The day I was born
I was born later than usual. The doctors had to induce my Mother with medicine in order to pull me out. When they got me out of my Mother's womb, it started snowing and I was born at 5:00 AM. -

First Day of School
When I first started school I was pretty nervous at first, but I felt it was all right because I had made many friends there. But during my later years at Liberty Traditional School I was bullied a lot and I tried to hold my anger in. But when my anger got out, I couldn't control my anger at them and I was forced to move away to Surprise Arizona -
Trip to Utah
Before me and my family had gone to Utah, they woke me up late at night and we started driving to Utah.The trip was a long ways away, but when I got there i met my cousin who had the sam interests as me, and his name is Devan. After Devan and I had fun together, me and my family were going to see the attractions in Utah, more particularly, the Science Museum. In conclusion, I had areally great time there, but this was not only my first but also my only trip to Utah. -
The day I realized I had autism
When I was in fifth grade on the weekend, me and my Grandmother went to the local movie rental store. Before we got into the store, my Grandmother told me something I didn't know before. She said that the reason she called me a special child is because I had autism, which came as a shock to me. She told me that I was diagnosed with autism since I was four years old, and at that moment, I realized it is my duty to be an advocate for people with the autism spectrum everywhere. -
Moving from Prescott Valley to Surprise
When we moved from Prescott Valley to Surprise, I was going to miss all of my friend there and I was curious and nervous about what my life will hold for me. The house that we moved into was a two story house with a pool and I really enjoyed my time living there. Although I did have to see many psychologists and psychiatrists that I'm still seing in 2015, this part of my life so far was one of the greatest. -
My first time at an online school
Since we moved to Surprise, we were at first thinking about going to a regular school, but I was still afraid that I would still be bullied at that school. So I was introduced to my first online school k12 and it was at first fitting me with capabilities an online school has to offer. But when the school work started getting harder, it stressed me out and I had to go to another online high school, and that's when I found Primavera. -
Trip to Carlsbad, California
When I heard that me and my family were going to Carlsbad, California I was leaping with joy because I have never been to California and I was excited to go there. When we went to California I would be going to Legoland for the first time and I had a great time there. Before we left to go back to Surprise, I was going to one of the only places I would be at peace and that place was the beach, we also had a great time at the beach and the perfect family memory. -
Graduating Middle School
When I graduated middle school, I was enjoying myself that I finally had a feeling of accomplishment, a feeling that I had never felt before. This also the first time what it felt to be a high school freshman and it felt good. I still have my middle school diploma to this day hanged above where I work my Primavera school work. -
Move to Wickenburg
When I heard that we would be moving to a different town again, I felt distraught, filled with nostalgia about my days in Prescott Valley. When we moved into the new house, it wasn't as great as the old house but it was home all the same. It was a one story house with a pool and a backyard garden almost as great as The Garden of Eden. -
My Foot Surgery
This day was the day I was fearing about for months. A few weeks after my 16th birthday, I had to go to a hospital and the podiatrist said that I have a tarsal coalition, which that the have to remove a tendon in my foot. The hardest part about my surgery to me was the I.V. and that I was under anesthesia. When I woke up, I had to lie in bed with a cast for 1 or 2 week.
