Our family relocated to Georgia from Michigan in 2017.  I have two older brothers, and I have one younger sister.  We all loved our schools, we loved our friends, and we loved our home.  It was a tough move for our family; especially, the kids.  When we lived in Michigan, my oldest brother was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder and my younger sister was his donor for a lifesaving bone marrow transplant.  My dad is in the film industry and was gone all the time making movies.  After Nick survived, our parents decided to relocate to a place where our family could be together all the time.  The film industry thriving in Georgia, so they chose here.

Since I was going into 8th grade in a new state, it was a tough year.  Trying to make friends with people that have been together since kindergarten, knowing they were all heading different directions for high school, made it a not so fun year.  It took me awhile, but I made the most of it.  I started bowling and ended up on the Prodigy Bowler's Tour that I used to watch on YouTube from Michigan!  (Fun fact... I made friends with one of my favorites that I used to watch on the show).  I also jumped into local theatre, started golfing much more frequently (picked up my first hole-in-one), and picked up disc golf along the way.

​

One personal achievement that I am proud of is making the varsity golf team at my high school, Blessed Trinity, as a freshman.  I am proud of this achievement because it showed that I was capable of competing at a high level and helping a team made up of much older and more experienced golfers than me.  The coach told my dad he's taking me on Varsity as a freshman, but I wouldn't be playing in many tournaments.  I am proud to say I played my way into every tournament as a freshman and became their #1 golfer by my junior year.  This made me feel that all the work I had put in before high school paid off.   (Fun fact... When I was a toddler, I used to dig holes in the yard to putt into.  My parents were planning to call someone to take care of our "groundhog issue," so I had to fess up.  They were amazed and bought me my first set of clubs!!)
