1. Personal History This is my life Christiana Garretson

2. My full name is Christiana Marie Garretson I’m 19 years old and the baby of the family. I have two amazing siblings which are best friends. My sister is 24 and just graduated from UCSD and my brother is 21 and is currently enrolled in Palomar. My mom is my hero, she’s literally the best mom in the world. No matter what she has always been there for me!!!

3. Who I am I’ve struggled with my weight my entire life. For my high school graduation gift my family sent me to the Biggest Loser Resort in Utah for two months. During that time my life was changed in so many ways. I lost 55 pounds and found my first true love, Maxwell. I came home a whole new person inside and out. One month later I packed up my belongings and moved to South Lyon, Michigan. By far this was the best decision of my life

6. My new life Besides going to school and enjoying Professor Arguello’s History class, I’m a Personal Trainer for young kids and teenagers . It is such a reward to give back and help others. I never saw this as my future but I’m so happy that my dream came true 
