{6229}{6299}I grew up in Hot Springs,|Arkansas
{6314}{6400}with my younger brother, Kyle,|and my mother and father.
{6498}{6570}My father died when I was|four in a car accident.
{6571}{6639}He was hit by a drunk driver.|T-boned.
{6646}{6694}It was a closed|casket funeral.
{6841}{6985}My mother was|undiagnosed bipolar and
{7034}{7082}self-medicated with alcohol.
{7107}{7275}After my father died, it was challenging|for her to manage Kyle and I.
{7309}{7453}And one day when I was 12,|I came home and found her
{7465}{7536}what I thought was passed|out on her bedroom floor.
{7617}{7761}I grabbed her by the hair and pulled her|out and she was actually not breathing.
{7857}{7909}After that,|we moved around even more.
{7919}{8039}Kyle and I were kept together for|a little while and then separated.
{8064}{8159}And we just took it|out on each other.
{8195}{8243}So we didn't want|to stay in touch.
{8282}{8313}I did very well|in high school.
{8331}{8383}I enjoyed science immensely.
{8432}{8624}I knew in the 11th grade that I was|destined to become a marine biologist.
{8657}{8695}And I took my studies|very seriously.
{8731}{8781}I didn't have a|lot of friends.
{8798}{8870}Because I didn't know|how to be a girl, really.
{8944}{9052}I graduated with honors and received|a full ride scholarship to UCLA.
{9116}{9200}Which was amazing because I knew I|was going to get to see the ocean.
{9225}{9328}And I was able to lead an|expedition off the coast of Mexico
{9347}{9443}to study the communication|methods of the Humboldt squid.
{9490}{9550}They change color|through bioluminescence.
{9553}{9617}They flash,|they communicate with light.
{9651}{9725}The Mexican fisherman|called them “Diablo rojo”
{9732}{9788}because of how|aggressive they are.
{9805}{9855}My diver had to|wear chainmail.
{9923}{9956}I did not go into the water.
{10010}{10058}My diver’s name was Scott.
{10206}{10235}Well, we'll call him Scott.
{10271}{10343}Scott and I developed|a very close friendship
{10355}{10417}spending so much time|together on the boat
{10419}{10457}and we fell in love.
{10519}{10567}He was my knight|in shining armor.
{10593}{10617}Literally.
{10636}{10721}Although if he was too shiny,|that's when he got attacked.
