The very first impact on my life was around the time football was shown to me. I was about 8 years old and playing football opened my eyes to a whole new world. It helped show me that I can express my energy while making new and very important friends along the way.

# data[].attributes.body
This took place about 2 years after I first started to play sports. My biggest supporters in the world were my granny and grandpa and my whole world revolved around them. After I lost them, I seemed empty and I didn't really feel like keeping up with sports so I decided to take a break from the action and pursue a different path.

# data[].attributes.body
The path that I decided to pursue was a very unique path in music. I never knew that there was a whole world of new emotions and feelings until my mom introduced me to music. My Grandpa used to love music no matter the genre, so naturally I tried listening to his kind of music so I could have something else to remember him by. Even to this day, music is one of the main things I absolutely can not live without.

# data[].attributes.body
Music was something that my grandpa passed down to me so it made me wonder what my grandma could've passed down to me. It was then that my mom told me that she loved to play videogames, especially the Atari. I never knew that about my grandma but I just decided to give them a try anyways. I can proudly say that I have now played all different kinds of videogames for about 11 years now and I am so glad that they were introduced to me because they have completely changed my life.

When I was about 8 my mother and father got divorced and it was devastating to me. We didn't talk as much and I rarely seen him anymore. Eventually he came back a few months later and I wasn't mad or sad, I just remember running to his arms and hugging him for about 10 minutes. After that day, we spent a lot more time together and got closer to him as everyday passed along. He is one of my heroes and I could never imagine life without him.

I once had a friend named Hunter and he was the greatest thing that ever happened to me. We had been friends since birth and stayed inseparable for about 12 years. He taught me how to be strong and be the outgoing person that I grew to be today. When we were 12 his parents had to move for job openings and after all that time together we finally got separated. Since that day I haven't seen or talked to him but I do hope that he is thriving wherever he is.

# data[].attributes.body
I didn't feel like getting attached to anyone since Hunter left so I usually refrained from talking to people. It was nearing the end of my 8th grade year and I decided to move in with my dad so I can spend time with him and go to high school in the town he grew up in. The first week I was there I met guy my age named Randy. We instantly hit it off and from then all the way to now we are still bestfriends, well more like brothers at this point.

# data[].attributes.body
It has been 4-5 years since I last played football at this point and I still just wasn't interested in playing anymore. It was the summer before my freshman year and we were celebrating my birthday. I then got a package that said it was from my Grandpa and I was shocked. Inside was a signed football by his old high school team and a letter explaining how football changed his life. I feel like it was destiny that he wrote that letter so long ago because that gift once again ignited my passion for football.

I was going into my freshman year and I was as ready as ever to get back on the field and play the sport I used to love so much. I played all 4 years of football, meeting new teammates and new friends. Now football is one of the biggest parts of my life and I truly learned what it was like to be a respectable man. I hope that one day, my children can also find a sport that will change the course of their lives forever.

After 4 whole years of meeting new friends and enjoying my life in high school, it was finally time for me to graduate. I have seen all of the wonders of being a kid and it was then time for me to grow up and see the world as an adult. I sat through the ceremony, holding back tears, and then we all threw our caps in the air and celebrated. I took pictures with everyone I knew and then that night I knew it was time to truly start my life.

# data[].attributes.body
One week or so after I graduated, I had a dream about my future in life. I remember I was sitting outside, holding my baby and talking to all my friends while the wives were in the living room drinking wine and talking. I remember I told my child that I loved her and the love I felt after saying that made my heart tingle and I woke up from that dream because of it. I hope to finish college and get my good paying job so that I can one day live this scene and feel the love I felt then while I am awake.

I decided that I better get some money so that I can pay for college and start my life. I put in applications to a bunch of different places and the first one to call back was H-E-B. I went in for an interview and instantly fell in love with the atmosphere and people that were working there. I ended up getting hired and on my first day I had already made some new friends. Over time some of them ended up pursuing their dreams and they left H-E-B, but we all still talk and they are friends that I know I can count on if I need them. I am now a Manager for the Curbside department and I absolutely love my job.

# data[].attributes.body
It was through H-E-B that I met the one person that made me feel like I truly belong in their story. I was tasked to train her on some of the job duties and I fell in love at first sight. We are now dating and she is my #1 supporter through the college journey. I want to get college done and get a job so that I can one day ask her to marry me and start a truly wonderful life together.

# data[].attributes.body
All of the events in my life led to me getting here at Lone Star. I am determined and willing to do whatever it takes to ace college and start the life that I have dreamt about so long ago. I am truly grateful that I was given the opportunity to be here and I can not wait to continue my life. One day I know that Lonestar will be one of the biggest parts in my future timeline.
