My dad taught me how to roller skate. I started learning on the sidewalk.
-
Started elementary school at Goodwin.
-
I started playing on a tee ball team sometime in Kindergarten.
-
When I turned 7, I got a Nintendo DS for my birthday. It was my first video game system, and I would play it for 4 more years.
-
I joined a Fox Valley soccer team a little while after I turned 7. I had been playing for a team for younger kids starting when I was 4 years old.
-
I got into Math Bowl in fourth grade, and I participated in it in fifth grade.
-
I played the clarinet in fifth grade but got bored of it. I didn't do band in middle school.
-
I was invited to join SCET.
-
I started middle school at Jewel.
-
I tried playing soccer at Jewel after I had quit my Fox Valley team. I lost interest quickly and didn't continue in seventh and eighth grade.
-
I quit playing for my soccer team right after the start of sixth grade.
-
I earned my black belt in Taekwondo. I quit six months later.
-
I broke my wrist while roller skating on the day before Easter.
-
I will start high school.
-
I predict I will have taken an art class as a prerequisite to take an animation class.
-
I want to meet people who are also interested in the same subjects I am, like drawing for example.
-
I want to get my driver's license (hopefully on the first test).
-
I want to have a part-time job, or some way to make a little extra money.

By the end of high school, I want to have been in a gaming tournament or competition.

I want to graduate high school and be ready to go to college.
-
I want to go to college to learn how to animate and/or create concept art.
-
I want to have sold a piece of artwork or uploaded an animated film to an online platform by the time I am 20 years old.
-
When I get out of college, I'll need somewhere to live. I'll probably try to get an apartment in Aurora.
-
I want to be animating full time for a company like Sony Animations or Pixar. If I'm not animating, I predict I will be working for a video game company drawing concept art.
-
By the time I'm 25, I want to have my own car (probably used).
-
I predict I will be a lot better at drawing than I am now.
-
Sometime after I turn 30, I predict I will have helped create a full length animated movie.
-
I hope I will receive a promotion wherever I end up working so I can move into a nicer home.
-
I predict I will move into a house or townhouse.
-
I predict I will still be playing video games.

I will probably have a pet when I move into a bigger home. I might get something small, such as a cat.
-
I will probably need to visit my parents every week when they get older.
-
I want to have done or achieved something great, such as save a life.
-
I want to go on a vacation outside the U.S. Preferably, somewhere the people speak English.
-
I may retire when I am 65 years old, depending on where I'm at with my job.
-
After I retire, I want to write a book to help young animators succeed in their careers.
-
I may be dead by the time I am 90 years old. Hopefully I live just a little bit longer.
