To many of you, I still am a child

but I'll tell you about my early life anyways becouse there's a TON to say! Other people my age can't imagine having my life! First, I'm (almost) 16 and I'm the firstborn.
I was born in Georgia when my mom was 18 and had just graduated from high school. To this day I've still never met or seen my dad, and when I was two months old we moved to Tennessee so that she could go to college there. She had me towards the end of her first year of college (obviously, since my bday is on Saturday lol yay!!). When she graduated at 22 (almost 23), I was 5 and I was going to start school that summer. When I started kindergarten, I realized that I was really the only kid in the class without a dad, and everytime I came home and saw my mom I kind of wondered what it would be like to have a dad around.
The summer after kindergarten I moved back to Georgia, and I went to 1st and 2nd grade there. I started pretending like I had a dad just so I wouldn't have to feel left out. I loved Georgia, though! It's the best place I've ever lived! Continuous sunshine......100 degree weather.....LOVE IT!! lol
Then I moved to Indiana just before 3rd grade. I was made fun of at school for my accent (which I trained myself to get rid of, thank goodness!) and that's where my nickname Peaches came from! My mom got married the summer after 4th grade, which caused me to have to change schools AGAIN and from that I gained two stepbrothers and a half-sister, Bailey.
My mom divorced him after 2 and a half years, but Bailey still lives with us. So now I'm in high school and I'm a struggling musician (LOL I've always wanted to say that!). I work in a bookstore right now since my mom has kind of a hard time trying to pay for everything and raise me and my sister, so I have to pay for a lot of things myself.

I'm very close with my grandparents. They've always taken me on vacations and bought me things that I need (they're rich even though they won't admit it!). I think that sometimes I've spent TOO much time wiht them! lol
My mom and I are pretty close, but I'm a very private person so I don't tell people much about what's going on in my life. My sister and I are pretty much required to be close since I have to spend every second with her! lol

All in all, after going to 5 different schools and moving so much, I think I've become pretty independent and everything and I've been very happy! I'm working on a demo album to send out, with help from my mom's boyfriend who runs the recording system at my church. So I'm hoping that works out with that!

Ok I know this was long, but I've never told anyone my whole story before, so I figured this was as good of a time as any!
