Additional Info
I was born in 1999 in a military family. When the planes hit the twin towers in 2001, my mom knew my father would be sent to war. He was am Army Sargent stationed in Fort Hood, TX and was deployed in early 2004 to Iraq. So that year, my family had settled into the day-to-day routine of waiting till my dad would return. I was five years old and I didn’t know my life was about to be turned upside down.
Early in the morning of Aug 3, 2004, we received a knock on the door that would change our lives forever. My dad had been killed. It wasn’t something a 5-year-old can easily understand or even accept. From that point, I would have to go through life without my father. After almost 2 years of trying to build a new life for ourselves near the Army base, my mother moved me and my sister out of Killeen Texas.
We moved to Cedar Park, TX. It was a way to break from the past and start a new better life for me and my sister. I started the second grade that following year. As I proceeded into middle school, I got involved in the band and later switched to choir. I was in choir for two-and-a-half years, and I truly enjoyed it. In 7th grade, I joined the track team. I competed in the 100 and 400 relays. As I continued to high school, I joined the Color Guard team. I loved Color Guard, as it was physical, and required a strong involvement in the program and a lot of discipline to accomplish all the figures in perfect synchronicity with the band. I would perform at every football game during halftime and got to travel to new places for competitions. My involvement in Color Guard has shaped me into the person I am today. I learned so many skills like leadership, time management, working as a team to achieve a goal, and I made many friends while I was there. I had practice every day after school, while still maintaining an A/B honor roll.
At the end of my sophomore year, my mom re-married, and we moved, which meant I attended a different High School. It was hard to make new friends, and adjusting to the new surroundings was difficult for me. While I was involved in the Dance Guard, it wasn’t as exciting as Color Guard in my previous school and so I looked for other opportunities to do something motivating.
So, during Junior year, I volunteered for "Meals on Wheels" where I delivered prepared food to the elderly in the Austin area, which gave me an interest in the service industry. At the end of that junior year, I decided
