  • Birth

    This is the most major event because it was the time I was born and my whole life started. This was on May 1, 2000 and I was very lucky to be born into the amazing family I was born into.
  • Period: to

  • First Time at School

    I started preschool during this time and it had affected me because I was the child that didn't want to go. I would cry or pretend to be sick to not go to school. Being like that as a child helped me understand more about how I wanted to be a teacher be able to help students.
  • Babysitters'

    When I was young after school I would go to a babysitters while my parents worked. While I was there I would play with the other kids and I vividly remember that we would play teacher. I would be the teacher and teach the other children and ever since then I wanted to be a teacher.
  • Catholic School

    Catholic School
    When I was put into preschool my parents sent me into a catholic school and in 5th grade they wanted to switch and send me to a public school. They decided not to and I feel like this really helped shape who I am because the difference of schools would of changed me as I grew up.
  • Got Milo

    Got Milo
    I begged my parents for years and years to get a dog and they always said no. When I was in 8th grade I made a powerpoint on how I could take care of the dog and it would benefit us. Then on April fools day my family and I adopted my dog Milo.
  • Public School

    Public School
    This is when I went to a public school was in high school. I learned a lot in those four year and it helped me grow as a person. I got to experience new thing and new types of people because in a catholic school it is kinda a bubble and you do not get to know a lot.
  • Grandmas

    Grandmas
    I lost both of my grandmas with in a couple months of each other in the end of my junior year of high school. My family as a whole are very close and I would be with my grandparents a lot. When both my grandmas passed away it was hard.
  • First Time "Teaching"

    In high school I was apart of the preschool program for three years and I would teach my lesson plans to the preschoolers. This helped me because I was getting close to college and I wasn't sure if I still wanted to be a teacher. But with my teachers help she helped me realize that what I should do.
  • Going to College

    Going to College
    Illinois State was not my first choice at all for college, the only reason I applied was because I needed to apply to one instate school. Then after visiting all the schools I realized this one was the best for everything I wanted. Now I can't imagine not being a student here.
  • Getting into my Sorority

    Getting into my Sorority
    This is when I got into my sorority which helped introduce me to my friends and I have now. Also, it has helped me grow and learn as a person and be able to hold leadership positions that will help me later in my life.
