Thrifting and the Middle Class
My earliest memories of thrift shopping are of dark stores with racks jam-packed with dresses, suits, and jackets. Big boxes filled to the brim with children’s clothing, underwear, fashion accessories, and stuffed animals congregated in the middle of the stores. We tore through them, looking for something that fit us and that we liked. Shelves with old toys and books lined the walls, usually in the back.

Memories of the May
Making May Baskets When I was a little girl in Minnesota, we made May Baskets in school. I remember cutting construction paper into strips and weaving them together. We would then fold up the woven sheets and secure them into little boxes with staples or glue, finally stapling on a handle made from a strip of construction paper. We made flowers with tissue and pipe cleaners to fill our little baskets. We would take them home with us to wait until May 1, when we would trudge over to the neighbor's house, hang the baskets on the door, knock, and run. It was great fun.

The day two of my worlds collided
For me, I have very few things that I consider truly important enough in my life that I would call treasures. One of them being my family and another being my love for Power Rangers. It was something I never would have thought imaginable yet I'm glad for the aftermath. I was in my Sophomore year of high school and at a new school at that. My sister and I both attended the same school, Her in her junior year. While attending and looking at the electives, My sister picked a class called Aerialist which is basically teaching people how to do tricks in mid-air and such while I chose to take Karate. Months later, the teachers of that class put on a farewell performance since they were professional performers and travelled around a lot. I decided to go see the performance and thought that the show was one of the coolest things I had ever seen, so I decided to go up to one of them and say hi and tell him what I thought of the show. He enjoyed my complements and in return the two of us began talking for a bit about aerialists and what they do, after that he then told me to keep pushing for my goal, no matter how out of reach it may seem. As much of a teacher-like line it was I still somewhat held onto it subconsciously just like any other bit of advice I was given at the time.

Controversial things I do as a first time mom:
I am a first time mom to a sassy, fierce, beautiful 7 month old. She is the best part of my world, and I can already tell that she’s going to change the world one day. She knows exactly what she wants, and she doesn’t accept anything less than that. As frustrating as that is right now as her mom, I love that for her.

A Small Moment in my life that had a big Impact
This is fact of life that we all encounter significant moments in our lives, but there are some experiences that have the power to completely shift our perspective. As I transitioned into adulthood, I began to notice immense pressure placed on newly married couples to have a son. Despite my personal beliefs, I found it challenging to speak out against this societal norm. I've always valued the importance of having a baby girl in a family, but as my pregnancy progressed and I reached my sixth month, the expectations of society started to weigh heavily on my mind, pulling me towards the desire for a baby boy.
