I grew up on a lake in Chanhassen, Minnesota. During the 14 years my family lived there I saw my town grow from a small farming community to a major suburb of Minneapolis. Before we moved to our second home in Chanhassen I would spend my summers along Lake Anne swimming, fishing, and canoeing. Things were simple in Chanhassen. I bounced between a few schools, searching for, but never quite fitting in. I went through a tough period, got in some fist fights, and wound up in private school for 2 years. After I finished middleschool my family moved to Utah and I started my freshman year. I discovered drama class and for the first time really felt that I might fit in with a group of people. My sophomore year I moved schools yet again because of district lines. I had a number of friends and really had the most amazing year of my life. At the end of that year after flying back from a mission trip to Russia my family packed its bags and we moved to Virginia.
