Was a pretty big 7 pound baby and came out crying a lot but overtime stopped and at some point my parents named me Christopher.
-
First day of Pre-K wasn't the best haha. My mom left which was the worst feeling and then I started pouring my eyes out to the point where they put me in a spot with a teacher till I calm down. Instead, I just get an idea to open the door and run out the building thinking my mom is going to be outside but I never made it to the sidewalk haha.

2008 was the first time I've played because it was the first time that I got a console which was the very first xbox and it was a highlight of my life because thats when I got introduced to video games.
-
At some point in 2009 me and my mom had went to target at the mall. I then decide to hid in between the clothing rack and my mom looked down and I wasn't there anymore even though I was inches away. She then, had the workers try and find me screaming out my name.
-
Around this time, my parents wanted me to do something during the summer instead of being home or always with friends ao they recommended karate. I had to think about it for a bit but I went for it and it was alright I guess, also wasn't for me though. I made it to be an orange belt.
-
This year my parents signed me up for a small soccer team and it was great at first, but overtime it started to get boring and started to notice it's not really my thing.

One day I wanted a lottery ticket from the grocery store since I had a dollar. My dad got the lottery ticket for me and while I was in the backseat scratching off the scratch-off, it turns out to be that I won $3,000 and I was the happiest kid alive.
-
Now this year, I wanted to try and play football and so I got signed up for the portage park team. At the time, I was a bit chubbier so I was a linemen and I started to like football a lot and was getting good. Especially on defense.
-
So while the football season was over at the park district, my mom wanted me to keep trying new things out so I then tried out an instrument to play in a band for the school. I played the trombone and was good at that as well. Was actually one of the best in my group.
-
During this year of my elementary life I tried out for the basketball team at my school and made it. Wasn't the best on the team but I for sure had fun playing the sport and learning more about it.
-
During this day, I was in Peru driving with my uncle, mom, and brother. We were passing by beautiful mountains and valleys that you don't see here in Chicago AT ALL. Great experience.
-
For 8th grade I was put into the higher groups and in that group I got to be able to learn algebra and had the chance to take a test to be able to take geometry as a freshman or take algebra again as normal. I didn't think I was but... I passed the algebra exit exam.
-
Not only did pass the algebra exit exam; I got the news that I was graduating! In the last week, we were rehearsing for graduation and it felt great to be moving on. Next step was get high school out the way.
-
This was the first time I ever step foot on California grounds and it was beautiful and the weather was really hot. Walking around Los Angeles is a way different vibe from Chicago. I would think of it as a tropical vibe. It was my favorite trip out of all my trips I had.
-
Can't forget about the trip you get to get before graduating. I went to downtown and went up on the willis tower and then we went to a fire pizza restaurant, went on a boat ride, and we just had a good time in general.
-
My freshman year, I was looking forward to the football season for a while and I had went to summer camp so I was prepared. Met new people, learned new ways to do things, learned how to understand people but aside from all that was I learned to play football. I got put at wide receiver for the first time.
-
Wasn't a dog I always wanted but I was glad to take my dog, Elsa, in when somebody offered her to us because she wanted to give her away. She's a tiny shih tzu and likes to lay down and chill. She is considered a house dog. I'm going to take care of her regardless of anything because she became my little companion.
-
I finished everything I had to do at church to FINALLY have my 1st communion. It was about time I had to because I should've done it a while ago but me and my family never got to it.
-
2020, the year that had everyone surprised and terrified and sad all together back to back. Covid-19 will be a big part of my life that I will remember I lived through because you don't see situations like this to happen.
-
On this day I've seen my mom the happiest she's ever been when she came out to a surprise. Me and my sister planned something for my mom since my mom wanted this for a long time and it had to happen. We had a mariachi band in our yard waiting to sing when she came out the door.
