i was born seventeen years ago in a small town called prospect. i was born to laura price, who is a veterinarian, and benji price who is a science teacher at the high school. i have one older brother and a little sister. i grew up in the middle-upper class of the small new york town. when i was one year old, my first word was 'music'. i guess that one word has kind of shaped my life since then.
when i was four years old my mother put me into a dance class. i learned ballet and many other dances that i still use most of the time today. when i was five i got to take a singing class, which i fell in love with. throughout the next few years i learned to play the piano and guitar, and i was actually pretty good then. when i was in third grade my mother got a job offer to take cake of horses in another small town down in kentucky. she accepted it eagerly, and took the entire family down there to live on a small farm. my dad couldn't find a good job, so he home-schooled my brother, sister and i for a few years.
we rather enjoyed the freedom of it. we were the only kids who were home-schooled in that small city, so we had the ability to be more active in events and activities around the town. we all were able to focus on our favorite hobbies more as well. my brother liked to work with animals, just like my mother. thus, my mom decided that it would be a great idea to get each one of us kids our own horse (at that time they were just babies), to teach us about what our brother loved to do. we all enjoyed taking care of the horses, and once they were big enough, we even took to riding them. normally, after we were done with our lessons, we would spend most of our time out in the stables. my little sister was really into drawing and fashion. she'd spend hours cuddled up to her horse drawing anything she saw down to the absolutely perfect of details. i myself would normally only dance when i was giving my horse a bath, with the music blaring as loud as it would go. i normally utilized my singing ability when i was alone, as i seemed to have developed stage fright.
we grew up like this until my brothers senior year of high school (my junior year and my sisters freshman year). the ranch my mother worked for closed down because the owner had died. she helped sell all the horses but two, and took it upon herself to pay for them herself. we then moved back to prospect and found a new small farm on the very outskirts of the town. we were able to have some stables built so we could keep our horses. we seemed to have acquired three cats and a dog along the way, but they mostly stay out in the barn, unless it's raining.
when we first got here we really didn't know it we were going to be sent to a real high school. we really didn't seem very ready for it, nor did we like the idea at first. well, our father ended up getting a job at the local high school as a science teacher, once again. we felt a little better about going, so we started our first year of real high school. granted it was the middle of the year, but we still seemed to get our social and physical skills down pretty quickly.
soon after, my parents sent my siblings and i off to this boarding school because we each got a scholarship. we were happy to go, but we all came to miss our horses. i guess now we're all just hoping they'll create an equestrian team here. a girl could only hope! well, now i'm running with people of my own interests. music and dancing. two of my three main talents. though, i don't know how to act around these people...
