He is a Wire Haired Dachshund who we decided to name Chase due to the way he would... chase... us around. He's still alive today and is currently 19 years old. We rescued him from a shelter. ]]> 2021-09-07 02:05:19 UTC https://padlet.com/johnrice2003/l55hvswyklia06fe/wish/1720468866 johnrice2003 https://padlet.com/johnrice2003/l55hvswyklia06fe/wish/1720474162 During the entirety of 2009, my parents purchased multiple new vehicles. My father purchased a 2009 Hemi Orange Dodge Challenger R/T, a 1978 Englishman Silver Pontiac Firebird, a 2008 Harley Road-king, and a 2008 Suzuki Ninja. These vehicles started an obsession with vehicles inside of my life.

That picture is the exact Firebird we owned^]]> 2021-09-07 02:07:26 UTC https://padlet.com/johnrice2003/l55hvswyklia06fe/wish/1720474162 johnrice2003 https://padlet.com/johnrice2003/l55hvswyklia06fe/wish/1720476571 During the summer of 2010, my family packed up our belongings and moved from Lumberton Texas all the way to Muskogee Oklahoma. We left behind our entire family and all of our friends. This was very difficult for me as a seven year old because these were the people and the places I had known for my entire life.]]> 2021-09-07 02:08:25 UTC https://padlet.com/johnrice2003/l55hvswyklia06fe/wish/1720476571 johnrice2003 https://padlet.com/johnrice2003/l55hvswyklia06fe/wish/1720478259 Following the move up to Oklahoma, I got involved with Baseball and made many friends, of which I am still in touch with today, over ten years and a few moves later.]]> 2021-09-07 02:09:05 UTC https://padlet.com/johnrice2003/l55hvswyklia06fe/wish/1720478259 johnrice2003 https://padlet.com/johnrice2003/l55hvswyklia06fe/wish/1720480429 During June of 2013, we decided to pack our bags up once again and move back down to Texas, this time to a little town called Tomball where we have resided since.]]> 2021-09-07 02:09:55 UTC https://padlet.com/johnrice2003/l55hvswyklia06fe/wish/1720480429 johnrice2003 https://padlet.com/johnrice2003/l55hvswyklia06fe/wish/1720484751 During 2016, we joined a church that had allowed me to create many new friendships, of which are still important today.]]> 2021-09-07 02:11:33 UTC https://padlet.com/johnrice2003/l55hvswyklia06fe/wish/1720484751 johnrice2003 https://padlet.com/johnrice2003/l55hvswyklia06fe/wish/1720487218 I started high school back in 2017, during the hectic times of Hurricane Harvey. I was able to start school with all of those friends that I had made at the Church!]]> 2021-09-07 02:12:34 UTC https://padlet.com/johnrice2003/l55hvswyklia06fe/wish/1720487218 johnrice2003 https://padlet.com/johnrice2003/l55hvswyklia06fe/wish/1720489987 Following the Move back to Texas, we started looking for a church to join. We happened to visit a church named memorial baptist near my neighborhood where, at the time, a young girl happened to attend. Her name is Claire, and I had no idea she even existed until many years later.]]> 2021-09-07 02:13:42 UTC https://padlet.com/johnrice2003/l55hvswyklia06fe/wish/1720489987 johnrice2003 https://padlet.com/johnrice2003/l55hvswyklia06fe/wish/1720493627 Junior year was a very impactful, eventful, and important year within my life. During this year, we ended up moving back to Memorial Baptist where I finally met Claire, who happened to be my first real love. I was also enrolled in all DC classes in attempt to clear college as fast and efficiently as possible.]]> 2021-09-07 02:15:08 UTC https://padlet.com/johnrice2003/l55hvswyklia06fe/wish/1720493627 johnrice2003 https://padlet.com/johnrice2003/l55hvswyklia06fe/wish/1720495665 March 13th 2021, I asked Claire to go to Prom with me and that same day I asked her to be my girlfriend. This has been one of the best decisions I ever made as for she is a very important person in my life who has helped make me who I am over the last two years. Not trying to get religious here, but they say that the lord has a reason for everything, and I truly believe that his reasoning for bringing my family back to this church was so that I would be able to meet this wonderful young lady.]]> 2021-09-07 02:15:57 UTC https://padlet.com/johnrice2003/l55hvswyklia06fe/wish/1720495665 johnrice2003 https://padlet.com/johnrice2003/l55hvswyklia06fe/wish/1720497822 Today, I sit here in my bedroom, typing this Timeline on my computer. All of these events are important events that, some of which, I had no idea would even be important. They have all changed my life to this day.]]> 2021-09-07 02:16:45 UTC https://padlet.com/johnrice2003/l55hvswyklia06fe/wish/1720497822 johnrice2003 https://padlet.com/johnrice2003/l55hvswyklia06fe/wish/1720517598 1.) Some common threads I found within my timeline revolve around church and how it has impacted my life and my friends. Without it, I really wouldn't know a lot of the important people I have in my life today. This is a reoccurring activity in itself and honestly, I don't think any part of my personality is reappearing.
2.) Some personal strengths that this process revealed to me include things such as my ability to choose friends and who I keep near me. One of the most surprising accomplishments for me was truly my girlfriend, I don't want to talk about it too much, but she's practically a trophy for me; I love to talk about her. 
3.) All of these events are worthy of my future; without these, I wouldn't be the person I am today. Most of these events involve me creating friends, of which who have shaped me today. I don't want anything to change and I am able to pull optimism from all of these moments, the lord does everything for a reason. ]]> 2021-09-07 02:23:45 UTC https://padlet.com/johnrice2003/l55hvswyklia06fe/wish/1720517598
