My grandpa died when I was 7 years old, It was a very hard time for me because I was close with him. It also hurt to see my mom lose her dad and how my family changed forever.

In the 5th grade my mom wanted better opportunities for me and wanted me to have better education. So, I transferred to a charter school in concord.

After 5th grade ended and I realized I had to go to middle school, I knew a chapter in my life had changed. I performed a song at my graduation but I wasn't super sad because I wasn't a fan of the school anyways.

I started middle school which was a big jump from being in elementary. I made new friends and had a lot of fun going to school dances.

During 8th grade covid-19 hit and it was very hard to get use to, I didn't like not being able to see my friends and I had to skip my 8th grade DC trip which I was looking forward to going to.

9th grade really shaped me because it changed my perspective on a lot of things and was kinda a rough time considering I spent the whole school year online, being in quarantine affected the person I became today

My dad got a cat and his name is Nelo! Hes very cute and crazy , his moods change constantly and he can go from rubbing you to scratching you!

When I turned 15 I was able to complete drivers-ed so I could get my permit, I drove with an instructor and finally was able to receive my permit, it was the next step in my book to accomplish and I was very happy I did!

When I was 15 I told myself I really wanted a job to start making my own money but no job that i was really interested in hired at 15, but then i got offered an opportunity to work at Krispy Kreme where they make donuts! This definitely gave me a taste of independence and adulthood.

I had my sweet 16 and went out to uptown Charlotte to celebrate. I invited a bunch of friends and went to an art museum and out to eat.

This year was my first year doing theater and I was so excited to audition and was happy with any role I got! I landed a pretty good role and met a lot of new friends, this opportunity even opened my eyes to a future in acting.
