On May 24 my parents had me, and they were very happy to finally have a daughter.
-
My parents had a party for my first birthday which they invited family to celebrate my first birthday!
-
My family decided that it was time for a bigger house, because our family was growing and we needed more space, so they found a perfect house and moved, and we are still living in the same house to this day.
-
It was the first day I learned how to ride my bike and we went to a nearby park and I climbed a slide with wet hand and fell off at the top and then I broke it.
-
I started kindergarten which started the next chapter of my life.
-
In kindergarten, I made my first ever friends which made me so happy.
-
I had my 6th birthday party with my friends and we all had so much fun.
-
I decided that I wanted to try gymnastics after not wanting to do it when I was younger and I absolutely fell in love with it.
-
The gym I went to was surprised on what I could all do and I was asked to join their gymnastics team and compete level 4.
-
My family decided to switch schools because the other school wasn't working out anymore and change was needed.
-
I was able to make many new friends at my new school, and they were very nice and I made many new memories and experiences with them.
-
I ended up becoming shy to any new people that I met, and didn't really want to talk to anyone that I didn't know.
-
My family and I took a road trip to the Florida Keys where we would stay in a camper for 2 weeks and explore, swim and enjoy time together
-
While doing gymnastics, I noticed that my elbows started to hurt doing everything so, we decided to get them checked out and get x-rays and an mri and we found out that I had osteochondritis dissecans in my elbow which required me to stop anything involving my arms for a little over 4 months.
-
For Christmas in 2017, my parents surprised me with a golden retriever puppy, although he was only three weeks at the time I had to wait 4 more weeks until we were able to bring him home and he is the best thing that has ever happened to me.
-
My brothers and I were able to spend more time with each other during the summer, which we were able to have more bonding time, by playing games and talking.
-
In 2018, I started another new chapter of my life, which I didn't know would fly by. I started high school and met some amazing people and was very happy for a change.
-
When Covid started getting bad and everything had to shut and we were all quarantined I started to get sad, I was forced to stop gymnastics for 5 months, I couldn't hang with any of my friends, school was online, and it was just really hard.
-
In December or 2019, my elbows started to hurt again, I went back to the doctor and told there wasn't anything wrong but they kept getting worse, so in February we decided to call the doctor and schedule and mri to get a better look but still nothing. In July I went to a different doctor which he said that my cartilage was flaking and that I had some loose bodies which required surgery, so in August I had elbow surgery on my right to clean up my elbow and will need another surgery next year.
-
I am able to go back to gymnastics and occasionally see friends from a distance which is nice to be able to socialize again and I'm so grateful.
