A House Divided

Summary

Triplet lives in different town from her other siblings.

“Moving to Clay Center, KS from Colorado was a big adjustment for me. Leaving all of the friends I grew up with was definitely the biggest adjustment for me along with the weather change. It is a lot different in Colorado than it is here in Kansas. I am not used to how much it rains, especially in the winter. I am used to really snowy winters where we’d get feet of snow at a time, and here in Kansas, it snows probably not even 3 inches. When I lived there I lived in the country with no neighbors, and now I live in town with neighbors, not something I enjoy.

I'm a triplet and the youngest of 7 kids. I did gymnastics for 10 years and was the state champion at 8 years old.

I have gone through several things such as my parents getting divorced With my dad living 8 hours away and mom living under the same roof as me. To them moving on with other significant others and me having to adjust to it. With my other younger sister and brother living with my dad and me living with my older sister and my older brother just down the street.

Going through friendships, break ups and family problems have made me a stronger person and made me change for the better. I started going to church and believing in God and letting him lead me where I should be. I technically haven’t given back to the community but I have given my friends and everyone I love the care they need and deserve and have been open arms to them, letting them come to my house or taking them out whenever they are having a hard time or a bad day. I will always be there for each and one of them because that is the person I am and changed to be.

The other triplets are both in Colorado. It's weird to not live with them because I lived with them my whole life. I see them mainly on Holidays, but we talk on the phone. I decided to stay in Kansas because I wanted to live with my mom.

When I graduate I want to go to K- Dub college and go into the Air force to be a physical therapist. I want to give back and help others. I have always found joy in helping others and I believe that this would be a good start for me.”
