Though not very unique in general terms, it is for me. I was born on April 13th, 2003. I was born 2 or 3 months early in einstein hospital and so had underdeveloped lungs. I almost died through suffocation. I was lucky that the doctors took quick action and did emergency surgery on my lungs and I was in an incubation room for quite a while. My mom still tells me of the times where she had to pick me up with the gloves that the machine held. I had to deal with asthma for a lot of my childhood.

I suffered from asthma for the majority of my life, with it only ending in maybe 6th grade? I had this machine I had to use which I must sit on with a mask on my face every single day for about half an hour. It was honestly super difficult. It didn't help that my gym teachers in elementary school/middle school didn't believe me that I had asthma, and so I was always embarrassed being so slow and coughing so much after a game or something.

PS 83 was the first public school I went to in the Bronx. it went from k-8 and then 8-12I lived in a decent area next to my grandparents (love you pop pop) and my best friend was a kid named Claude and Aaron. Claude was the 'cool' kid of the school and I really idolized him, and so we would play freeze-tag and such and I once bought him one of those double icicle pops but his friends didn't like me much and accused me of licking both sides which was pretty upsetting.

Back when I was much younger, I did a very dumb thing, in which in the park across the street from where I lived, the water works were on because it was summer, and I decided to try and climb a metal ladder with wet crocs. I fell and cracked my skin open right above my eye, it bled really bad and my neighbor drove me to the emergency room where that had to glue it back together. It was too close to do stitches so they GLUED IT! This scar is still slightly visible but most people can't see it.

This was the day I moved from Morris Park in the Bronx to New Rochelle. I wasn't very happy about it but my family was (or so I thought) it turns out my parents weren't having it together and used this as an excuse to live apart for a while. My dad would take the old house whilst I'd be in the new apartment. This apartment wasn't really big and I had to sleep with my dad when we eventually fully moved. My school was pretty good and I made 2 good friends. Kyle and an obscure name I can't remember
-
After only a year of living in New Rochelle, I was to move again. This time to Brewster itself. I was pretty upset about this move because me and Kyle got SUPER close but I couldn't really stop it. We moved into the biggest house I've ever been inside of and also spent like the first week without a mattress. But we did barbecue a heck ton. I got my own room (which was bigger than my sisters HAHA) and was pretty happy (and still am) about it. The house needed some work though.

On the afternoon of Halloween in 8th grade I was running in recess to catch up with my friends and caught my food in this really small pothole and fell. I did not think much about it, and tried to get up when I realized I literally can't put any weight on it at all. I tried again and it hurt so badly putting pressure on it I groaned. I had to be wheeled out to my dads car on a wheel chair and we went to the ER. They couldn't find anything wrong and just let me go and it just kind fo healed.

In Mrs. Starrs's math class my good friend Arlind Rama did not do his homework so I as the legend I am provided the answers to him He did not give it back to me at the end of lunch, causing him to give me my work back during the math class. The teacher obviously saw and questioned us individually. BUT. WITH OUR CONNECTED BRAINS WE MADE THE SAME EXCUSE. The excuse was of course that I left my worksheet in the lunchroom and he got it for me, and it was possibly the greatest save ever in my opinion

The friends I've made here are my best friends now. My first friend EVER was David Ayodele Alade. We talked all period of the first class of me being in Brewster and it actually got me moved out of my seat. Other friends I made are Matt Gerhung, Nico Kusterer, and Lucas Lutar. Even though we aren't all the same friend group, I'm still friends with all of them and I love em, and now I have even more I can say that of. Arlind Rama, Jake Crocker, Devin Becker, Kaylow De silva, All the best people.

My entrance into APUSH was probably my biggest academic success. Being someone who is ridiculously lazy (as you'll see from the turn in time on this) I was pretty happy about myself. I always enjoyed history and I was excited to enter APUSH.. until I began to receive the work. Oh my gosh it was absolutely crazy. Hours of work due in 2 days and oh man it was difficult. I'm very happy its basically over at this point and in hindsight, the class wasn't really that bad, just lots of work.

Literally two days ago my father suddenly fainted and fell on the floor and woke back up from the fall. This was.. really bad. This had never happened before and my dad is the main provider of the household. He was super pale and felt something was wrong and it was basically 11 pm at this point. My sister rushed home after I called her and we brought him into the ER. They couldn't find anything wrong and I sat in the car until 4 am waiting for him, hoping he was okay.
