| Your Personal Biography |
was born in Belize city, Belize in the autumn of 88.My mother, Jennifer, named me America because she wanted to come to America. A few months later, she got her wish. My mom left me when I was almost a year old to come to America where she worked two jobs and modeled so she could come back to get me. I grew up with my grandmother untill my mom brought me to the U.S. at the age of six.
Before coming to America, I knew next to nothing about processed food and products, and the fast life. My grandmother, uncle, and I lived off the land which was mainly jungle including wild herbs, fruits, and vegetables. we lived a very simple life close to nature. The parrots and tucans we saw and heard were in the wild and not in cages or Zoo's. You could hear monkeys screeching as they settled their family fueds in the tree tops. The boa's and poinsonous snakes were a part of our comunity and we all attended to our own business.
Upon arriving in the U.S. my education of life was a 180 degree turn about.I met my nine month old brother Zen. Both my parents were working full time while I babysat my brother. During that time I was introduced to an uneconomical way of life. I had been raised on natural, fresh, and mainly raw foods. The canned and processed dead fruits, vegetables, and sweets were all foreign to my tastebuds. The taste was new and interesting and I started to enjoy it.
The school was interesting in that everything was planned and controlled down to the second whereas back home in Belize, we had much freedom, creativity, and played in the dusty schoolyard creating our own games. The swing sets and slides in the U.S. were all new adventures which I had to adapt to.
At the age of eight, we moved to Ukiah, California. Dad (Aaron) gave up his paintig jobs to become an air conditioner and appliance repair man so he could support his family. Mom stayed home, pregnant with my youngest brother Zoren. Life gained speed for me as I watched and learned the high speed pace of the American society.
We then moved to Florida when i was almost 13 and was quite happy in the warmer weather. During this time, I learned how to grow my own vegetables, and wheatgrass hydroponically in ocean water. I helped my grandfather, Donald Jansen, with his wheatgrass and vegetable production farm.
A few days after I turned eighteen, we moved to Illinoise. My mother and I setup and ran an ocean grown wheatgrasss business. My parents wanted my brothers to be homes chooled rather than public education in which i assisted. After eight months, I moved out, and headed for Florida. I am now living in Forida, with my husband and our beautiful son, who is now 3 months old.
During my life, i've had many ups and downs which facilitated my maturity. If I had a choice to go back and change anything in my life, I wouldnt alter anything, because I wouldnt be where I am today and have the understanding that i've accumulated. It has helped me to gain a broader perspective of life for which i am grateful.
