About Alyse
I am 11 years old and I was born in San Antonio,
Texas, at Wilford Hall (hospital) on December 18, 1996. My
dad is in the military, so we've moved a lot. After I lived
in Texas, I moved to Tennessee, then Missouri, then Mississippi,
back to Missouri, and then to Hawai'i. In Mississippi, my mom
was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer, just before
hurricane Katrina threatened the whole Gulf of Mexico. She
and my dad
went to Missouri for better cancer treatment while my brother,
my grandma, some friends, and I evacuated to more northern
Mississippi. We met up with my mom and my dad in St. Louis,
Missouri, after
the hurricane passed. We were all there for 3 months until
we moved here. We arrived at the Honolulu International Airport
on January 1, 2005. I went to Lanikai Elementary Charter School
for the second semester of 3rd grade, St. Andrews Priory for
4th grade and the first semester of 5th grade. Now I go here,
Le Jardin Academy. My mom passed away on August 20, 2007, at
2:29 am. In conclusion, my life would probably take more than
three pages to write down. So far, it's been the best 11 years
of my life.
