Since, I can remember I have always been the shy, quiet type. I did not speak, unless spoken to, made friends, but never put effort in keeping them, because there was no point in keeping friends when I knew I would have to move the next school year or half way through the year; however, that all changed in the middle of my third grade year. IT happened. The BIG move. Well, not really. We were still in the same state, just 352 miles away from everything I have ever known. The moved shifted my entire universe. My world was upside down. I had never seen such a variety of races, cultures, and history in one place. The move enabled me to grasp that Arizona was not the only place in the galaxy, but only a microscopic portion of it. Growing up on the Navajo Reservation, I was deprived of the knowledge of the outside world. I had no idea that a future existed for me outside the reservation.

Depression As a child I always seemed to be carefree and happy, but in truth I was scared. I was scared I wouldn't be able to do anything to make my parents as proud of me as the middle sister had or I would let them down to the extent that the oldest sister had. I was constantly compared to both. I was never good enough to surpass one, but I was never as deplorable as the other. I never seemed to be who everyone else wanted me to be. At the age of eleven I traded school districts. I was in…

Thanks to the internet, our communication between different places developed.
