John Bleck's Life

  • Period: to

    Timespan

  • Sister is Born

    This was the point in my life where I was no longer the youngest child. I was now a middle child. I could now mentor someone else and have the chance to become a mentor. I would also not be as lonely in the future once my older siblings leave.
  • Learn to Ride a Bike

    Learning to ride a bike on your own is a big deal. It is not only just a skill most children learn. It is also a moment where you are all alone supporting yourself, without training wheels or a parent guiding you along.
  • First Stop Motion Video

    I made my very first stop motion video when I was nine years old. The video was made using my family's camera and my Lego toys. This short video sparked my love for making other animations, which led to my love of creating short films.
  • Siblings Move to College

    At this point, both of my older siblings were out of the house, at college. This made a huge impact on the amount of energy at home. Due to my brother being gone, it was far more quiet. I had to step up and start making some noise since it was just my Mom, Dad, my sister Emma, and me at home.
  • Sleepy Hollow (the musical)

    This was my first time on stage as an actor. The show gave me great confidence and pride in myself. This musical was by no means good at all, but it was the start of my time involved in theatre. I continue to participate in many theatre productions today. I am involved as an actor and the department video head.
