2021 (First Girlfriend)

It was January of 2021 when I got in my first relationship back in sixth grade. To this day it was the longest relationship and one of the best ones I've ever had. I lasted about a year and me and my ex are still very good friends. The relationship taught me nearly everything that I had to know about a relationship, like terms and expressions of all of that stuff. I learned most of the street smarts I have today from it and it taught me how to appropriately express affection for another person in a healthy way and learn how to properly argue and talk.

2020 (Saxophone)

I got my Saxophone (Samson) back in the beginning of 2020. I learned saxophone for band class thinking it would be cool. The path it has brought me down I'm very proud of. I've joined the marching band which was something I was really against in the past. After getting it I've just been open to many more opportunities and met some of the best friends that I have to this day.

2014 (First Lego Set)

Lego's have gone on to be some of my favorite toys and hobbies to this day. The ability for them to get more and more complex and easier depending on the age makes them so accessible. I still remember the first set I ever received. It really opened up my scope of imagination, problem solving skills and just gave me something that I can always go back to, to enjoy.

2024 (First Job)

I got my first job, and to this point my only job in the summer of 2024. It was my childhood summer camp for 8 years. The camp has very strict policies and guidelines to stay working there. I have changed to be a better person thanks to the standards that the camp has and I couldn't be more honored to work there. In addition to the job skills I learned, I learned to truly never judge a book by its cover, both years I have been doing it, I have met and became friends with people that never in a million years I would've thought we would've been friends with. I've learned the best social skills in my life from this camp.

2013 (Sister Born)

My sister is my only sister. She made me the beautiful jumpsuit that I wear on the occasion. She has had a huge effect on my life, forcing me to become more of a mature and caring person. She has put me through a lot and has taught me how to be a truly caring person. I've learned probably the m most from her.

2019 (Fourth Grade)

jseaver28 — 2025-09-12 15:39:59 UTC

Fourth grade was one of the best school years for me. Me and my friends got really close and I met my two best friends to this day in it. I learned how to properly write with grammar. Most of the knowledge I have about writing comes from this year and overall it taught me all the social and intellectual skills that I still hold close to this day.

2028 (College)

jseaver28 — 2025-09-12 15:40:31 UTC

In college I'll learn to use time management strategies to balance things like increased workload, social life and a healthy physical life. I have to know the proper time to study, and workout. I'll have to know what items to buy and when to buy them with the amount of money I have earned from my jobs.

2034 (First Full-Time Job)

jseaver28 — 2025-09-12 15:41:38 UTC

With my college career out of the way, I can dedicate my time to working. My first full career will likely be something like an entry level psychologist job or an amateur film writer. I don't know the field I exactly want to go into but I'd be happy doing whatever. From my job I learn how to communicate with other people and create meaningful connections for a long time. I'll get a constant income and have to know how to manage my money over a period of time.

First House (2034)

jseaver28 — 2025-09-12 15:41:44 UTC

With my first house and potentially my beginning of having a family, I'll have a pet fish or lizard. I'll have a car, everything will be covered with insurance. If I have a family I have to be able to manage not only money for the house, but now the hefty costs of having kids and other entertainment tools to keep everyone happy and entertained. I have to worry a lot about the amount of money going in and coming out. From all of this I learn how to balance responsibilities and properly communicate to keep the family healthy physically, mentally and emotionally.

2012 (Runs with Dad)

jseaver28 — 2025-09-12 15:48:14 UTC

Most nights when I was young my dad would bring me to sanborn high school to do a run and stay in shape. He ran with me in a stroller and would often give me his Ipod to change the music we listened to. I still remember the talks we would have those nights. The lessons I learned as he would talk to me, and the awesome 70s-00s songs that I got to learn and hear.

2011-12 (Costume Bucket)

jseaver28 — 2025-09-12 15:57:47 UTC

As a child I had a huge bucket in my playroom that was purely costumes. It had old Halloween costumes, birthday costumes, etc. It had accessories like necklaces, crowns and light-sabers. I spent most of my summers as a kid running around outside in my mismatched costumes, and making up cool fantasy characters based on how I dressed. This fueled my creativity, I spent so much time with this bucket that I grew my imagination and creativity to the point it was at today. I'd say my love for art and writing came from all these toys and buckets.
