Trampoline

When I was young, I was an annoying ball of energy who was always begging my brother to wander outside and play with me. Among sword fights, failed flips on the trampoline, and good old-fashioned tag, my brother and I spent many hours a day running and playing around. During this time,…

I was at Easter Seals Lilly Academy this week which consisted of three teachers. There was no occupational therapist or any other therapist at the facility. If a child needed therapy, they received it outside of the school. Sometimes the therapist will speak with the teachers and let them know what individual needs and skills the student is addressing in therapy and the teachers will incorporate that into the school as best as they can. Easter Seals School was a school for children with special…

I start everyday the same, I wake up, take a shower, and go to school. That might not seem like much does it? In all reality, that part of the day is the longest and the worst. I have to face the scariest thing everyday. What can be so scary you ask? Well, have you ever loved someone so much that you couldn’t stop thinking of that person? Have you ever loved someone so much that, that one person is everywhere you go no matter if they are actually there or not? Have you ever loved someone so much…

Jump twenty four years later, the 2008 olympic games in Beijing China. All but a few countries prepared tirelessly to take part in what was projected to be one of the best games ever. While L.A. used existing stadiums…

Throughout my childhood, there were many different people and places that helped make my youth years memorable. Above all others, my twin sister, Mackenzie was responsible for being a huge part in most of the memories that defined my childhood. From my small victories to my big mistakes, Mackenzie was constantly right by my side, always supporting and standing up for me, as I would do the same for her. From birth to this day, Mackenzie has been my right hand, my go to, and my partner in crime.…

My sixth grade summer was one I will never forget. It was also the point in time where my life took a complete turn and flipped upside down on me. The beginning of my sixth grade summer, which was all the way back in the year 2011, was actually a great time for me for a lot of reasons. I’d still consider the summer of 2011 to be the best I’ve ever had. I was outside all day, every day either at the park or riding bikes around town with my friends. Everything I did that summer I did with my best…

This wouldn’t have been a huge problem except that I liked to lay out on our trampoline in the backyard and get a tan. That is not too abnormal for girls in the 80’s, in fact we would lather baby oil all over us and wear black swimsuits to attract even more sun. My problem was I would leave my house in my suit and only my suit, no…
