Getting Our First Family Pet
Sometime in 2003 my family and I got our first pet dog. The old beast, also known as Wilson, is 13 years old as of last month. He spends most of his time napping on the couch and eating Milk bones. We got Wilson at my Grandmas house when her dog had just had puppies. Wilson stood out from the rest of them because he the smallest and he was running around chasing his tail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=de1a-DSL1G4 -
Learning to Skateboard
Sometime in 2006 my neighbor Garrett and I got our first skateboards. We got them at Walmart, but to us they were just as good as the real ones. We would skate up and down our road all day and all night until our parents would yell at us to come inside for dinner. This stood out as an important event in my life because this is what I remember most about my childhood. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dk0e0_cqknI -
Winning Best Sense of Humor
In 8th grade I, along with Jenna Mill, won best sense of humor and we had our pictures put into the yearbook. I remember looking into the yearbook and being so satisfied that I had my own designated spot on a page. Although I feel like I should've been put as class clown because of all the pain I put my teachers through, I'll take best sense of humor any day. -
My Dad Moved Away for Work
My dads job was transferring their warehouse to South Carolina for business related reasons and they had asked him to go. For obvious reasons he had said yes so he can keep us under the roof we're still under today. Long story short, he was living down there for roughly a year with only the occasional visit for holidays and birthdays. He ended up being fired(After working there for 18 years) and he came back home and were here today. -
Sister Getting Knocked Out In My Grandmas Basement
The day after Thanksgiving my sister and I were skateboarding in my grandmas concrete floor basement. I thought it would be funny to hit the back of her skateboard with mine but it ended horribly. I hit her skateboard, she lost balance, fell back and hit her head on the floor. Her eyes rolled into her head so being paranoid I ran upstairs where my dad was and was yelling that Alyssa was hurt. A trip to the E.R and she wasn't even concussed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PuEI4hq9UI -
First Job
In the summer of 2014 I landed my first job as a cashier at Kobackers Market. I remember being extremely nervous the first day because I knew I'd be making a lot of mistakes in front of people I had just met. But working there had made me more confident in speaking to people and I think it's made me more social in a way. I still am working there and I don't look forward to the next shift(s) i have in the future. -
High Honor Roll
Last year, during the last quarter of the School year I got my first high honor roll. They called my name in gym to get my sheet and I saw that the sheet was green(Indicating that it was high honor roll) and I was kind of shocked. I'm a decent student but I didn't expect to have a high honor roll. my mom and dad were proud so I'm definitely going for more this year. -
First Date
On March 8th, 2016 I went on my first date with the girl who's now my girlfriend. I did the smooth thing and asked her to the movies, and she said she wanted to go with her friend too.(Her friend dates my friend) So we got to the movies and everything went well and I didn't make an idiot of myself surprisingly. It definitely helped that my friend was there because it could've been super awkward. But all in all it went well, and also, I was terrified to go on a date. -
Drivers license
On June 26th at around 9:30 I took my road test. I was so scared because the instructor looked like a huge A hole, turns out he was cool. So pulling out of the curb to start the test I went over the double yellow and I thought for sure I had just failed. But anyway I kept driving and did really well, until the K turn. How hard could a K turn be right? Well I messed it up really bad and he told me to just drive back to the starting point. There was a moment of silence, he told me I had passed. -
Camping with my family
In the first week of September my family and I went on a camping trip to Roscoe New York for the weekend. It was an awesome experience, and I'd love to do it again. We would wake up early in the morning and go to the stream and clean ourselves off, the water was ice cold so it'd wake us up. The trips through the town were also really fun. We all got root beer floats and hung out and listened to a little band, times like that are what I cherish. Time without phones, and just the family having fun
