    This is the day I was born, December 30th, 2000. My life would be non existant if it wasnt for this day. I am forever grateful I was born because there is nothing more precious than life.
  • The Begining of Basketball

    The Begining of Basketball
    This is the year I began to watch basketball with my dad. This developed my love and drive for the game. The pistons won the championship this year, against Kobe and the Lakers. I think we can all learn a lot from basketball its more than just a game.
  • My Idol

    My Idol
    I remember watching Dywane Wade play the Indiana Pacers. He turned into my favorite player. I model my game after him. The was he fearlessly drives to the basket just amazes me.
  • Golf Starts

    Golf Starts
    In June of 2007 I started golf. But I don't think I would play if it wasn't for my papa. I golf about 4 times a week in the summer. Im around a 12 handycap. My cousins William and Austin taught me how to do everything from hitting a tee shot, to sinking putts.
  • Thomas Moves

    Thomas Moves
    This year my family friend of mine, Thomas, moved to California. This changed my life. I couldnt just hang with him anymore. He developed into a really bad example. I no longer talk to him often.

  • I Finnally Won One

    I Finnally Won One
    This is the year I won my 1st National Championship in riding. This just showed me that anything is possible if you put yur mind to it. This gave me confidence to go out and do it again.
  • The Passing of a Friend

    The Passing of a Friend
    This is when my life long companion Prince, passed away. It just reminded me to cherish every moment. I was in Colorado when he died. It was 4 days befor my birthday too. That made it harder to take the loss
  • Bentley!!

    Bentley!!
    This month I got my dog Bentley. He's not very intellegent and responsibility is a package deal. He is a golden doodle. He's cute, but so far from smart.
  • Failure

    Failure
    I fell behind in school, I had 3 Bs. It was very hard to catch back up. I will try to never let this happen again because my mom wouldn't let me go to the gym or golf or even hang out with friends for nearly a month.
  • Acomplishment

    Acomplishment
    This is when I learned practice makes perfect. I was in a very difficult and loud class. Due to practice I handled it well and got Reserve National Champion (2nd place).
  • Cut

    Cut
    I got nervous going in on a very tough horse. It was a cut of about 26, 10 moved on to the final. I will never get cut again if I don't have to. This gave me a feeling of failure, I really don't like this feeling.
  • The Park

    The Park
    I went in an 18 and under class. The hardest class to win! It was so loud I couldnt even hear. I had a great ride and got 3rd out of like 17. The competition was very agressive, and wanted to win just as bad as I did.
  • Detention

    Detention
    On this day I got my first detention ever, for somthing didn't even do! I realized high school is very strict. Im no longer going to sit at that table at lunch because they got me in trouble.
