In 2004,I started pre-school. This was the first time I was really left on my own for a long period of time.This experience made me realize I'll have to fend for myself one day and grow up.

In 2006,I firmly established my hobbies of playing sports and video games. Both of these hobbies are still relevant in my life and I don't think I will ever stop doing either.

In 2009 my best friend diamond died,  she was my dog that protected me since I was a baby and ever since she died I have something missing in my life. Although I still really miss and love her I want to get another dog where I can build another man's best friend relationship with.

In 6th grade I got cut from the basketball team, this really effected me because was my passion and the only thing I wanted to do at the time. Although this hurt at the time it humbled me and made me realize I have to work really hard for the thing I love.

In 2011,after getting cut from the team and my mom having another seizure I gave up on my grades. I couldn't focus and was at a low point in my life. I stopped doing my homework and stopped studying for my test.

In 2012 this was the first time I flew in a plane. My family and I went to Florida to visit my uncle. Even though I was a bit older, I finally got to go to Disney world and see that huge castle. That will forever go down as my all time favorite vacation because I got to experience Disney world for the first time

In the summer of 2012, I played baseball for the first time on an organized team. This was the first time I played a different sport than basketball on an organized team.I loved baseball and that 1 summer of playing the sport will forever have me interested in the game.It was such a different experience playing it rather than watching it. It made me see how talented those pros are and I stopped hating on/making fun of baseball.

In 2014 I was an incoming freshman at Wheaton North. I decided to do what most freshman boys do and play some football. It was all going good until I realized how much time football took. I didn't get home until around 5 or 6 pm everyday, which didn't give me much time for homework, eating and sleeping plus do my hobbies and just relax. I wanted to quit but i wanted to prove to myself that I can finish the season and not be labeled as a quitter. I successfully did that and am still proud of myself today. I also met alot of good friends through football which if I had quit I wouldn't be friends with them today.

In 2015 I found another hobby that I didn't know I would enjoy. I take a class in Wheaton North called broadcast media , where we shoot and edit our own movies. I love this class because i can use my creative mind and make my visions come to life. Although I don't make the best looking movies, I still really enjoy this class and will probably keep doing this on my own when I graduate.
