As me and my older brother tried to walk by the dog for one reason or another started chasing us. My brother has a year on me so he was faster than me. By the time the dog caught up to us she obviously jumped on me because I was the slower one. That day I learned to never be the slower one. -

In 2004 I went to school for the first time. I walked into my kindergarten class and my teacher brought me to a desk with a name on it. I looked at the name on my desk studying it. Before that day I didn't know what my name was in English or how it was spelled. The first thing we learned was our abc's and I Memorized them the first time my teacher said them. That was my first day of a 13 year journey through the public education system that is coming to an end in 3 weeks. -

In kindergarten me and my friend tom decided to take the back two seats of the short pm bus and in elementary school they were a prized possession. When the girl that always sat in the back two seats tried to sit in toms seat he blocked her off. So she tried to get in my seat but I pushed her a little to hard and she fell and hit her head. The bus driver gave the girl an ice pack and when I said I was sorry the bus driver said sorry doesn't help which completely shattered my world. -

In 2006 I lost someone very close to me. My grandma passed away when I was only 7 years old. I was very close to my grandma and her passing had a big impact on my life. I was only 7 years old so I didn't really grasp the whole idea of someone dying. That was the first time in my life that I lost something I loved that would never ever come back. I didn't realize it right away I learned about a thing everyone will have to face more and more as we get older. -

In 7th grade my soccer coach Mr. O'malley died in a car accident the weekend before our last game against our rival from across the street. When I saw it on Facebook I didn't believe it I thought it was some kind of joke. Even when it was confirmed I was in disbelief. He the coolest coach and teacher I ever had. He was engaged and about to get married. It took me some time too accept that he passed away. Seeing his cold lifeless body in a coffin had a huge impact on me. -

In the spring of 2015 my friend accidentally started a fire and burned down a 7 acre field. Me and some of my friends weren't far off when it started to get out of control. It was a hot and windy day and the tall grass was very dry so the fire spread very quickly. We all tried to put it out but stomping on the fire was not helping. By the time we all took off our shirts and started putting the fire out it was too late the fire had become too big. That day I learned that some jokes aren't funny. -

Our neighbors call the police on us for have a duck. The police told us to get rid of it. We decided to kill and eat it. When I found the courage I swung the hatchet down and missed. I picked the hatchet back up and swung again and got his whole neck except a small piece of skin. He started jumping with his head just hanging on. The ducks head was still alive and trying to breath without his body. It was a scary scene all for me proving to my self that I can do things when they need to be done. -
entry 9
One bad day my cat Leo was hit by a car on my street. I loved this cat a lot more than any other pet. He deserved to be buried. I wanted to bury him in the back yard so I dug a grave. I went and got the cat from the side of the road and brought him to my back yard. I put him in a plastic bag and buried him. The whole process was hard and emotional because I loved and wished that Leo was still alive. If I ever found out who speed down my street and killed him I would beat the life out of them. -
entry 10
Senior year had 5 goal one assist game that gave me confidence for the rest of my lacrosse career. The first half started out terribly I took several stupid shots and stupid penalties. I was on my last strike too being benched. The game was 4-3 us at the half. I scored right before hitting the ground while being pushed. I scored two more quick goals and the game winning assist. 4th quarter I pinned the corner and scored very late to kill their comeback hopes. We won 11-7 first win of the season.
