| Your Personal Biography |
I was the one who grew up behind the firehouse on 23 in Worthington, Ohio. Our neighbors, the Honeycuts still live in the house that was once next to ours. I turned 2 and we lived in Allendale, NJ where my sister saved me from drowning in our above ground swimming pool and tricked me into eating black ants. At age 7 we lived in a ranch style house in suburbia Edmond, OK. My sister and I would watch Native Indians ride horses across the asphalt streets of Kicking Bird Lane. In Montvale, NJ we spent hours at the neighbors who owned more arcade games than a pizza hut restaraunt. We didn’t stay very long in the NJ house which seemed to have a cloudy forecast everyday of the week. I remember the day when the water from the upstairs toilet started dripping from the kitchen ceiling onto our pancakes. At that time, my father announced over our soggy cakes that we would be moving to Tokyo, Japan. It was a relief to leave NJ. Being 8, I imagined Tokyo to be this ancient world where even animals walked the streets. Of course, it was just the opposite. Living downtown was fast paced and much more modern. It still had its culture though. In Tokyo, my brother had a great idea to climb the 8 story high rise and throw water balloons off to see which Japanese business man we could force to yell obscenities in Japanese. On the more cultural side of life there, we could listen for the sweet potato man to pull his cart behind him with its ancient speakers singing a Japanese Hymn. It took a 45 minute train ride to reach school. Our school was populated with kids from all over the world. If you could speak english or your parents wanted you to, you could attend my school. At home, we nick-named our doorman kiwihead because we couldn't pronounce his real one and his hair was always cut with just a stubble left. We sat behind Prince Charles and Princess Diana in a pew at our local church. When it was time to pack our bags, we traveled slowly to visit countries like Thailand, Malaysia, South Korea, China, Germany, France, Italy, Austria, and Switzerland. After we had seen and done so much, we settled back in the U.S. in a small town called Ridgefield, CT just outside the city of Danbury. I grew up somewhat fast and fit in as if I had lived there my entire life. I had my first job at 14 at the local hardware store on Main St. I took up horse back riding when I was 15 and started working for 2 brothers with 7 polo ponies who played at Yale. I worked for a family taking care of their horses and 3 daughters while their dad ran a construction business. And as if I was never there, we hammered in another for sale sign in the front yard of our house at 8 Trails End Lane. Circling back, we came here to OH and moved to a similar neighborhood where we first began. For the moment, being 30 has been somewhat different than the life I had lived growing up. Despite the constant change, I would never change a thing about the way things had occurred. Currently I have just finished school and continue to ponder the places I will newly discover and the ones I can re visit. Since my moving around enough, I tend to be somewhat socially inept, but I strive to keep looking for some common ground. I love to learn about how people deal with the obstacles they need to cross. I find it difficult to know those who cannot open up their minds. |
