Aurora

My name is Aurora Rachel Kischessay Bernard, I was born on a homestead in Northern Ontario, Canada near The Mississauga Indian Reservation by Blind River. The night I was born the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) were shining down.Thus my parents named me Aurora. I come from a rich cultural background of American Indian(Odawa and Ojibwe),Filipino,Spanish, English,and Irish. My grandfather stowed away on a ship from the Phillipines at the age of thirteen to come here to marry a Native girl. He met my Grandmother while working in Chicago. He asked her out and on their first date he proposed and she accepted. What I find really funny About the story is that he told everyone back home "Iam going to America and going to marry an Indian." I have one older brother Abraham, four younger brothers Zebulon,Benjamin and Ezra and one sister Rebecca.Abe lives in Arkansas, Rebecca lives in New York ,and the rest live here in Las Vegas. We all grew up on farms first in Hesperia, Michigan and secondly between Fremont and Holton,Michigan. We were all delivered at home by my father except for Abe who was born in a Catholic Hospital in Shawville,Quebec. I moved around a few times in Michigan. To begin with in Fruitport then to Norton Shores to Twin Lake to Muskegon back to Fruitport and finally back to Muskegon. There I was living with my dear and close friend Aprill before I moved out here to Las Vegas. Indeed I finally decided to join my family here in Las Vegas whom had moved out here sixteen years prior. I really like the brights lights of the big city ,I really enjoy my job as a photographer and I have the opportunity to meet folks from all over the world. My previous career of twelve years in Horticulture was very rewarding but I was ready for a BIG change. Also the chance to make more money which I have found here.
