered the "princess". As a three year old, I cared for my baby brothers not knowing that in the future they would not be so cute and cuddly as I thought.

I remember Kindergarten Graduation very clearly. We practiced for weeks, learning when and how to walk on stage and sing songs. We wore a small cute black (or white I don't remember) gown, and at the end of the stage performance we all received a diploma.

In the summer of 2008, I went to Switzerland. I remember going to small villages and visiting a chocolate factory that filled my nose with sensational smells.

In First Grade, I recall the first day of school when I had been assigned homework, but didn't know. I remember coming to school the next day and confused when the teacher asked for our homework to check it over. I confessed that I didn't do it and had to complete it during recess.

Fifth grade was probably my favorite school year so far because of my teacher and the fun I had in that class. My fifth grade graduation was much like my kindergarten graduation except that we got to wear anything formal that we wanted to wear. I remember so many people congragulated .

In sixth grade, we had a field trip to Spruce Lake in which we slept in a cabin for a night and experienced the outdoors. We played games that explained the importance of the structure of nature, how the prey and predator contribute a lot to it. We also ate together as a class in the dining hall.

In seventh grade, that was the year when we actually had a schedule in which we went to different classes and were independent. I had much trouble having enough time to get my books for the right classes so that I wouldn't be lugging a giant pack of bricks the entire day. However, near the middle of the year, I found a process and beneficial way to drop off books and pick them up at the right times without being late for class.
