Located a few miles south of Memphis, Tennessee. I started kindergarten at Walls Elementary where I was diagnosed with dyslexia, which is a learning disability. I continued to attend that school until fifth grade. I've made some friends, but none like my best friend, Brittany. It was strange that we were such close friends because we had very different personalities. After attending Walls Elementary, I went to Lake Cormorant Middle School. Most of the people I went to elementary school with were in middle school, which is also true of high school. I met four other people who would later become my best friends. Middle school felt like where I got lost for a while. I've turned into someone I know I never wanted to be. When it came time to go to high school it wasn't over yet, so we had to spend another year in middle school. Around my sophomore/junior year I started to find myself. I started not caring what people would say or think about me. I realized that I was truly in love with Disney. My family and I had taken many trips to Disney parks in the US when I was younger but I don't remember them, we took a trip to Walt Disney World in 2008 but I didn't seem to enjoy them enough, so I began my Disney obsession. My grades were great, so good that I graduated with the National Honor Society and was in the top fifty
