My name is Rhonda Kay Fisher; I was born on March 23, of 1981 at St. Mary’s Hospital in Grand Junction, Colorado. I was 9 LBS 4 Oz and I was 21 inches long. I was born about 4pm on a Monday afternoon. I have one sibling, my brother, his name is William Black. We have the same mom, but different dads. I also have two sisters by the same dad, but I have never met them.

The day I was born both of my parents were very excited and very happy. I was a very intelligent and a very active child. I was crawling at the age 4 months, walking at the age 6 months, my first word was dada, my first complete sentence was “leave me the f*** alone.”

Our family was never big on traditions. But we did have a few, and that was going to church on Sunday and celebrating religious holidays. One of my favorite holidays was Christmas, because we always had lots of food, family, and gifts. Plus, we got to sing Christmas carols and have fun playing with our new toys.

I had one best friend that I grew up with and her name is Katie Catharine Ann Roussin. Her mom and my mom have been best friends for 32 yrs. Katie and I are 2 wks apart. That is how we became friends and we are still best friends to this day.

I remember when I was in the 4th grade we had a field day where there was track, hurdles, long jump, softball throw, and the 100m dash. Well I got a lot of ribbons for being there and I got 3rd place in the 100m dash. I also received 3rd place in my science project, which I can’t remember what it was.

I would have to say my adopted dad, John Landon, had an impact on my life. He has taught me a lot in life. He has taught me how to work on vehicles and how to drive them, how to fish, how to work with animals, He also showed me how to ride horses. He was also the one to help me with my schoolwork.

School was very hard for me, because we moved around a lot. We lived in 4 different states and a lot of different towns. So it was really hard to make friends and learn anything in school. Different schools were at different levels, so there was a lot that I had missed because we could never stay in one spot. There are some things that remember about some of the schools. When we were living in Cope, Colorado I was in the 5th grade and the teachers would send us home with stacks of books to do before the next day. There were nights that I stayed up till midnight trying to do my homework for school the next day, we didn’t get to be a kid. Another school I was going to was in Wiggins, Colorado. I was in the 6th grade, and I was in math and reading resource, well they wanted to hold me back to see if I could do the regular classes. well by the time summer was over with we had moved back to Grand Junction, Colorado. I left Wiggins just learning how to do fractions to knowing how to do algebra, so I never learned how to do percentages until I was trying to get my GED about 6 yrs ago and I took 4 yrs of GED classes and never passed.
