Garden of Eden

Within six days God created light, the sky, lands and seas (and plants and such), the sun, moon, and stars, the animals, and man and then declared the seventh day a day of rest. From the man’s rib, God created a female companion for him. His only instruction to them whilst living in the Garden of Eden was to not eat from a certain tree. However, the woman was tempted by a snake and she and the man both ate from the tree, learned that they were naked, and felt embarrassed. God punished them by banishing them from the Garden of Eden, shortening their lives, having them work for their food, having to experience sickness, and having to experience the pain of childbirth.

My origin story is much less eventful. My mother moved to the United States from China to study at Morehead University, where she met my father who is from Malaysia. I lived in Morehead the first two years of my life with my older half brother until they decided that it was a bit too small and moved to Lexington where I’ve lived since. I went to Rosa Parks from Kindergarten until 2^nd grade when I tested into the Quest program at Meadowthorpe for the rest of elementary school. Since then I’ve just stayed in the program and that’s really about it.
