Hello, I’m Chelsea Elizabeth McDaniel and this is my personal narrative! I was born in Phoenix, Arizona and lived in a large, one story house with my half-sister who at the time was 8 and my half-brother who at the time was 10. I went to Madison Elementary and then when I was 6 it was summer time, I went out back to see my dad having a drink on “the rocks” and for some reason I asked, “Hey Dad, are we ever going to move?”.

It only took four hours to do and by the time we were done it was six and the sun had started to set. So dad picked me up and threw me over his shoulders and started to climb up the steep hill to our house, we would carry me over his shoulder all the time, whenever I got sleepy and he would dance around and sing “Sack of Potatoes, Sack of
