God sent me to this Earth for a purpose.

My brother moved in with us when i was 4 years old. Ever since then I have always looked up to him and he is very important to me.
-
My little cousin Brooke was born. I treated her like she was my little sister. I spent every day with her. She is one of the most important people in my life.
-
My other little cousin Danica is born. She is Brooke's younger sister and I treated Danica just like i did Brooke. They mean everything to me

My uncle left for the Army in 2006 and he is still an active soldier to this day.
-
My other little cousin Caiden was born when I was 7. All of these kids mean the world to me.
-
My big brother brandon left for the army in 2010. This really had an impact on my life. I had never spent a long period of time away from him and it was very hard. I missed him like crazy and I never knew if he was going to come home safe. It was the worst feeling in the world.

In 5th grade, my best friend Sam Jones moved away. This was very hard on me because I didnt have many friends and when Sam moved I felt very alone especially since my brother had just left. It taught me how to be more independant but it was also a very hard time for me.

My Unce Bo died when I was in fifth grade. This is really important in my life because I was very close with my uncle. He was like my second father. I took his death probably harder than I should have. We all knew it was coming soon but none of us knew exactly when. He wanted me there when he passed but I was too late and thats something I will always regret.
-
In 6th grade, my Aunt Mary passed away. I took this very hard because I grew very close to my Aunt in her final months. She has terminal cancer so we all knew she was going to go soon but I made the desicion to still grow close to her anyways even though I knew I was going to get hurt in the end. It was one of the best desicions I have ever made because my aunt taught me things I could have never learned on my own and I am so thankful for that.
-
Also in 6th grade, my little cousin Ethan was born. I treated him yet again just like I did his brother Caiden and sisters Brooke and Dani. Those kids were my life and I loved them more than anyone else in the world. They changed my life for the better and they got me through some really hard times.
-
The day after my 13th birthday, my little cousins had to move to Texas because that is where my uncle was being stationed. This is the hardest thing I have had to deal with so far. I spent so much time with my little cousins. I practically raised them. I taught them how to read and write and we spent tons of time together. They were like my little brothers and sisters and now they had to move. I took it very hard and i still have a hard time dealing with it today.
-
At the beginning of the year, my brother came home from the Army for good. He made the descion to be discharged after 4 years of service. This is a day i will probably never forget. It was the best feeling in the world to know that my brother was home safe and sound for good.
-
I never thought that I would say this, but I actually had a really hard time dealing with graduation. I went to school with all of these amazing people for 8 years of my life and it seemed unreal that we wouldn't be going to school together anymore.

Just a little over a month ago, my grandma was in a horrible car accident. She has been in the hospital since then and is taking a long time to recover. The first few days after the accident were rough. We spent countless hours up at the hospital. I slept in a hospital chair 3 nights in a row because i refused to leave her bedside. This expeirience has showed me that no matter what, God is always there. I can always turn to Him when things arent working out.
