Editing Samantha Chandler (section)

== Early Life ==

Sam was born in Virgina on Earth. However, she was not raised there all of her life. Because of her parents' careers, her early life was spent on starships, starbases, and research stations where her parents were stationed. But when she got older, before her two younger brothers were born, her parents moved back to Earth, choosing to give their children a more stable enviroment with which to grow.

When Sam was fourteen, she and her brothers were mountain climbing in the mountains near her home. While climbing, there was a rock slide which caused Sam to fall down a very rocky slope. She survived but had injuries which left a few scars on her body. The accident didn't put a damper on her love of mountain climbing. She still loves to do it any time she can to this day.

Sam has always been into sports, namely running and rock climbing. Through high school, she was on the school's track team. Long distance running is what she loves to do since it requires more endurance. While growing up, Sam could easily outlast other kids her age. Sometimes, that also included her brothers.

As a young kid, Sam was taught how to play the piano. She was quite talented at it. But as she got older, she found that she had less and less time to devote to it. So she rarely plays anymore.
