What was the most pivotal moment in your life?

When I was 14, I received the Oprah Winfrey Scholarship to attend Miss Porter's School in Farmington, CT. Yes that's right, the Oprah paid for my tuition and expenses. This financially enabled me to accept my position at the same boarding school her niece went to. The experiences and education attained at Porter's completely changed the tragectory of my life.

Give me two truths and a lie:

I once fell down a waterfall and shattered my knee
When my brother was a baby I was the only one who could calm him when he was crying
I'm a size 5.5 in shoes
