I’m only sixteen years old and even though that sounds like a lot of years‚ it really isn’t. But within those few years that I have been alive a few things have really developed me through defining moments. My first defining moment was when my mom got sick.

My proudest moment was when I was 9 years old. It was the first day I had been back to horseback riding lessons since I was 6 years old. I had stopped riding when I was six because my horse had thrown me off‚ the winter was pretty harsh on my asthma‚ and my riding instructor told me I needed to take a break.

Everybody told the driver and he was about to stop but then my cousin (Sabastian) put his hands up and then it was game on from there.
