I’m from Mill Valley, CA. It’s sort of a rich part of California in Marin. I live with my mom and dad and a little brother age 12.  My father has ALS,.

I’ve been sent down in the ranks due to my refusal to drink “quarters,” my ration of a liter of water on a regular basis, under supervision. [This is to make sure the kids are properly hydrated especially beneath the unforgiving Utah August sun.]

I came here from Australia. Yeah, this is definitely a switch for me. I was “misbehaving.” I wasn’t getting along with my Mom.
