  • An Embarrassing Moment

    An Embarrassing Moment
    It was a long time ago. I'm happy it only happened in front of family. I was 7 and I loved playing the Gameboy we had. I took it into the bathroom and put it down on the sink while I used the bathroom. When I left, I paid too much attention to my Gameboy. I had forgotten to do my belt again. When I walked out, my pants fell. I was so embarrassed. Thankfully, only my dad and Nino saw.

    Mom's Cancer
    When my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, no one really knew what to do. I tried to show that I was alright, but all the time I was worried about her. It showed in school, I stopped participating as much. But, I got through it and my mom's cancer was in remission sooner than expected.
  • Losing Honor Roll

    Losing Honor Roll
    8th grade. I stopped caring about everything, but still managed to things done...or so I thought. Turns out, I kept slacking on my math homework. Between missing assignments in math and my grades dropping a bit in other courses, I lost honor roll. Since then, I've worked on trying to get high honor roll for the rest of my school years
  • My Only Regret

    My Only Regret
    I consider this my only regret and my worst mistake. When my grandma was in the hospital for her cancer, my mom and I went to visit her. When the time came, I couldn't bring myself to enter her room. I couldn't beat to see her like that. A few weeks passed and she died. I missed my last chance to see my grandma
  • First Varsity Goal

    First Varsity Goal
    First year of varsity was hard. I was one of the smallest kids. I couldn't score like my brother. During one of our last games, we played Lakeland/Panas. They weren't the best team, so my coach put me out as much as possible. Finally, off of the face off I got a pass. I took the shot, the goalie blocked it. Another shot. I went for the rebound and scored.
  • Losing Control

    Losing Control
    We own property upstate, a few miles away from Cobleskill. We went on a night ride on our quads. We started going down a big hill and my quad stalled. No lights, no engine. I called out to the people in front of me to no avail. I started to panic. I thought I was gonna die. However, I talked myself through it. I slowed it all down, telling myself what to do. My quad started back up and everything was ok.

    My half brother was about to have another kid. He approached me one day and asked me to be the Godfather. I was extremely surprised that he chose me, even though both Nino and Jesse were probably more suitable.
  • My First Crush

    My First Crush
    My first crush didn't end well. I screwed up in a lot of ways. I was overly clingy, I opened up a bit too much, and I failed to see that she didn't feel the same way about me. However, through this experience, I learned that people see me in their own way, not just how I want them to see me.
  • Getting a new PC

    Getting a new PC
    I wanted a new gaming pc, but I had no money. Knowing my parents wouldn't help me buy one, I set out to earn enough money for it. Saving money from work wasn't easy. I had to split my earnings between my savings account and my pc fund. Eventually, I saved enough and got my pc.
  • My Girlfriend

    Between my personality and my personal dislike for myself, I never thought I'd get a girlfriend. My first crush went...south. I was upset for a long time, but then I met Jesse. She was amazing in every way. We got to know each other and I finally got the confidence to ask her out.
