Herandy (older brother) is Born
My brother was born in Reston, Virginia. As of right now, he is currently 22.
(From left to right: My nephew Alexis, Daniel, Itzel, and Herandy)
(Also: Alexis is my nephew from my half sister, but he's older than me; he's like around the same age that Herandy is at, maybe a year younger.) -
Itzel (sister) is born
My sister was born in Reston, Virginia. She turned 20 a few months ago in September. -
Daniel (youngest older brother) is born
My brother was born in Reston, Virginia. He actually graduated earlier this year in May and recently turned 18 in July -
I'm Born
I'm born in Reston, Virginia like all my other siblings. I'm the youngest in my family. I'm the ninth child to my dad (he had been with someone before he met my mom), and the fourth child to my mom -
Walking
My mom told me at around nine months I started learning to walk a bit, although I'm pretty sure that I would still be pretty clumsy. My mom said we all started walking around the same age except that my sister still preferred scooting herself across the floor. She didn't walk until a year and three months.
(unfortunately, my family didn't really take that many pictures once they got to me. Plus they're all buried off somewhere) -
Moved from Virginia to Georgia
I don't remember the exact date, nor really the year since I was really young when we moved. We didn't first settle in Suwanee, Georgia, though. At first we moved to Cumming, Georgia, then to other parts of Georgia before settling down here. -
Kindergarten Starts
I started Kindergarten (never went to Pre-K) and, unlike my brother Herandy, I actually knew English when I entered Kindergarten. All my siblings did, actually. All but Herandy. -
Pet Cat
We got a pet cat from someone who was giving them away. They original owners named the cat Harley, but we ended up just calling him Kitty instead. -
Soccer
My family put me into rec soccer when I was seven. I was doing soccer every year since, except for recently because I decided to do marching band in the fall instead of soccer, like I usually did. I haven't played in a team since December of last year. -
Another Pet Cat
On July 4th, after visiting the lake for Independence Day, My family stopped at a gas station. My mom asked my brother if he could get something from the gas station, and he came back saying there was a lady giving away kittens because her cat gave birth and the new apartment she moved into didn't really allow too many pets, so she was giving them away all day. All of the girl kittens had already been given away, but one, which was the only boy kitten. We named him Oscar. -
Graduated Jackson Elementary
I remember on the last few days of school my teachers were getting rid of some stuff like water color sets and some decorative paper. Since they were going to throw it away, my teacher allowed us to take some of the stuff.
(also I'm not completely sure of the date, so I just put a random date that is generally close to the actual last day of school). -
Entered Northbrook Middle School
It was nice because all of my teachers in sixth grade were all in the same little area of the hallway so I never really had to walk that much from class to class. The only time I had to walk longer was when I had to go to connections, which are basically the electives. All the electives were in the same hallway, but they were a farther distance away from the hallway my teachers were at. -
Started Learning Violin
I wasn't sure if I should do band like my siblings or orchestra because both of them really did interest me, so I decided to do both. In August I started learning the violin, and that was nice. I still play it today and orchestra is one of my classes currently. -
Started Clarinet for a Semester
I did band and orchestra at around the same time but I remember orchestra started playing their instruments about a week before band. I was going to play the alto saxophone, but at Northbrook, you could only pick clarinet, flute, trumpet, or trombone to start on for a semester before you chose any other instrument you actually wanted to play. So for a semester, I did clarinet before I could start on the alto sax.
(We rented the clarinet at Music and Arts; I didn't take that picture, though) -
Started Alto Saxophone
I'm not sure on the date, but I think it was around this time. Everyone finally switched instruments. Since everyone would technically be new to their instruments, the school hired a few other teachers to teach us in small sectional groups. At the time there were about two tenor saxes and about five alto saxophones (two altos switched back to clarinet, and in seventh grade two people moved to Northbrook. One played alto. The other played clarinet for a semester before switching to baritone sax.) -
Play
I don't recall the exact date, just that it was a Saturday in March i think, so I just put the first Saturday of March of that year.
Basically, my mom works for this couple to take care of their 27 or so year old daughter. She suffered an accident where she couldn't get enough oxygen to her brain. The mom saw I played violin, and so she asked for me to play a bit, and I did, but I think I played not as good as I could, and I think that just made me even more nervous to play in front of people. -
Hospital
My cousin had to stay in the hospital after he was diagnosed with a type of cancer (my parents never mentioned which type). We went to visit him. My siblings, cousins, and I played uno with him. -
Friend
My friend's dad passed away, and she was really sad about it. I want to be able to help her in some way, and so since she missed the eighth grade dance, something she was looking forward to before her dad dies, my friends and I tried to recreate a smaller version with other friends for her. -
Graduated Middle School
The last day of eighth grade was nice. We just walked around the eighth grade hallways and some of the connection rooms where we could talk or just play some sort of games. Someone brought their Nintendo Switch. Outside their were bouncy houses and slides. The school also gave Chick-Fil-A for us to eat. We also did yearbook signing and all that.
(idk on the date that the last day of school was on so this is just a date similar to that one)
(the yearbook had everyone's name on it) -
Band Camp
Our schedule for the majority of says we went was to be outside from around 8 to 12 for four hours doing warm ups/basics and setting drill/learning how to do things. Then we had 12 pm to 1 pm for lunch, and 1 pm to about 3 to do sectionals/ practice our music inside. Georgia summer heat is brutal. (Note for Picture: Just switch the grass to sidewalk and that's basically what happened the first four hours in morning/outside block. We learned how to march and practiced sets as we learned them. -
Entered Peachtree Ridge High School
My classes aren't all that bad, i just strongly dislike waking up early. Apparently I read before that the CDC recommends high schools and middle schools to start no earlier than 8:30 am, but I'm not completely sure if that's true. -
First Marching Band Show
I remember being really, really nervous. Playing in the stands wasn't so bad, but doing the half-time show was super nerve-wracking. I ended up messing some of my counts and music, plus I lost the tempo. However, all of us messed up, so I wasn't the only one. (I'm not sure if that's better, though...) (Note: The picture was taken recently by my dad when I wasn't looking. Technically though, since it was taken last Friday, it's not my first marching band game at this point.) -
First Job
I mean I'm obviously not going to start of working in some fabulous place. i'll start out small doing small stuff. and it doesn't have to be directly winter break. It might be during summer break too. I want to start saving soon, too. -
Permit?
I just put a random date near the start of the school year and so like hopefully I can get a permit by then. I'm not sure when I'll actually get one, though. -
18th Birthday
I guess it would be pretty neat to be officially considered an adult, but at the same time, I'd rather not do adult things. Also, I turn eighteen a day after election day, when we do the midterms, so can I even vote??? I'm not really sure. -
Graduate High School
The thought of leaving regular school like high school and middle school seems strange. My siblings already graduated, and their schedules are more open for other things like work, for example. (it doesn't mean they aren't busy; one of them works two jobs) (Also idk the actual date so I did a random one) -
Enter College
As of now, I'm not sure exactly what I want to do as a career, and I'm not really sure what college I'm going to go to, either.
(the picture will most likely be me my first year) -
Graduate (finally)
If I attend college for 6-8 years I'd finally finish education at around this yeas, give or take some of I want to have a break year in between -
Career
I'm hoping I get an actual job related to what I studied around this year so I can start working to save up money for other things to do in life. -
Travel
I'd like to, once I save money, travel a bit to see different cultures and regions. I've never been anywhere outside the United States. I'd like to be fluent in other languages and visit places like South Korea, Japan, France, Mexico, and other places. It would be nice. -
Child???
I'm thinking in the future I might adopt??? But I'm not sure. I've never liked someone before, so I'm not sure how that works. I was thinking of maybe adopting. I'm not sure about having kids, though, but I'll see.
(honestly I'm not sure when) -
Death
Hopefully I live long enough and take care of myself so that i reach the next century. (plus there's bound to be new technology to help with that, right?)
