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.

Wow! I don't think I could put a timeline on my life. I won't remember much, certainly not when they happened. Of course I've been around a lot more years. LOL!

Very interesting time line. Having followed you for a couple years now, I've seen those posts about you going to the various WWE events. You've done a lot in your life.

Awe thanks. There's still more I want to do (i.e., driving), but I'm sure it will happen one day.

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.
