My Life Story

I was born in Hamilton, Ontario, which is where the rest of my relatives are now. My dad got offered a job in the ministry so we had to move to Saskatoon when I was seven and we have been here since.

I am 25 years old and I have a 5 year-old son and his name is Jordan. I also have a brother who is 27 and he has a baby boy. I also have a sister who is 30 she has two kids. I met my sister when I was 14. She still lives in Hamilton so I don’t see her very much.

My mom works as a machinist at Flexi Coil also known as CNH (Case New Holland); she has worked there for 14 years. She is a very dedicated worker and enjoys her job very much. She is a wonderful mother and grandmother. We have a very close relationship. She does everything she can for me and my son. I have a lot of respect for my mom.

My dad is in a wheelchair and has been for about six or seven years. He was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, a disease that affects your motor skills greatly. He is a very strong but stubborn man. He looks to God to keep him healthy. I love my father very much and I do what I can for him, although at times it is tough.

Once we moved here, we lived in Lawson Heights, and I was put into a Christian School that went from Kindergarten to grade five. I always got good marks in school, and I loved playing a lot of sports.

I first learned to ride my bike when I was about eight years old. rode around the block, and I was so proud of myself that I turned around to talk to my dad; I ended up slamming into the front end of our station wagon and flew forward. That was the end of my bike riding for that day.
