I was born in France. Every time I tell someone this, there response is always a "really?!" or "that's so cool!". Some people don't even believe me but I don't care. I have been in Paris and also got to go the Eiffel Tower. I wasn't even one years old yet.

Around the age of one, my family moved to Germany. In Germany, I remember riding this statue of a green pig every mourning. I know it's really strange. In Germany, I learned to speak fluent German going to preschool. I clearly remember the trains and what they looked like. Besides that I really don't remember much from Germany.

Around the age of 4-5, we moved to Canada. When I went into the daycare, I spoke fluent German so no one understood me. Luckily one of the leaders knew German and helped me out. I still know a couple of words and if you start a conversation I can talk back. I remember going into our first apartment and spinning around until I hit the tv and then fell over. I don't know why I remember that, but I do.

After just one or two years we moved into the house we live in today. I remember being terrified of the toilets. They had a control panel on the side and would light up blue in the daytime and red at night. I needed my mom to be right outside the door because I was that scared. After awhile I got used to it but it still can get scary in the dark.
