My Birth
April 21st of 1998 was a special day. I was brought into the world by my loving family. Many people were there to see me. I was about 8 pounds and 13 ounces. This marks the day my parents started to raise me through God's grace and love. -

My Spiritual Journey
-
Started Kindergarden
In August of 2003, at five years old, I started kindergarten. My parents weren't ready to send me off to school yet, so I was homeschooled through Visions Charter School for one year. From 1st to 8th grade, I attended Orangevale Seventh-Day Adventist School. I grew socially, academically, physically, and most importantly spiritually. I am so thankful to have the privilage of Adventist education. -
My Baptism
At Beal's Point, Folsom Lake, Alexandra Hartwick, Xander Culver, Hailey Hofmann, Nathalia Luz, and I were baptized. It was such a special experience to publically give my heart to Jesus. When I think about it now, I almost wish I had waited a couple more years to fully understand, know, and trust God. -
Death of Mrs. Altman
Mrs. Altman was my teacher seventh grade year and half of eighth grade. I saw Jesus in her everyday. Words cannot express.. the love, faith, and joy she portrayed and shared with everyone around her. I miss her so much. I guess, in some ways, her death brought me closer to God. But it still hurts. -
Eighth Grade Graduation
Eighth Grade Graduation was very sentimental to me. It represented starting a new chapter in my life. It meant moving on from the school I had grown up at. It hurt not only because of that, but because of the one missing. Mrs. Altman will never be forgotten. -
Beginning of High School
This was a scary and exciting day. I was nervous about the homework, schedule, and other freshman worries. I was so stoked for the numerous events and interaction with students and teachers.Freshman year has gone by so fast. I have learned and grown tremendously. I am so glad I have the privilage of attending SAA.
