Why I am who I am today
I was born on December fifth, 1996 at Holzer in Gallipolis. My parents are Lance Campbell and Cindy Collins. I have two sisters and a half brother.

My dad moved back in with my grandma and grandpa and my mom got a small house just for the time being. I stayed with both of my parents during the divorce and it was not so bad, at first. When I was five my mom got a house and we moved out of the one we were staying in for the time being. Shortly after our move my mom’s dad was in the hospital and passed away. I was too young to understand fully what was going on or what my mom was going through.

When something goes wrong in my life or I’m ever upset over a long day or stressed over something, I take a day with my nieces and nephews because in a world where so much is wrong they make so much right. A promise I have made to them is that no matter what time it is or where I’m at I’m going to be there for them, to guide them, to tell them when I think they’re doing wrong, to remind them of how much potential they have and to let them know that they can be anything they want to be. I want them to know that they’re going to go through some tough times but they will never have to go though it alone because I’m always going to be there to stand by them even if I don’t agree with what they’re supporting. I promise them to be a best friend, and to be the best aunt I can

    I am someone who smiles Someone always telling jokes to make sure no one thinks something is wrong So no one suspects a thing when they see my smile I am someone who fixes the feelings of those whose hearts are shattering like pieces of glass I am someone who loves to dress up and wear makeup so no one sees how truly I am From the bags from staying up at night to the red from crying, both under the concealer Tears behind my eyeshadow-covered eyelids Cracks underneath my red lipstick And the pain within the mouth that contains whitened teeth…

    What makes me “Me”, I have asked myself this question a thousand times over the last week before it finally hit me.

From having family supper all gathered at one table, something that is being seen less and less in these days.

    Though I’m still developing my legacy, I like to think that most people who know me, regardless of how well, consider me a person that can put a smile on nearly any face. From my time in high school as photo studio assistant getting babies to giggle on camera to my work as a personal trainer cracking jokes to help clients through the worst parts of their workouts; I learned that a little laughter can improve any situation. While this is a fairly simple impact to have on people, I do believe that it’s a powerful one. My own experiences with bereavement, chronic ill health and periods of poor mental health have shown me the value of a person that puts in the effort and time to get a smile out of someone. Though happiness is a pretty fleeting…
