I was born in North Carolina but grew up in Missouri. We first lived in Sparta and lived there until 4th grade. I remember my sister and I used to share a room for a little bit and we had our own room that my parents called the playroom which had our toys and stuff in it. Then eventually we had our own rooms when we got older. Then from 5th to the middle of seventh grade, we lived in Strafford. We moved to Strafford to be close to family so we lived in my aunt's basement for a little because they were going to let us build a house on extra land they had. Everything was going fine until my mom started hanging around bad people and started doing drugs so we lost the house and moved into a duplex. which was new because it was small to us but we made do. After a year or so of rehab, my mom came back and everything felt normal. So then my mom and dad decided it was best to move again for a new start so we moved to Ozark. Everything was great and good again so I was just living life but little did I know my parents would get a divorce a couple of years later so that was little stressful and now were here.

In early 2019 my mom sister and I went to Arkansas to see family and family from California was down there too so we had planned for my sister and I to go see them in June or July but covid happened so we had to wait until August but we still went. So August came and were a little nervous about seeing them and the plane ride. Because we hadn't seen them in like 6 years and we haven't been on a plane in 6 years either. But as soon as we got there it was fine we were a little nervous at first but then it was ok and we got comfortable right away. We had so much fun made a lot of memories and even learned how to paddle board.

I was born on November 11, 2003 in North Carolina in an army hospital. The first three months of my life were good until one day I got a stroke my parents were so confused so they took me to the hospital were they figured out I also had heart problems. So the next three years of my life was mainly spent in a hospital. In that three years I had the open heart surgeries I can very faintly remember some of it. There was this one time I was like half awake and remember my dad saying something to me and I think he was saying it's going to be ok. Another time my grandparents came down for California to see me in the hospital and I had to stay still while I slept and if I did my grandma would buy in this stuffed animal of a wolf who sang little red riding hood. So I did my best and I got the wolf I was so happy. And the last thing I remember was my going home from my last surgery. I was so excited go home it was cool to because also when I was there I got a Curious George backpack That came with a stuffed animal of curious George as well. I was so happy to go home even though I didn't know why I was ever in the hospital.

School bells have always been in my memories from kindergarten through 4 grade it was always just waiting for that last bell so we could go home. Then 5-7 it was the bell to go to lunch now it's just trying to make it through the next class and making it through the day. It doesn't make it any better when teachers always say the bell doesn't dismiss you I do. so people say it make it feel like prison but I'm just glad i don't have hear them next yeat

If I could live my life over again I would do so much more with it. My early years in life were good one thing i wish i had done is continue playing baseball because I really loved baseball. I wish i had gotten into more sports like basketball. I would've have started saving money at younger age tried to do better in school then I did. I would've like to be more out going and maybe more of a bigger person and at times a better brother. I wish wouldn't have been babied so much so I would be as weak as I am today.

It's honestly crazy to think I've made it this far with all the stuff going on in my life even if I didn't it was happening. It seems like yesterday I was in first grade at the time I wanting to grow up and wish time would go by first and now it's hard to believe it's been almost ten years. I've been to three schools in my life I didn't like moving at all but I'm getting to graduate at Ozark. I'm glad I get graduate here because it was also were my dad graduated from. Speaking of my dad he is the main reason I am where I am and who I am today. He has always been there for my sister and I all our lives and always made sure we happy and made sure we were always fed and that's why I love my dad so much because if it wasn't for him I probably won't be here today.

Always from an early age, I had always liked baseball I still do I just don't play for a team. Then I was introduced to video games and they changed my life forever I Immediately fell in love with video games I loved them because they gave me something to do and helped with my ADHD as well. Then at about the age of 14, I started doing flips on the trampoline and I loved it even though it was I that good I still loved it was the same with basketball but I play basketball a lot more and started doing fewer flips. Then age 17-18 I have found a love for cars and I would love to learn more about them in the future because I think cars are really amazing, especially the thing you can do to them.

I don't really have a lot of favorite movies but a few of them are Forrest Gump and the Mid 90's I have many more but there is too much to count. Some of my favorite video games are most of the lego games like lego batman, lego star wars, Lego Indiana Jones, and lego pirates of the Caribbean. Some of my favorite music artists are Logic, J.Cole, and Mac Miller. One of my other favorites is classic rock bands. Some of them are Guns n Roses, Led Zepplin, Metallica, ACDC, Pink Floyd and Queen.

Once when I was like three months old I shit all over my mom at my aunt's wedding and she handed me to my dad when she went to clean up and all he was doing was gagging the whole time holding away from him as far as he could so he wouldn't throw up.

Ten years from now I hope to see myself with a family and a job I love living in a big city like L.A. or Florida or somewhere else big because I would to get out of Missouri. I hope my job will be a manager or even higher at Walmart or my dream CSI and worse case just something in the police force. I think I'll have a decent size house with a loving caring wife one or two kids it depends and a dog or two. With a car for me and my wife/family car. Maybe a pool in the backyard. and I'll hopefully be in touch with my best friends from highschool and I think I'll be a cool dad like my dad is.
