1999-2003 Springfield Central High School- High School
Life was so much simpler in these days. I went to school, worked when I wanted to and ate whatever I wanted... WHENEVER~ Volleyball, soccer, track and field and cheerleading. I played a sport every season since I was a child. I danced and acted and was full of life. As I look back now I can see when I changed. My parents went through a messy split when I was in the 11th grade and that is when I made sports my life. I would work out all day after school come home, take a shower and went to bed to avoid the chaos. On top of all the mess with my parents I had a pretty typical boyfriend. He was a high school jock who truly lived up to his title. He plaid sports all day, all year and talked about it all the time. I loved him, he lied to me and cheated over and over again. More Stress. Although I cried like a new born child leaving my suburban life style in Springfield, Massachusetts to attend a HBCU in Petersburg, Virginia was the fresh air I needed.
2003. This was not an easy year for me and those who know me already know this. 2003 I was 17yrs old, MVP of my high schools track and field team, my parents were going through a messy split and my boyfriend was a typical high school jock, unconcerned and sleeping with whatever walked. I was 120lbs pure muscle and off to college I went August 2003. (I'll post my prom pic soon as I get my scanner set up.)
