The day that I was born
-
The day I was born shaped who I was because it literally made me and it lead me to have the opportunities. Being born also set me up in the environment I grew up in.
-
Going to a parade for a sports team really shaped how I feel about sports now. Every night my brother and I would try staying up to watch whatever sport games we could watch. Playing,watching, and talking sports is something Id say is a big aspect of me.

Learning about my familys past and struggles
-
learning about my family's past explained
This helped me shape my values it shaped my identity. My family struggled with smoking and drug abuse along with alcoholism. Learning about this really made me think about that when I was young and led me to never doing drugs or drinking unlike so many people around me. Even at family parties if I'm offered a sip of beer or something or a kid wants me to hit a vape I've never accepted since it goes against who I want myself to be. -

Joining my baseball team explained (teamwork and leadership)
Joining a baseball team was the first time other than school that I really was with a group of people that I knew and felt comfortable with. Playing a team sport taught me to speak up and to lift others up when they to lifted me up. I learned to become a leader and get things back together when regularly our team wasn't trying. I made a lot of friends and still miss playing with a team its an experience I'm glad I got it helps me communicate with others easier now. -
going to church explained (my religion)
Despite the title name I actually have no religion . I come from two atheist parents who didn't push anything on me so I didn't care for it at all. My uncle would bring me to the after church on Wednesday but I never cared for the ideas or beliefs but I don't take away from anyone who does believe in that. I learned I really didn't care for religion but I also learned that respecting someone else's religion is just as important. -
The passing of my cat haven

The passing of my cat explained (dealing with death)
I came home one day and asked where the cat was, he was a family cat we had for years an older cat that liked to cuddle. When I asked my uncle handed me a card that I read was about the passing of pets. Reading that card hurt me as a kid and it really had me thinking about how people or pets really are special and how we should love them before they are gone. It made me think of life as something more special but also something to have fun with as well to enjoy. -
Getting frustrated with baseball and with my family at games.
-
Mad at baseball explained (family love and regret)
In baseball I was in a slump and couldnt get a hit. This was getting me mad since I couldnt get a hit in a few games and my mom always tried to just help but I was mad at the game and told her to leave one time. It was a big mistakes I felt terrible about. I never wanted to hurt my mom and apologized after everything. This made me feel really guilty and I felt like I should have been way better about handling myself and how I talk to people I love. -
Watching a wrestling match for the first time
-
Watching wrestling explained (finding something I really love)
My mom had a match on and I decided to watch it. I fell in love watching wrestling and got really into it. My days were spent watching more clips and learning about it. Its a big part of my personality it influences my music taste and how I feel about entertainment. I love watching wrestling its an escape from the real world that gives me a chance to just enjoy the best of the best do what they do best. Watching Rey mysterio hit a 619 was what really got me into it -
Covid explained (how I am now)
Covid really hit hard with school. 8th grade was so exciting to me and I couldn't wait to be on the big kid floor and in the cool rooms when it was all taken. I was trapped inside forced into talking through phone and games. I stopped caring about school just sleeping or skipping the classes to go eat. It changed how I view school for a while and it took freshman year to get me back on track for high school. Not seeing people for that long also made me more anti social. -
My girlfriend explained (who I am now and how ive changed)
Getting a girlfriend has taught me a lot about how I see things like school and reasonability. Without my girlfriend I wouldn't have a driving factor that really pushes me to be the best I could be. Having a girlfriend made me think more maturely and shaped me into a better person not just for myself but also for her since we are able to handle problems in healthy ways like learning to better communicate. -
