    I was born a triplet to Bruce and Dorine Bozant on June 8, 1988. My two sisters, Heather and Dominique, and I have always been very close.
    We grew up in Chalmette and attended Our Lady of Prompt Succor Parish and School. Heather and I attended OLPS from pre-kindergarten through seventh grade, and Dominique, who was diagnosed with a learning disability, attended the local public schools because of their special education programs.

    The first happened in my freshman year of high school when I was put on a bus by my parents, Roy and Yvette, which was headed for Steubenville, Ohio, where Franciscan University puts on a charismatic youth conference every year. My grandparents, Paul and June Perret, were highly involved in the charismatic renewal in New Orleans and decided that they wanted to pay for all of their grandchildren to attend this conference at Franciscan.
