Though Lael had always been keenly aware of her father's absence from her life, it hit hardest around the tender age of 9 when all of her friends were attending Father-Daughter dances and she was the only one who didn't have a father to go with. One particular year at age 11, she tried to talk her mother into contacting her father to see if he'd be willing to go with her.

By age 12, Lael's confidence blossomed and she joined her school's Student Leadership Club (SLC). Her passion for active pursuits led her to join her school's cross country team in 6th grade. Her best friend was a boy named Nicholas Swett, who she remained close with throughout elementary and middle school. He was her first kiss at the tender age of seven. She’d dropped her sandwich at lunch wrestling with a boy named Blake Thomas for pulling her hair. She’d cried at first until Nicholas presented her with half of his and she'd pecked him on the lips to thank him.
