  • I was born

    I was born
    I was born in Yonkers at 12:36PM.
  • I moved to Brewster

    I moved to Brewster
    I was three years old and I moved from Yonkers to Brewster. I remember driving by our house, which at the time was being built, with my mom and my dad. I thought the house was SOO big because we were coming from a small apartment in Yonkers. It was definitely a big change, regarding the setting. From what I can remember the apartment we lived in was very small, and there was a city around it. This house was bigger, and was in the country side.
  • I got my dog, Mickey

    I got my dog, Mickey
    After we moved to Brewster, we went to visit my Aunt who lived in the city. It was a few days before my birthday so we were going to see her and get my presents. When we got to her apartment, a little golden retriever/chow dog ran up to me and started licking me. I played with him the whole night, and when it came time to leave I started to cry because I wanted to take him home. I didn't realize that he was my present, but we ended up taking him home.
  • My sister, Gia, was born

    My sister, Gia, was born
    I remember hopping in the car with my dad going to visit my mom in the hospital. I don't think I knew what was happening, since when I got there my dad explained to me that my mom was holding my new born sister. They gave me a batman toy so I wouldn't be in the way of everyone. The last thing I remember was holding my sister before she came home a few days later
  • Starting Tae-kwon-do

  • Losing my great grandma

    Losing my great grandma
    In 2012 my great grandma died. It was a few days before her 100th birthday. I didn't see my great grandma very often, but I would go about once a year to visit her. My dad has a lot of stories with her in her old age that were very funny. It was the first time I experienced death that I can remember.
  • I stopped going to UMAC

    I stopped going to UMAC
    In the winter of 2012 I started to develop extreme stomach pain that caused me to be in and out of hospitals from September till January. During that time I was told not to go to UMAC, and even if I wanted to it was very hard due to the pain. In January I found out that I was lactose intolerant, which was the cause of the pain. Shortly after I returned to UMAC, but since I haven't been there in 5 months I forgot almost everything. So I ended up having to stop at second degree black belt.
