    Ready ! Set ! Go!
    My life began June 6th 1999 in Austin Texas, I was born a month early and had immediate breathing problems. I was in urgent care for over a month. The doctors didn't think I would make it, its a blessing I'm alive today with no physical problems besides being short.
  • Were moving?

    Were moving?
    April 20th 2006 we moved to Arizona when I was 7. It was hard because I was leaving all my friends and my family like cousins and grandparents. Plus its where I lived my whole life. I loved Utah, but we moved because of my dads job and business opportunities. It worked out good though, I now love Arizona and cant imagine living any where else.
  • Getting Baptized

    Getting Baptized
    When I turned eight years old June 6th 2007 I was baptized into my church. The church I belong to is the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. When I became baptized it was very big and important because I officially became a member of the church. It was my first real life choice I made for my self.
  • That Hurt !

    That Hurt !
    When I was twelve years old October 12th 2011 I got my first scar and stitches on my left arm. I got the scar by climbing a fence to get a ball that had gone over at my older brothers soccer game , when I was almost at the top of the fence it broke and the top of the fence cut a 2 inch gash on my arm. Its a highlight of my life because it was my first real injury and left a pretty sick scar.
  • One for the books

    One for the books
    May 13th 2013 I won first place in the state in my division in long jump for junior high track. It was the first time I've ever won anything. I also helped my track team win state and made me love track. This experience gave me the confidence I needed and really boosted my self esteem, because at the time I was kind of dealing with depression.
