My Birth
I was born January 19, 1998 at the Kaiser Hospital on Morse Avenue. I was born premature at 28 weeks and weighed 2 Ibs 9 oz. I stayed in an incubator in the hospital for eight weeks and I had Patent Ductus Arteriosus Surgery. I came home a healthy four pounds and grew from there. -
Orangevale Seventh-Day Adventist School
I started Kindergarten at Orangevale SDA School in 2003. My teacher's name was Mrs. Wooten. That year we had a guinea pig as a class pet. Her named Missy and we all took turns taking her home and caring for her on the weekends. Kindergarten was one of my favorite years. I made lifelong friends like Alexandra, Ethan, Karina, and Sarah. -
Beloved Mrs. Altman <3
It was January 8th of 2012 when i learned my bible teacher had died in accident the day before. It came as an enormous shock to everyone because she had made such a great impact on all of our lives. Vickie Altman was one of my best friends and she taught me many things. She taught me to be a better person and love everyone as they are. She impacted my life in so many ways spiritually, academically, and teaching me to be a modest respectful young woman. I will strive to be like loving Mrs. Altman -

Angelo
On February 13, 2012 I started dating Angelo Valdez. He is a big part of my life socially and spiritually. He is one of my very best friends. Our relationship continues to grow, as does our trust for each other. He is a very kind, funny, and respectful person. I will continue to be surprised at what interesting and very unique things he does everyday. -

Orangevale Graduation Pt. 2
When we came back from Christmas break we were informed our teacher had died. That event left the school in despair because not only had they lost a junior high teacher but she also taught kindergarten. It took a long time for all 128 of us to recover. 8th Grade ended up being one of my most favorite years. I learned so many skills and grew spiritually in so many ways. I Love Orangevale and I am glad I graduated from such a wonderful, loving school. -
Freshman Year
I started my freshman year of high school on August 16, 2012. I came from Orangevale with Bobby, Xander, Aly, Karina, and Janette. I was nervous to come to a different school, because I thought that I wouldn’t fit in. I am glad I made a decision to come to SAA, and I will miss this school next year. I have made many friends and I have had a really fun time.
