Crossing Paths

I would like to remember Chelsea because she did become one of my good friends. I too have enjoyed reading memories of Chelsea as it has brought back many memories for me. I first met Chelsea when I was in elementary school. She lived up the street from me. I didn't really know her well because we moved when I was in second grade (she was in third). I was reacquainted with her in seventh grade as we both went to Hillside Jr. We were in a music class together. I knew her in high school but didn't really get to know her until my senior year. Chelsea would babysit my cousins, the Thatchers and Carley Schneider. I was good friends with Ali my senior year and was getting ready to start my freshman year at the University Of Utah. I remember talking to her about Greek life and that I was planning on going through RUSH week. She always said "hi" to me during that week and when I saw her on campus. The thing I remember the most about Chelsea was how she made my adjustment at the UofU smooth. She was always so pleasant, asking me how my day was going. I believe she was living at the DG house the same time I was living at the KKG house because I saw her a lot on Greek Row. The last time I saw her was at a Fraternity opening social ( I think that is what it was). I remember being honored that she said "hi" to me as she was really popular with everyone. We were planning on getting together for lunch.

Chelsea was a great person, a great example, and someone that I strive to be like. She was always so happy and positive and really made you feel important. I will always remember my first semester up at the UofU and associate it with Chelsea. How she made me feel like I was a friend.
