I'm pretty easygoing, and I love the outdoors. I love hiking, camping, fishing, horseback riding, and getting dirty. I didn't even care if I got muddy. Some might say I have a little bit of a tomboy in me. I am loyal to the Youngblood family and my siblings. I will never turn on them, no matter what comes our way. I am also a bit adventurous and loving towards my family. I enjoy taking some time to try new things, and I'm not afraid to compete with the guys.

On the other side, I can be stubborn. Once I think of something, it will take a while to say no or change my mind. I am very serious when I get into my work. And it makes me a workaholic when it comes to schoolwork. Or even homework. I am a perfectionist and will make sure it is done, no matter how many times it takes me to finish an assignment. I might be up all night trying to complete it. I can be a little impulsive as I interact with the world around me. I also flirt with some of the guys at school, but who doesn't enjoy doing that when you're my age?

My name is Serina Celia Youngblood. I was the fifth born into the Youngblood family. My parents are Trace Youngblood and Leila Youngblood. I was born on November 15th, when the leaves were changing colors and starting to fall. The colder days were starting to come. But I came into the world crying. I don't believe I gave my parents that hard of a time. But I imagine I gave them some sleepless nights when I was a newborn.

My dad was an outlaw biker. My family pretty much lived and breathed the club. I had a lot of good memories. When I was four years old, I got my first minibike and learned how to ride it. I started trying out sports. I joined Motocross around seven years old and loved it. It was a blast. I loved to ride so much. However, I was good at other sports like horseback riding, tennis, and cheerleading as the other sports I grew up with.

I went into high school as I continued some of the sports like horseback riding and cheerleading, as I couldn’t give up easily. I also started getting interested in guys. I dated one guy who was a part of the football team. Of course, he was all brawn and had no brains; he left me for another cute cheerleader, and boy was I mad for that one. And another guy I dated was a part of the hockey team. He was a tough guy too, but it didn’t seem to last. As he was so focused on hockey, he didn’t seem to have time for me either.

When I was nineteen, my family went on an outing with our bikes. It was something that we did every weekend to forget our troubles. It was an ordinary day until it wasn’t. A day I wasn’t going to forget. My family came up towards a bridge called the Gallatin Bridge over the Gallatin River.A car clipped Jace and Rebekah's bikes. I remember those awful screams from my siblings. And the drunk driver struck my mom’s bike, and the impact sent her flying off the bridge. I had kept driving for a little bit; I stopped and turned around. It felt like time had stopped.

Rebekah and Jace kept screaming from pain until they passed out. I ran towards the bridge to see what happened. Lyra was already on the phone, calling 911. Dread filled me as I saw the smoke. My brothers Ethan, TJ, and Dad went down looking to see if our mother had survived. My siblings were taken to the hospital once the ambulance arrived, and I followed.

I pretty much lived at the hospital. I was exhausted from the crying. I only went home to take a shower, sleep, and would repeat it. My brother Jace had a broken arm, but that didn’t seem to stop him. I heard that the man had been put into custody after being treated for his injuries. I never forgave the man what he did to my family.

After my siblings returned from the hospital, time passed very slowly. I mourned with them and would often retreat to my room. Not eating much for days. I would sometimes doodle, write, or draw in my diary. Like my other siblings, I believe my mother was still alive. And she is out there somewhere. My siblings haven't given up looking for her. They continued to look, knowing that she could still be alive even though the authorities had given up. We still hadn’t. I will be going to the university during the fall and continuing my classes there. I am also training to become a High Mountain Ranger.
