Me by the Numbers

Me by the Numbers

Numbers have always been my thing. I started counting as soon as I could speak, learned how to count in two other languages and have always had a passion for math. Numbers will also be a part of my future career as I am currently working towards a degree in Accounting. The following are numbers that are meaningful to me.

I’d like to start off with the number 19. It holds a lot of significance in my life. First of all, it’s my birthday. I was born on February 19, 1992 at 3:19 in the morning at Henry Ford Hospital in Wyandotte, Michigan. I was also 19 inches long when I was born, giving the number even more of a special meaning.

With that being said, the number 19 has always been my number one choice in usernames, emails and jersey numbers. Growing up, I was a big hockey fan, mostly due to my father always watching the games and dressing me and my siblings up in Red Wings attire. My dad even built us a mini ice rink in our backyard in the winter to get us on the ice to shoot around hockey pucks. For that reason, the number 19 also belongs to my favorite former Red Wings player Steve Yzerman.

Alexis, my mom, Alyssa and Me - 2012

Another number that is of importance to me is the number two. Not only is it a part of my birthday and birth month, it also represents my two sisters. My sisters, Alyssa and Alexis are both younger than me and we’re all two years apart in age with each other; Me being born in ’92, Alyssa being born in ’94 and Alexis being born in ’96.

Daniel and I - June 2012

The number two also holds the number of times my heart was broken before I finally met the love of my life. I met my boyfriend Daniel back in 2010 and two years later (there’s that number two again) we started dating. Unfortunately, nothing is always rainbows and sunshine. The two number is also the number of times we have broken up. Although it was never more than a week apart, I still remember them. 2012 was by far one of the most significant years in my life and with the number two having a lot of significance elsewhere, it seemed right that my most impressionable year for me would start and end with that number.

The number 27 is the last number of true meaning in my life. It is a part of not only my anniversary with Daniel, but my parents as well. Mine and Daniel’s anniversary is May 27 and my parents’ anniversary is August 27. 

My Mom & I - July 2017

Another reason why the number 27 holds importance in my life is because it was the age that my mother was when she had me. I look up to my mother for being such a strong, kind and caring woman. She has helped shaped me into the person I am today.

 Seeing these numbers in my life and looking back on their importance makes me smile. I hope that these same numbers continue to bring more importance and memories as I continue to go on in life.
