Hey there, everyone. I wanted to post another writing prompt, and I found one I have never tried before. The writing prompt states "Make a timeline of your life!" I'm just going to do this using the moments I consider to be important in my life, and I'm doing it by year rather than exact date, so here we gooo....
1985 - I was born.
1990 - My first eye surgery.
1991 - I started the first grade.
1992 - My second eye surgery.
1993 - My third, and last, eye surgery.
1996 - I started my first year of middle school (6th grade).
1999 - I became a freshmen in high school.
2001 - My Grandmother, my only living Grandparent (and the only Grandparent I knew), had passed away. :(
2002 - My first boyfriend.
2003 - I graduated high school.
2006 - I turned 21 years old.
2006 - My first job, outside of babysitting, as a cashier/sales associate.
2007 - I started working in Convention Child Care and as a Substitute Teacher.
2008 - I attended college for a semester to obtain my 90 Hour Certification in Child Care.
2008 - I also obtained my learners permit and completed driver's ed.
2009 - I got my feet wet in freelance writing by submitting articles here and there to Associated Content.
2010 - I started working full time as a freelance writer, submitting to websites such as Associated Content, Bukisa and Triond.
2011 - I moved on to websites such as Textbroker and Zerys.
2011 - I also got slapped with anxiety and some depression (it was mainly anxiety though), but started working on it shortly after. I wound up taking almost two months off writing though.
2012 - I started feeling like myself again, and even got back into my writing and obtained my first private client.
2013 - I attended my first WWE Wrestlemania, which was also my first big vacation, with some of my close friends. It was in NJ/NY, and I spent almost a whole year saving up to make it work.
2013 - Sadly, I was hit with one of my biggest fears, as I had lost my Daddy to lung cancer. :'(
2014 - I attended my first WWE Royal Rumble in Pittsburgh with a friend. It was only an overnight trip, but it was also planned at the spur of the moment, which made it even better.
2014 - I lost the private client I had for three years, as they went out of business, but worked hard to find other clients and writing teams.
2015 - I attended my first WWE SummerSlam in NYC with my friends; and I also took the train alone at one point, and visited Seaside, NJ for the first time.
2015 - I sat ringside (third row) at a WWE event for the first time, with my best friend.
I want to state that the birth of my nieces and nephews (including my best friend's son) were VERY big moments in my life, but I didn't add them because there's a bunch lol. You get the picture though haha.
Anyways, I guess that about wraps this one up, and maybe I'll have more events or milestones to add to the list soon. I hope you're all doing well, and I'll try to pop back in and post the Gratitude Challenge soon.

It´s impressive! Thirty years of life history! I could not remember much details of my life so as to write my own timeline of my life.
