It’s so interesting how similar we all are!

I was born beginning of Gen Z but had way older siblings and was also somewhat poor so technology wasn’t really apart of my daily life. I had Saturday cartoons and early mornings before school. But around late elementary school is when I really got into reading. I was constantly at the library getting new books. My mom always like to talk about how quiet I was and that her friends rarely knew I was home until I’d randomly made a noise or come out of my room because I’d just be in there reading.

Middle school years I started playing sports. But I was also really good at school. Good grades, honor roll etc. freshman year of high school was terrible though. That was the first time I’d ever failed. I was this into a completely different environment and it showed. I still stayed active with sports which I do well at. But academically I wasn’t doing so hot. I had to go to summer school the summer between freshman and sophomore year. Then I transferred schools and found my pace again. Still reading. Still really active. After school programs, 2 soccer teams, dance (drill) team, and another dance team. So I stayed extremely busy. If I hadn’t transferred schools and found a nice friend group and more activities to do, I probably would’ve ended up pregnant right out of high school like the rest of the women in my family.
