My Life from the Beginning to Now

My 4th Birthday!
On my 4th birthday I learned how to ride my bike. My bike was very small but big enough for me, i had to wear a helmet and elbow pads. My dad sent me off, i realized that if i didnt stop pedaling i would fall off but I was determined to ride a bike ad I did. -
Preschool
I started going to preschool at age 4. My mom was very nervous about me going but i was very eager to make new friends. I wanted to meet new people, have fun, and not get into TOO much trouble. -
Batter Up
I grabbed my baseball bag and headed to the field with my older sister. We played catch together and found a position we liked. I had a hard time waiting to play baseball because my dad and I would always play catch and hit the ball, but i wasnt old enough then. -
Elementary School
I got off the bus with my backpack. My hands were sweating and my heart racing, i was nervous. I stood in line with a bunch of other kindergardeners. I learned how to overcome fears and talk to new people. -
Wrestling
I walked into the wrestling room it was very hot and smelled like sweat. My dad was standing at the entrance and urged me on. i found a partner and started to wrestle. My first time in the wrestling room and I was one of the smallest of the kids my age, but i worked hard and ended up bigger and better than most of them. -
Gooooooooaaaaaaaal
I put my cleats and shin guards on and headed to the field with my mom. I found my coach and teammates, i knew most of them. I had a lot of fun and i got to trip people. Soccer got me really conditoned and I made new friends too. -
Touchdown
I decided to quit soccer for football. I had to play for Hartland because i had to be 8 to play for Holly and only 7 for them. I always wanted to play and finally got the chance too. In football I had to stay low because everyone was bigger than me, but later in the year I was one of the big hitters. -
Vacation!!
Right after the school year ended for 6th grade I left to go to Florida. This was my 1st vacation out of state and i was very excited. The car ride was 14 hours so I had to learn to be patient and how to manage my time to not be so bored. -
Middle School...
I got onto the bus with all my friends, I got out my schedule and gave it a good look to make sure i remembered where every class was. When we arrived i was very nervous and I could not open my locker. I had to be calm and ask a teacher for help which I dont like to do, this was a new school, new responsibilities. -
My First Break
Mid football season for 7th grade I broke my finger. I had a big run and right before I got into the endzone I had to stiffarm someone and my pinky finger got caught in the opponents facemask, I dove and it snapped. I had to tape it up every day and learn how to play football without using the right side of my right hand much, this made me seem very tough and the coaches loved me for that. -
Michigan Bulls Baseball
My friend and I went to a private tryout for the Bulls, he had former experience with them and i did not. We had to show the coaches our skills on hitting, pitching, and fielding. I had to play my best and be confident that I could make the team, and a couple weeks later I did. -
ACL Problems
At a football scrimmage at Lakeland I went to tackle the quarterback, running on an angle, my leg popped and I fell to the ground but still managed to get the tackle. The trainer rushed out and said I was fine, even though I heard a pop. The coaches said to ice it and that I will play soon, but I knew that I wouldnt be able to play so I had to tell them that I couldnt, this was one of the times I knew that I had to restrict myself. -
ACL Reconstructuion
I had surgery on my knee it was called ACL reconstructuion. I was kind of nervous but I trusted my surgeon since he has done a ton of these surgeries before. My life was going to be a little different because I would have more responsibilities on taking care of my knee. -
Highschool
I started my first day of highschool and I wasnt too nervous because of knowing the school from sports. I was also very excited to see my friends and be a 'Big Highschooler'. I had to know when to restrict myself and not be too goofy with my friends and hurt my knee more.
