Meet SAM:
The Woman Behind The Camera…
…Part Three!
Left - For those who had the pleasure of knowing My Grandpa (he was one of a kind and is missed every single day)...Everyone knows how much he loved to Travel. In fact....He was THE BEST Travel Planner I knew. He started My Wanderlust back when he and My Grandma took me to Orlando, Florida for My First BIG TRIP. Which was only the Beginning of A Tradition of going on A Trip with My Grandparents every single year until I was in Community College. By the time I went to a University it was time for me to start planning My Own Trips...But I learned from THE BEST!
Middle - One of My Dad's Favorite Memories with me is A (VERY RARE) Big Snow we got in North Carolina while I was in Sixth Grade!
Right - While I was in High School I went to The Windy City for The First Time with My Grandparents. I still haven't been back to visit since and would like to. My Grandpa was born in Chicago so it of course meant a lot to him. I'm not a big fan of heights...But I remember My Grandpa being so proud of me for going in the Sears Tower (now Willis Tower) as well as on the Navy Pier's Ferris Wheel even though I was hesitant to!
Left - This was taken at My Beach Themed / Hawaiian Luau Sweet 16! I remember My Aunt found My First Gray Hair while she curled My Hair. & My Mom made me a Beach Birthday Cake!
Middle - My First Flight was to & from New York City. My Grandparents & I stayed in Times Square. We saw The Lion King on Broadway. I remember being so fascinated while visiting The Statue of Liberty as well as Ellis Island. We also took a Tour of NYC on a Double Decker Bus!
Right - During My Senior Year I learned to play The Guitar for My Senior Project...But I unfortunately haven't played it since. I took Theatre I as an Elective and ended up Auditioning for The Spring Musical: " Bye Bye Birdie!" I was a Featured Dancer, Part Of The Ensemble, & even had my own Solo Line (I was Penelope Ann in "Telephone Hour")! When I Graduated from High School I was absolutely terrified to look into My Future. I had no clue what I wanted to do with My Life. So I decided to stay home and attend Community College for Two Years. I earned My Associate's Degree in Pre-Major Special Education before Transferring to a Four Year University!
