I didn't have any childhood illnesses beside a usual cold. I went to Rozelle Elementary school my kindergarten year. Beside the story about how my mother gotten really sick after she gave moher I have heard another story. My mother friend birthday is on April 25th, which is the day I was born, he had got shot and killed couples days before his birthday and had the funeral on his birthday. My mom said it was so nice outside that day it was about 70 degrees or so and she had went into labor. But every year after that it rains, there has not been one year it didn’t rain. My mom had told me this story before my seventh birthday in February of 2015, so when my birthday came that year it didn’t rain out of sixteen years of birthday it finally didn’t rain. I’m hoping that on my 18th birthday it doesn't rain. When my mom had told me this story I was quite mad because I felt all these years I was being cursed.

Not only on the football field in between the white lines, but in my daily walk in this thing that we call life.…

    I was born at the Winchester Medical Center on November 14th, 1998. It was a clear Saturday morning and the temperature was only around 60 degrees that day. My mom, Julie, was driven to the hospital by my grandma about two hours prior to my birth in my mom’s 1985 Honda CRX. I was delivered by Dr. Eads at 10:57 am, weighing in at 7 pounds & 5 ounces, and was officially named Alexis Nicole Shockey.

    As hard as my relationship was with Thomas, I am grateful for what I learned from being with him. I learned that I am a strong and an independent person. I didn’t need him to make me feel secure and happy. According to Mendenhall (2014), intimacy dances work best when they support both people (Mendenhall, 2014b). I won’t sacrifice myself to a relationship again because the outcome will never make me happy.…
