My first day on earth.
The day I was born. -
"Its a miricle"
On this day, after a week of pain, I had survived a near death expirience. The moment I was born, I had an amniotic fluid in my lungs. I had breathing problems, and I was close to death. After fighting for a week, I had survived. -
Opening day
My first Cubs game ever. This day was special to me because I got to see my favorite team play. I espesaily loved to see my favorite baseball player play. Sammy Sosa. To top it all off, I even got to shake hands with him. This was the first time I felt starstruck. -
America's national past time.
This is the day i fell in love with baseball. I grew up in the suburbs for half of my life and all that was played was baseball. Since baseball was big in the family, the tradition was passed to me. -
My little brother.
This was the day I had got my first baby brother. I had an older sister all ready, but I barely got to see her (since we're only half siblings). So, after feeling like an only child for awhile, I was excited. -
Time for a taste of Chicago
Time of year that almost everyone in Chicago waits for. The taste of Chicago. I don't remember a whole lot from that day, but what i remember is, that this is the day I feel in love with music (all tough I didn't know it at the time). -
"Bartman!!!"
Top of the 8th, one out, Cubs on top 3-2. Cubs are 5 outs away from going back to the world series since 1945. The batter from Florida fouls it off to the left feild. Alou goes up for it, interfered by Steve Bartman. later in the at bat, groundball to the shortstop and he dropped it. I was very upset that day, but later i learned to forgive and forget one's faults. It helped changed me that day. -
From the burbs to the city
This was the day I went from living in the suburbs into the city. It was very odd at first for me, so i stayed really quiet for a few months. Later, as I got into it, I found it very fitting for me better than the Suburbs. -
"The song remains the same"
This is the day that I saw a movie that inspired me to play guitar. The song remains the same. After seeing the best guitar player e ver play in this movie, I picked up a guitar and played it for hours. Ever since then, I fell in love with music. -
"Not another one."
After saying I wanted a younger sibling in my life, I felt like I was wrong. This day, though, was the day my other brother was born. I felt upset at first, because I wanted to be an only child, but later, as time goes on, I learned that family is forever. -
My first guitar
All though I had two other guitars at home, I did not have one I could not call my own. Today was going to change. I got a Red washburn electric guitar. In the car, I was super excited to get home and to play it. After playing it for twenty minutes, I poped a string. Still, I couold not have been happier. -
Sad day for the family
My great-grandma had past on this day. I rememer the tears in my eyes and the greif I had felt. I was close to her. I used to talk to her about anything and she wouldn't judge me. I felt that nothing wrong could ever happen to me when I was around her. -
Turn around
This was the day I had gotten my act together. I struggled a lot accademicly, mainly because I didn't care. My report card came home, and the grades are not good. I had a long sit down with many people that day to talk to me about it, and they all gave the kick I needed to turn everything around. -
Goodbye middle school
The day has finally came. I graduataded 8th grade. It was a small step to a big future. -
My gaurdian angel
This day shocked me more than anything. This was the day that felt like it was me versous everyone, including my friends and family. I sat alone in a resturant trying to calm down. Eventually, an older lady came by and talked to me to calm me down. Then she told me, "If they upset or hurt you, they are not worth being in your life." Then she left. I realized she was right , and it helped me turn everything around. -
hello high school
The first day of high school. After a big summer, it was time for it to come to an end. Walking was an adventure in itself. I got lost a couple times, but at the end of the day, I could tell it would be a fun year. -
City races
The big day was here. The city finals for the froshoph track and feild team. I was a freshman at the time, so I was going against the older kids. I raced in two races that, and won last place for both. I was pretty upset at first, but after a long talk with my coach, I just prepared for next season. -
Time to get out there
This was the first day ever that I played guitar in front of people (other than my parents). I was very nervous at first, but as I got out there, it came to me naturlly and I had over come my stage frieght. -
Joining youth group.
This was the day I joined the youth group at North side Gospel center. It was a day that made me feel better about my religion. I felt kind of odd about it at first because i don't find kids my age with the same faith as me, but I felt like I belonged. -
Welcome to IBCC
It's the beggining of JR. year. This is not only a new day, it's the start of a new program, IBCC. It's the first year ever that Taft has had this program, and I am lucky to be in it.
