My Moto

This is the quote I play in my head every time I am scared to fail. In order to learn, you need to fail. This quote hung on my wall and I would read it every time I would wake up. Babe Ruth was the motivation that led me to work everyday on my craft in baseball and in school.

Family

My family is the closest thing that I hold to my heart. Without them, I wouldn't be here today. They were the ones that taught me determination and dedication to the things I love. They were also the ones that taught me that failure comes with success.

High School

My three years at Cary Academy were probably the best three years of my life. I went from having 2-3 friends, to having over 15 friends that I could always hangout with. My teachers were also super formative and they were the ones that formed my personality.

Pet

This is my dog named Cutter, he has always helped me get through tough in life. He is like a friend that will never judge, you can tell him anything and he will always listen. He moves his head when you talk to him so it is like he is listening to every word. I love him so much!

Cars: The Movie

This is my favorite movie of all time because when I was around 4-5 years old, I would watch it almost every day. Another reason for why this is my favorite movie is because Lightning McQueen needs to overcome and persevere through his new life in Radiator Springs. This was basically my life ever since I moved to NC in 4th grade.

This is the song of my life because it is so uplifting and motivating. My parents would never let me give up when I was younger so I have taken that to heart and now I play this song when I am having doubts. The lyrics are also about how the people around you life you up and make you feel good about yourself.

Crime Junkie

rjack14 — 2025-08-21 14:05:23 UTC

My favorite thing to learn about is definitely crime. I will probably become either a history teacher or have a job centered around criminal justice. I have always had a soft spot for criminal justice and history.

Friends

My closest friends are what get me through school each year, whether that is because they are helping me with work or being there for me when I need it. I feel that if I talk to people as the school day goes on, I enjoy it way more then if I was by myself. Having friends is probably the best thing to have when you are going through tough times.

Video Games

rjack14 — 2025-08-21 14:11:39 UTC

I love playing video games, my favorite genre of video game is probably sports games. I love to play against friends and family because I feel like it brings u together. My favorite game of all time is Madden 20 because this game came out in March during covid so I was still able to connect with friends even if we were miles apart.

Baseball

rjack14 — 2025-08-26 12:13:00 UTC

I have played baseball my entire life, ever since my dad put a bat in my hand at three I have always played. I have gone through elementary school, middle school, and high school playing baseball. Baseball is my life, I have learned so many life skills from teammates and coaches. My parents and coaches have taught me everything I know.

San Francisco, California

rjack14 — 2025-08-26 12:29:18 UTC

I was born and lived in San Francisco for 10 years. These 10 years were probably the most formative 10 years of my life. I learned how to ride the cable car and even learned how fisherman fished. There were also many trips to the bay to see the hundreds of sea lions sleeping away their fatigue. Growing up in a big city also taught me how to have life skills at such a young age.
