Baptism
I was baptized on October 10, 2010. I was baptized at Cross of Glory Lutheran Church at approximately 10:00 a.m. My parents were obviously there, along with both sets of grandparents, my aunt and uncle, and my two cousins. It was at this moment that I was made a Child of God. I was baptized with water and His Word. -
Start of Preschool
I started preschool at Cross of Glory Lutheran, Washington Twp. I would attend there through 8th grade. My grandparents dropped me off at school that day. This is about the earliest thing I can remember. I remember as soon as I entered the classroom I started crying. -

Trip to Dallas
My parents and I went to Dallas, Texas to watch a Michigan State football game. MSU was going against Alabama in the College Football Playoff. They lost 38-0, but the overall trip was fun. We got to do some tourist activities like going to the Texas School Book Depository where Lee Harvey Oswald shot John F. Kennedy. I also got to play a game of air hockey against Sparty, which I lost. We also went to the Dallas World Aquarium and saw a lot of flamingos -
First Piano Lesson
My first piano lesson was on September 6, 2016. I was in first grade. I took piano lessons through my school. It wasn't an official class, so my teacher would just pull me out of class every Tuesday for a 30-minute lesson. I took lessons with that teacher until 7th grade, when she retired and I started taking lessons at the Rochester Conservatory of Music. I've been taking them there ever since. -

Family Reunion in Indiana
My dad's side of our family had a family reunion at a campsite in Howe, Indiana -
First Basketball Game
The first basketball game I played in was on January 12, 2019. If I remember correctly, we lost on a buzzer-beater 4-3. I scored 2 points. I played most if not all of the game. This was the case for most of my basketball career prior to this year. -
Last Day of 8th Grade
My last day of 8th grade was on May 30, 2024. I was very excited to finish up as I was the only boy in my 8th grade class. There were only four 8th graders in my class, and we had one teacher teaching us every subject. It was not very pleasant, and I was very eager to be done. -
First Day of High School
I started school at Lutheran Northwest on August 21, 2024. I wasn't very nervous outwardly, but I was freaking out on the inside. Luckily, I already had a few solid friends. -
First Football Game
The first football game that I actually played in was on September 12, 2024, against Bishop Foley High School. We tied 18-18. I played most of the defensive snaps and a couple offensive snaps. It was about 80 degrees and the Foley's turf field is horrible quality. I remember I got my first tackle and felt like I was on top of the world, even though the guy dragged me for about five yards first.
