Before kindergarten, my family traveled with our dad to his engineering jobs around the country. While I had a lot of fun, both of us were behind in the schooling we needed. I didn't meet a lot of new people and only really talked with my sister so I think that may have made socializing with others hard in first grade.

I used to go to a little Christian School in Pine Bluff. I think I would be a little more high-and-mighty or stuck-up if I still went there.

It was traumatic, a high schooler brought me to the deep end and left me. My sister saved me and I think that strengthed my relationship with them. I don't think I still had water in my lungs but I didn't trust strangers anymore, maybe that's for the best.

I love telling this story to introduce myself in class, and it always surprises people. My sister gave me a water bottle while we were visiting our paternal grandmother, apparently, she puts hydrogen peroxide in water bottles. I didn't get really sick but it did scare me a lot and it's a fun story to tell.

The baby was born and he is the first boy of four kids. He is adored as the baby of the family. The rest of the kids are a little more independent than him because of our parents doting on our little brother.
