Well, let's hope I live this long... or longer.... or forever. I'm okay with that too. Does death hurt?

# data[].attributes.body
Found someone who will love me for who I am (hopefully). She is better than me in every way: intelligent, beautiful, strong, funny, hard working, she's got it all!

# data[].attributes.body
Got a job. What now?

# data[].attributes.body
Eagan High School, Class of 2017 Graduate!

# data[].attributes.body
Hmm... where should I do my residency?

# data[].attributes.body
Med School, here I come!

# data[].attributes.body
Welcome! To the University of North Dakota! I'm a Fighting Hawk now! Wow that sounds lame... a lot more than I thought it would be.

# data[].attributes.body
Heck yeah! December 6th, 2016! I'm finally 18! Wow, I'm old... But, you know what that means... I finally get to do something without needing consent! I get to vote! But... my birthday was after this year's presidential election, unlucky.

# data[].attributes.body
Whoo! I'm driving now! And Senior year! Hopefully no car accidents, fingers crossed! I'm the Red Honda Acura btw, watch out for me on the road.

I get a job with St. Paul Urban tennis, my first summer job! (Sad, I know, but hey, better late than never..... kinda.) (P.S. I'm not in this picture, lol, I couldn't find one with me in it.)

# data[].attributes.body
I help volunteer for a tennis program called St. Paul Urban Tennis (SPUT). At first I was nervous, I've never worked with people much before, especially kids. They were ages 4-14. But, in the end, it turned out great! I had an amazing time, and it was a life changing moment!

# data[].attributes.body
I moved to a strange place called, "Eagan." I found this place weird, but my parents told me that I was actually born in St. Paul so I am actually "home."

# data[].attributes.body
I tried out to play for my high school Varsity Tennis team and I made it! Our team was really good, so even though we were only Division 2 (because we were a small school), during the season we played against Division 1 teams. We went to state that year and swept the finals 7-0!

# data[].attributes.body
I entered the high school division of USM. That was "no bueno." Let's just say Freshman year was a time of dark moments, specifically pertaining to grades. The tuition bumped up to $28,000 a year. But, I was able to get a scholarship again, not a full one this time though--only $25,000, so we still had to come up with $3,000.

# data[].attributes.body
Wow! That's pretty good! I finally got 1st place ($5,000)! But, that's not the most impressive part. The most impressive part was not only destroying the all time record for highest points in the history of the competition (9,100), but that I beat the second place person, who happened to be my brother, lol. Feels good.

# data[].attributes.body
Hey, well would you look at that. I got 2nd place in the NSAC this time, earning me $2,500. Good job me! Took me two straight years of blood, sweat, and tears to beat 1 person!

# data[].attributes.body
I was still in the NSAC, and I got third again, awarding another $1,000 toward the college of my choice. I couldn't beat those dang southern kids who played tennis everyday.

# data[].attributes.body
I transferred schools. I tested into a private school, the University School of Milwaukee (USM). It was one of the top schools in the state and ranked high nationally as well. The tuition for one year was $24,000 (yeah... ikr...) but luckily I was able to get a full scholarship.

# data[].attributes.body
Won a tennis scholarship for college for performance in school and on the tennis courts. The competition was called the National Student Athletic Competition (NSAC). I got third place, which was worth $1,000.

# data[].attributes.body
My parents signed me up for a summer camp for nerds. It was at Beloit College in Wisconsin. It was pretty fun, my second time staying away from home.

# data[].attributes.body
I picked up my first tennis racquet and it changed my life. But not immediately, because I (low-key) lost every tournament I was in for 2 years straight (and I cried like every weekend after losing--at home of course.)

# data[].attributes.body
I went on a field trip to Chicago. But, this one was different because our chaperone was my dad. My group liked to go out at night to Dairy Queen to get some ice cream. On our way back, we would always Jaywalk.

# data[].attributes.body
In 4th grade, I was accepted into a special class that taught Danish as another required course. Why? Because at the end of the year, we got to take a 2 week field trip to Denmark and stayed with host families. This was awesome. But... I did do some stupid stuff. Like go down a giant hill with a scooter and jumping off at the bottom. I ended up getting the wind knocked out of me, and a Danish couple just so happened to be passing by and helped me out. In that moment, I thought, "Are you guys Angels?"

# data[].attributes.body
Transferred to a new school, (from 2nd to 3rd grade.) First time I called my teacher, "mom." Needless to say, it was an awkward moment. Luckily, I knew the teacher very well. She was my second grade teacher from my previous school. How cool is that? She changed schools with me. Apparently, she was the one that recommended me to the new school I was attending.

# data[].attributes.body
My parents got me a bike, and I took off on it. They were surprised that I knew how to ride a bike without being taught, but little did they know I had my cousins teach me behind my parents' backs. As cool as it was to have my cousins teach me how to ride a bike, they weren't the best. They pretty much just told me to hop on and go.

# data[].attributes.body
I was left alone in the car. I'm guessing you might know what happened next. That's right, I drove across the parking lot by myself. My dad and uncle left me in the car for some reason, and from the house, my mom saw her van moving.

# data[].attributes.body
I got knocked over by my dog, Jacko. I hit the ground hard. Blood everywhere. I was rushed to the hospital and got my first stitches.

# data[].attributes.body
My dad enrolls me in Taekwondo classes. The teacher was a meanie. I quit after a year. Was one test away from a Black Belt.

# data[].attributes.body
Started preschool. Apparently, I used to be really smart. My teacher told my mom during a teacher conference that I was able to grasp concepts really quickly, so whenever she taught me something I finished much faster than the rest of the class, so she taught me separately.

# data[].attributes.body
Whenever I go shopping with my mom, I never asked for anything. If I liked something, I would look at it, touch it a bit, and then put it away when it was time to leave that part of the store.

# data[].attributes.body
I realized that I did not like getting hurt. One time, I stubbed my toe, I asked my mom to put a pillow underneath my foot and I would do nothing but sit for the rest of the day.

# data[].attributes.body
I started "walking." I was holding on to things, using them as a support.

# data[].attributes.body
My first words.
"Dada."

Apparently, my mom didn't teach me this... I wonder who could it have been...

# data[].attributes.body
I was born.
