Eight year old Corinna was visiting her grandparents in Germany.
Travelling to the country every summer, she figured it would be just another trip.
Only this time, something strange occurred that eventually forced her to visit a local
hospital.
Missing her mom back in America, a rather uneasy feeling began kicking in.
What started off with crying herself to sleep turned into shortness of breathe.
As it turns out, this was something much more serious then just a simple case of home sickness...

Alright, now let's get into Corinna Kopf.
Corinna Kopf was born on December 1st, 1995.
According to most sources we have looked at, the YouTuber was born in Palantine, a city
in Cook County, Illinois located not far outside of Chicago.
Through some research, it appears as if she may have grown up in nearby Rolling Meadows,
a small town of about twenty-five thousand.
Corinna is of German decent.
When she was little she, would visit Germany every summer.
Raised by a single mother, Corinna would get this chance to spend quality time with her
grandparents while there.
The couple seemed to have been very supportive of her.
A few years back, she posted a photo on her Twitter of a card sent by her them congratulating
her on an awesome report card signed Oma and Opa.
Inside the envelope...
A crisp hundred dollar bill.
Making those fat stacks!
Seriously, there's another picture of her with a fat stack of cash in her hand.
As a young kid, Corinna stated that she wanted to be a veterinarian.
While Corinna certainly appears to be in high spirits on her YouTube videos, she's certainly
had her share of heartache.
On January 10th, 2007, her older brother Chris committed suicide.
As you could imagine, this type of tragedy could change anyone's life.
It certainly did that for Corinna.
To commemorate her brother close to the seven year anniversary of his passing, she put out
this tweet stating:
“Missing you more than ever today Chris, can't believe it's been almost seven years
since I lost my big brother & best friend.”
We've all seen her exposing many different aspects of her personal life, but believe
us, she still stays extremely private.
It took us quite a while to find information on her.
During an interview, a recently-famous Corinna was asked if she likes to be alone, she stated:
“I think if I get back to the point of remembering what it was like to be alone, I will.
I don't really like it right now.
I just don't remember what it's like to be alone.
But I know that I like being alone.
I just can't remember it at this point.”
Corinna has opened up publicly about her struggles with anxiety.
In a recent vlog interview, she told a story where her anxieties got so bad, she spent
a week convinced she had cancer.
Corinna says her anxiety began around the age of seven or eight.
She was on vacation in Germany when she began missing her mother.
Corinna soon began feeling shortness of breathe and had to go to the hospital.
The anxiety worsened for her after the death of her brother.
Both of her parents would later help their daughter with her anxiety as they too suffered
from the condition.
This would prove to be helpful in the coming years as Corinna moved on into high school.
She's gone on to say that as a result of her anxiety, she has only smoked weed a couple
of times.
She says the first time she did it, she went home to her mom and barfed all over her.
Corinna states that she lost her virginity when she was in her sophomore year of high
school.
In an episode of Losing Your V Card with Josh Peck, Corinna admitted that in high school,
she was a pretty “slutty” . These are in her words.
Not in ours.
The reason for this was that when she first got to high school, she believed that in order
to become popular, you needed to hook up with as many people as possible.
Corinna attended William Fremd High School in Palantine where she looks to be a part
of the Fremd Vikings Dance Squad.
In a 2011 issue of the Fremd High School newspaper, a quote of hers can be seen on the front page
making a tribute to a student who passed away.
By the looks of this photo, Corinna was on the flag football team at one time.
She also had a job at a Hooters restaurant in nearby Schaumberg.
By the looks of it, she worked with fellow future-YouTuber Polina Beregova for a little
less than a week.
The two may have also known each other outside of work.
The first concert Corinna ever went to was Lil' Wayne.
Visiting her childhood home with Toddy Smith, you can see the rapper's posters all over
her bedroom.
Corinna graduated and eventually moved out to California where she worked as a nanny
in Malibu while attending college.
We're not sure exactly what school she went to but judging by the letters SC painted on
her face in this clip, my money's on the University of Southern California.
Dropping out of college, Corinna decided that a life in social media was for her.
She had been posting on Instagram since 2012 and had gathered a rather large following
on that platform.
Collaborating with the likes of fellow Chicago native David Dobrik, she found popularity
on YouTube.
Beginning her own channel in 2017, some of her videos included vlogs in which she shared
stories as well as weird challenges.
As for the rest of the story, well we'll have to wait and see because this is Before They
Were Famous.
