Cherished Memories: An Autobiography
I was born on August 20, 2001, in Chesapeake, Virginia. I am the second child to my parents, Richard and Tiffany Philpot. My parents told me that I was a surprise because the doctors told them that my mother could not have any more children after my older brother, Cameron.
I do not remember anything from when I was a baby. My mother told me that I liked to chatter and to listen to music, especially if it was from Barney. However, I do remember when I was around three years old my sister, Celeste, was born. I remember being excited to have a sister after only having a brother for as long as I could remember. I soon found out, sadly, that babies do not make very good playmates, as they have to

The year I turned five, my second brother, Christian, was born. I remember my parents going to the hospital and my siblings and I staying with my god-family. My godmother, Aunt Jen, made us some special tee shirts for the occasion. Mine was a bright pink shirt that said “Big Sister” in a magenta colored puffy paint. I was excited to have a new baby in the household and I really liked to hold him all by myself because it made me feel grown up.
Not long after Christian was born, we moved from Chesapeake, Virginia to Prince George, Virginia for my father’s job. It was not a big deal for me to move since I was homeschooled and I was only five. I did not have to switch from any schools and I did not have a huge emotional connection to my old house. I remember the moving process pretty well with all the storage units and moving trucks. I rode in one of the U-Haul moving trucks that had three seats in the front. I felt so mature riding up front and sitting between my brother and my father as we went on our way to the new house.
A few months after we moved, I did a couple of extracurricular activities to meet some of the children in the area. One of the things I did was joining a Girl Scout troop. This is where I met friends that I would become very close to and we would stay friends for a long time. Another activity I started was dancing. I did all types of dance: ballet, tap, baton, and so on. I loved dance class with my teacher and my dance teammates,
I remember waking up that morning anticipating his arrival into our room. We went to get breakfast down in the hotel restaurant. We talked the entire time about exciting it was to finally meet my new little brother. We finished up breakfast and headed back up to the hotel room to get ready for the day. We were not supposed to meet my brother until later in the day, so we decided to do a
When I was 11 years old I had moved from San Diego, California to Mount Juliet, Tennessee. It was a difficult challenge to face. I had to leave my friends I have been with since 5 years old to a place I have only visited once before in my life. Also the Environment was completely different. I have made a major change moving here.
Moving around from town to town happened quite often when I was younger. I always mirage living in one house my whole life and never having to know the feeling of leaving good friends behind. The move from Michigan to Illinois was definitely the most arduous. Elise, one of my best friends, had been with me from the first day I walked into Rummer Elementary to when we were crying on my porch the day before I left Michigan three years later. I expected this to be the last time we saw each other. I had done this enough that I realized she would move on or the six hour drive would keep us separated till we eventually gave up. My mother promised me it would be different this time, I thought she was only trying to keep me from becoming an misanthropist,
I was born on April 23, 1928, in Santa Monica, California. My mother and father were a banker and a housewife with two older children. My father being George Francis Temple, and my mother being Gertrude Temple. My two older brothers were John Stanley Temple being the oldest of us all, and George Francis Temple, Jr. being the second oldest.
When I was about 11 years old I moved to Canton Michigan from Las Vegas Nevada. It was a dramatic change in my life. Not only is it quite a distance from Nevada. But there was also a different outcome that were made from the people to the weather and not being able to see my dad anymore.
For as long as i could remember I had lived in New York, so the first time we moved it was difficult for both my sister and me. When I was about 6 and she was 4 we moved to Dover, Delaware Air Force base. The fact that my step dad was in the Air Force made my sister and me closer. Going to a new state and not knowing anyone there my mom my sister and i never really felt at home. My step dad knew all his buddies from basic training and most of them lived on base near us so that was not a problem for him.
When I was four months old I started to sit up by myself. Once I was five months old I went on my first vacation to the beach. I also
I moved to Florida when I was thirteen, I remember being extremely excited, due to the lack of snow, and my family and I would go to Miami for vacation, and moving there would be like to move to the vacation.
In 2009 my family and I moved from Chicago to Dubuque. I was 6 years old when we moved to Dubuque and it has really help me to be who I am today. My family and I packed up our bags and got on the road to Dubuque. The reason we moved to Dubuque was because of my dad's work. My dad works at Bodine Electric Company as an accountant. I would say it was a really emotional move but I was only six and I probably didn’t really care. When we got to Dubuque we checked into the Grand Harbor hotel/waterpark where my sister and I had some fun in the water, after that we looked at some houses and eventually chose the one I'm still living in today.
When we did finally move from my childhood home in Illinois to our new home in Knoxville, Tennessee, the only thing I could think about was how isolated and scared I felt. What was it going to feel like on my first day of class when I was surrounded entirely by strangers? I will always vividly remember walking into my new high school and feeling so lost. Every class I walked into was an alien environment and I had to struggle to keep my composure.
When I was nine years old, my parents, two siblings, and uncle decided that it was time for us to move from Missouri up to chilly Massachusetts. Both my uncle and father were construction workers. There were so many projects in Massachusetts, it was sensible for us to move. Financially, this was also the solution to our money problems. All around we were all very excited for this move, all except for myself.
At the age of 4 or 5 we moved down the road from my grandmother, in a nice 2 bedroom brick house, one bath, where I am currently living now. It was only my mom, dad & I living there for about 10 years, then my mom ended up getting pregnant & had another child. It caused the house to become a little cramped up as my sister got older. More
I was born on January 27,1921 in Denison ,Iowa. I was the oldest of five
I was born in Ormond Beach, Florida on October 25, 1997. One year later, we moved to Cleveland, Ohio. It was there where my father completed his residency at the Cleveland Clinic and my little brother was born.
In 1986 my mother divorced my father and moved my brother and I from a small town in Pennsylvania to a small town in New Jersey. My mother chose this particular town because of its close proximity to family members. The house my mother grew up in and that my grandmother still lived in was two houses away from our new house. Also, my aunt and uncle lived about three houses away. With her new life as a single mother with two kids the convenience of it all was too hard for her to pass up.
