My Life Timeline
Here is a timeline of many events that happened throughout my life. -
Born
On December 24th, 2001, I was born into the world at Putnam Hospital at 8:06 AM. I was essentially the Christmas gift for my entire family. I was born a small, frail boy, but this would later change. -
Falling out a tree for the first time
After moving into my current home in 2005, I became fascinated with climbing trees, and my yard had plenty to climb. While climbing one of the trees, I became scared to get down. I soon gained the confidence to jump down, but during the descent, I smacked my chin on a branch, and face planted on the ground. After this day, I had a fear of climbing anything and became the origin for my fear of heights. -
Learning to ride a bike
I always wanted to ride a bike without training wheels on, but was always scared to do this. But one evening, I decided to try riding my dad's old clown bike. I rode the bike pretty well and it taught me the balance needed to ride a bike normally without falling off. -
Death of my Grandfather
My grandfather was one of my greatest friends when I was younger. I was always excited to go to my grandparents house when I was younger to do activities with my grandfather, such as fishing, cooking, or hearing old world war 2 stories. His death in 2008 was a crushing blow for me, and took a lot of time for me to recover. -
Ruining a baseball game by pitching
When I was younger, I used to play Little League baseball. I was always an outfielder and wanted to give pitching a try. After days of begging, my coach finally let me give pitching a try. That night was a huge embarrassment. I don't think I threw a straight ball that night. We lost the game, and my coach and team was very disappointed at me. I haven't pitched in baseball since. -
My First Roller Coaster
During my first trip to Disney World in Orlando, Florida, I rode my first roller coaster, Rock n' Roller Coaster. This was also my first upside down coaster. I was scared at first going on, since the start of the ride launches you to over 50 miles per hour, but soon gained the confidence to surpass my fear. I ended up enjoying the ride and still go on roller coasters to this day. -
Joining the Track Team
In middle school, I wanted to join a school sport, but felt I wouldn't fit in with many of them. As a last minute decision, I decided to give Cross Country a try. After a rough start, I soon started to enjoy the sport, and Cross Country started what would become my High School Track Career. -
First Time Playing Paintball
This year was my first time playing paintball. I knew about the sport before but never played. After throwing on the rental gear, I felt like a soldier going out into battle. Once on the field, I was having the time of my life. Little did I know at the time that this would be the start to one of my favorite hobbies today. -
Going Hiking in Cave's
Every summer for the past 3 years my family and I went Lake George in upstate New York for vacation. During one of the visits, we decided to go check out this hike where you can see caves. The hike we really cool, and I was really surprised. There was geisers that shot water high up, and caves you can go in for a really unique view. This was one of the most surprising trips during my stay. -
First Car and Senior License
For my 17th Birthday, I got my first car, a toyota highlander. A couple days later, I also got my senior license. This was very important to me because now I had more freedom from what I was originally able to do. -
Breaking my Fear of Heights
Ever since the tree incident, I always had a fear of heights. While in Lake George, a new zipline opened that made you speed down the side of a mountain. While at the bottom, it looked horrifying, and passed on it. The next year we went to Lake George, I decided to give it a try. After the 15 minute truck ride up the mountain, I got strapped up and only had one way down. Once going down the zipline, I was having a blast, and my fear of heights was no more. -
Pulling my Hamstring
During a recent track meet, it was very wet outside and I decided not to stretch too much in order to stay clean. During my 400 meter relay, I ended up pulling my hamstring, preventing me from completing my other events that day, and prevented me from participating at Red Raider, one of the most serious meets during the season.
