i was born in a small town called Lompoc which is located in Southern California.
-
when i was 18 months old i had my very first seizure, once i reached 4 years old i was diagnosed with the epilepsy. i also moved from california to wyoming.
-
growing up in wyoming was amazing. we were out in the middle of nowhere our nearest neighbor was 2 miles away, when i lived there we adopted 2 dogs and 1 cat that ended up giving birth to 7 kittens. when we were there we also almost got a race horse but we ended up moving to south Carolina
-
while in South Carolina we didn't really have the best of times, i say that because i was always in the hospital due to my epilepsy. not only that but we did find out my grandma on my moms side was diagnosed with brain and lung cancer
-
while we were back in california we decided that once a week we will have a family day that way we will spend family time with my grandma, the reason we move around so much is due to us being a military family.
-
about 2 years later we were on our way to the love state of Montana. we only lived in Montana for about 6 months due to my seizures, i say that because we had to have a neurologist and the closest one was 5 hours away and they were wanting to see us once a month and we couldnt make it work.
-
for me middle school was probably some of my worst years not because i got bullied or anything but just because we were always moving so i was starting to like the place make friends and then we would move shortly after, it was also kinda bad because i did get bullied a little bit due to my seizures and some other personal things, but i over came those situations by talking to my family and just learning on how to ignore them and be the bigger person.

on our way to florida we had many obstacles in the way such as our dog jumping out on the freeway, him also escaping in the parking lot at the mall of america, as well as me locking the keys to in the trunk of the car and it was the only set of keys we had...
-
I started High School at Eau Gallie High in Melbourne, Florida.
-
during my first year of high school i really struggled to make friends but i decided to join the schools soccer team and that was one of the best decisions i made in my high school career, during my second year it was better because i was not only did i know people but i was also active in sports and had a good social life. until we got the news that we were moving to Okinawa Japan
-
during my 16th birthday it was not the best because my dad was deployed to Africa and my family was scattered all of the US because we are all married to the military one way or another. but at the end of october my mom surprised me and told me that we were going to germany because my dad got forward deployed there and she knew i was upset about my dad being gone.
-
we left florida in May of 2013 at the end of the school year. when we got to okinawa it started off bad because our luggage didnt make it, my mom had a broken foot and it was over 100 degrees when we landed.
-
we were confused with the school schedule because in japan the schools end in the middle of june, so since we got out in may be had 3.5 months of summer which my parents were not happy about.
-
my " first" year of being an adult was the worst because i broke my leg 4 days before my birthday, it was so bad i ended up having to wait 3 weeks to do surgery and i now have a plate and 7 screws in my leg i also started the new year off with a broken leg which is kind of a bad way to start a new year. it also didnt help the fact that my classes were upstairs and down stairs
-
i graduated of december of 2015 the day before winter break started, the reason that this is important is because that is when you enter adult hood.
-
on the way back to the US from japan was one of the hardest things we had endured because i had a broken leg so i was slowing us down, the worst thing that happened to us was that our dog went into cardiac arrest while on the plane and when we landed the vets that were there wouldnt help her because she "looked dangerous" not only did our dog pass away on the flight but 3 more dogs also passed away
-
i decided to take a 1 year gap between high school and college, i actually regret that idea because i feel as if i am behind even though its better late than never right?
-
My life right now is probably the best it has been because i am living in paradise, i am content with myself and i am on my 2.5 years in college and i am so close to being done so i have my eyes at the end of the road.
