I came into this world March 26, 1990. I was born a wonderful TEN POUNDS, which led to a C-section for my mom (thank goodness lol) haha, and I'm the eldest child. My parents took to me to my eastlake home and yes had one of those wooden stork signs proclaiming my birth. I had 2 wonderful years of being a single child until Raelene came around ( HAHAH TOTALLY KIDDING). My sister, Stephanie Raelene was born and I asked my Mom if I could have her. And she said yes =] So... im Rae's mom! haha. Then began the wonderful accounts of Rae and Jae, but thats another story. Im Janessa. I go by Jae sometimes. Its a relitively new nick name spurring from Princess Jae. My oldest nick name is Jacy. It was supposed to be JC but i was a rebel and changed the spelling on my mom. Oh, because my middle name is Christine. Other nick names are Nessa, Janess, Ness Ness, and Jane. I like to blog. I like to write. I sing dance act and graphic design. Im a computer science major because its somewhat interesting and starting salary is around 75K. I love God with all my heart and want to love him more and am dedicating my life to him. I hope that everything I do glorifies him. I wish more than anything else that concerns my life to find the man that God has made just for me, fall in love, and be married. My mom thinks im crazy... anyway. I also love to sit on my roof. I can see the whole city and think, and take notice of all God's beautiful world. It also reminds me how small I am in comparison of the world.
I joined In Motion Dance Studio when i was 3 years old taking tap and jazz. A love for dance soon grew inside of my soul. It in someways emcompasses who I am. Though i'm not as good as i wish, and I havn't been in a class for so long now - i love it. I love story telling, conveying emotion, and yes praising God through dance. Dance has been a part of everything ive ever done and really sparked my love for performing.
At the age of 5 I began to sing. Well, i probably sang before, but i joined the church choir at Otay. We were known as "Kingdom Kids" and my mom was the director. I still remember me, Rae, Lisette, and Isaac Murrio singing F-A-I-T-H You gotta have faith! haha. I also remember being SO HAPPY when i was finally old enough to join the "Kings Kids" choir, only the next week we left Otay to go start Lighthouse. From there my singing focused on Christian Youth Theatre shows and in my vocal classes in middle and high school.
I became aware that even though I had classes, and could sight read, i still palled in comparison to my sister who was more naturally talented. It took years for me to learn that I don't need to compare to her. She is blessed, and i am blessed in other ways. I never joined my church choir because as soon as i was about to, they made it a requirement to be baptized. I was stubborn, and still unbaptized. By the time I was I was working, and starting school and couldn't commit. I love singing praise team for Vacation Bible School. I love children and hope to be blessed with some someday, but at VBS i feel like i can be the child I am, singing and dancing, and just having a great time praising God. I joined the Southern California District Choir and honestly feel that is where I belong. I love it with all my heart and can't wait to see where we go.
When i was 3 we moved to Bonita and I went to Little People's Preschool. This is where I grew a love for the outdoors. We lived in a cool house on sweetwater road that had a barn in front! For a while we had two sheep named Casper and Lucy? I forget the other ones name... Anyway. This is where I was a tomboy. Haha. I played outside with lizards rather than in the house with dolls. My dad had no boys so naturally, as his eldest, I would help with the outside work and helped him out when he fixed cars, he let me change the oil, climb on scaffold, paint, and other "boyish" stuff. I rebeled against all things considered girly... haha... while this stage in my life was, fun, I am so glad i have learned the err of my ways and can assure you, though im not completly girly girl, I still am very girly =] . Oh, and WILL run and scream at the sight of a spider. =]
I went to Rancho Del Rey Middle School and then Eastlake high school where I developed a love for Africa. I became involved in the invisible children program because one of my directors from CYT filmed it. I became founder and president of the club at my school and raised around $700 for kids on Africa. I would LOVE to go there one day. I even spent 24 hours, spending the night in balboa park to cause attention to the 20 year long war going on there right now.
... and this is were i'm like Misa and leave you with a cliff hanger and say
To Be Continued!...
