Birth
When I was developing in my mother's womb, I moved a lot and I was laying sideways in my moms stomach, which caused her to be very uncomfortable so she tried to push my head back down so I would be vertical again but what she thought was my head was actually my bottom. When it was time for me to be born they had to give my mother a C-section because instead of my head crowning, my bottom was.
I entered the world a very healthy baby at 8:07am, April 30, 1996, on a Saturday. -
Became a Big Sister
On April 17, 1999 I met my little sister, Angel, who is 3 years younger than me. This is my earliest memory. Just like every humnan, I went through infant amnesia which is when someone can't remember their life before 3 years old. I was the youngest of 4. As you can see, I''m not in this picture and it is probably because I didn't want a picture with the new baby. My older brothers and older sister all got a picture with Angel except for me. I wasn't upset about that then, but I am now. -
The Beginning of Sports
My dad wanted me to play basketball at age 6 in 2002. I went to one basketball practice and saw that I was the shortest one there so I quit. My self-concept plays a big part in that decision that I made to not play basketball. I didn't know that improvement was a thing. I thought if I was not talented then, I would never be talented in that area. So I started soccer. -
The Doof Bunny Club
In 4th grade I was in the Doof Bunny Club all year round with 3 boys. I was always the type to paraticipate in cooperative play which is when children play together and create dramas. That's what me and the guys did in the club. We played a lot war games at recess. There was a lot of sociodramatic play involved with the club. -
Parents Divorced
My dad had been leaving the house, coming back, leaving and then coming back again. He told me that he was on a business trip, little did I know he was just leaving because he couldn't face the fact that him and my mom weren't working out anymore. My mom took all of the heat that could have landed on me and my siblings because of the divorce. This looks like it ties in with why I started to externalize my problems and get angry so quickly. -
Externalizing Problems
9 or 10 years old was when I started to throw tantrums and get angry very quickly. I had very powerful feelings, I still do have powerful feelings, but then, i expressed my feelings with great outbursts and my family did not like to be around me. This was from 2007-2011. -
Learned a Language
I took two years of Spanish in High school and I was very good at it. I made an A+ in both classes. Unfortunately I learned Spanish too late to be able to speak it more fluently and more efficient. I passed the sesitive time for me to learn a new language. The sensitive time is for language learning--for rapidly and easily mastering vocabulary. -
Living for Jesus
I grew up in a Christian family, but it wasn't until I was a junior in high school that I decided to completely surrender my life to Jesus without caring what people thought about it. I think I may have gone through a little identity confusion because everyone in school wasn't following God like I wanted to and I didn't want to be alone, but when I gave everything up I didn't have confusion about who I was anymore. -
College
I started college out at Trevecca Nazarene University as a freshman in the year of 2014. I changed my major three times from social justice to worship arts and now I am a psycology major. I didn't really feel different went I transitioned into college from high school. I was pretty secrure moving in. There is a lot a diversity at Trevecca and I feel like that has a positive impact on myself when I see that everyone is different and there's not a lot of pressure to be like everyone else. -
Depression
I think that I experienced slight depression for a short time of about a month because I got my heart broken when I least expected it. On top of that, I wasn't doing well in school with my grades and I felt like God was being really quite in my life. My self-esteem was also very low and I didn't want to talk to anyone anymore for a while
