Little League baseball
When I was 5 my dad coached my baseball team. It was the start of something special between my dad and I. My dad would continue to coach me up until I was 12. It was always great having that bonding time with your dad on the field. It taught me to appreciate the good times with people and enjoy yourself. My dad taught me how to listen to people and learn from them. -
First day of middle school
My first day of middle school was at Our Lady of Grace in Penndel. I transfer from St. Thomas because our school closed. It was a easy transition because of how accepting the kids were at OLG. I was glad to experience a new school but knew it would be short lived. I was the only kid going to Truman for high school and I was very sad to leave all of my new friends. I'm glad to call kids from OLG my best friends still to this day. -
Graduated 8th grade
After attending OLG for 2 years with the same 28 kids in my class. I was sad to leave OLG only after 2 years. It was a great experience at a new school but knew it would be short lived. I was the only kid going to Truman for high school and I was very sad to leave all of my new friends. I'm glad to call kids from OLG my best friends still to this day. -
First day of High school
My first day at Truman was a rough day for me. I only knew a handful of kids when I walked through those doors. I didn't know how to get around but I luckily had my brother for some help. I didn't even know anyone to sit with at lunch so I sat at the end of his table. Then he introduced me to his girlfriends brother who I ended up sitting with at lunch. I slowly made a couple of friends as the school year progressed. this taught me that things are going to be rough but i can conquer anything. -
First lacrosse season
My first lacrosse season was 10th grade. I always admired lacrosse but never had the ambition to go out for the team. I am always shy when it comes to new things that I don't know. Lacrosse was a great sport to become a part of because of how it pushed me to learn something completely new. It also helped me become even though we lost almost every game, I still perceived and went out every day. -
My first Job
My first real job was at McDonald's in Bristol. It was a brand new experience for me. It was alright when I started working there. The longer I worked there the worst and worst it got. I loved my paychecks at over $300 sometimes.Trying to work 25 hours a week and going to school for 7 hours a day was very hard. So after about 3 months I had to quit. This job helped me realize how important education really is and made me work harder in school. -
When I became an uncle
I became an uncle to my beautiful niece Grayson Lineman. I was so happy to be an uncle and couldn't wait for what is in store. It was a ridiculous idea to wrap my head around. That I would be that figure for someone to look up too. It taught me to be more of a grown up and to lead her on the right path. I just want to make sure that she is given every opportunity to succeed. I hope I can teach her how to succeed. -
Last Season of Basketball
My last basketball season was a great season. We made the playoffs but lost in the second round. I've been playing since kindergarten. I always loved basketball since I was little. Basketball taught me that nothing comes easy. The harder I worked at it the better I got. It also taught me to trust my teammates and to help people when they needed it. -
When I got my drivers license
The day I got my drivers license is the day I gained my freedom. I passed the test easily because of all the practicing I did with my parents. Driving isn't very hard to do but its hard to be a good and safe driver. Driving has taught me that things might seem easy but things are hard to master. It also taught me responsibilities to be on time and to take care of your things. -
Present Day
As my senior year is winding down. Its going to be another tough transaction but nothing I can't handle.Its going to be a sad day as i walk out of those doors for the last time on Friday. I'm ready to move on to the real world. High school has helped me build the foundation for my life. Teaching me good work ethic, consequences and how to have fun during it all.
