Prior to my freshman year I was home schooled my entire life. I started competitive figure skating when I was 10 and I fell in love with it. I went to the ice rink literally everyday. I did my homework there with one of my old best friends who was home schooled as well and we skated the rest of the day. It was my life. In 8th grade I had to give up that dream because my parents could not afford it anymore. We had lost our home, we moved into the town I'm at now a few months after and I basically had to cope and start a new life. The beginning of my freshman year, like any person that age, I was trying to find myself. I felt so lost and out of place. I was not used to regular school hours, I could not focus and had no motivation to do my homework. I just wanted to curl up in my bed and never leave the house. I was depressed. My sophomore year Is when I started getting into photography. I finally found something to be passionate about again. I made my first flickr account back in 2011 and started taking photos of anything and everything. I remember these girls constantly made fun of me and my photos and did everything they could to make me feel worthless, at times it sure did work but I overcame everything and I just want to give a big thanks to all those people, you pushed me to become a better artists and made me strive to be more then what you said I could do. Although life isn't perfect now its pretty damn close. I found an amazing boyfriend, I have gained so much more confidence in myself, and I can not believe how much I have grown since I first picked up a camera. If you would have told me this is where I would be in life 3 years ago I would have laughed at you. I am very proud of myself and what I have become from all of this and I can't wait to see where life takes me these next upcoming years.
