This was the day that I was born. It was in the middle of June. My birthday is just under two years after my sister's. It is also about one and a half years before my brother's birthday. The day was June 16, 2007. -
This was the day that my my brother was born. His name is Jonathan. It was cold, being in the middle of winter. It was about three and a half years after my sister, Cassie's birthday. It was also about one and a half years after my birthday. -
This was the first time I was playing Hockey. My dad really enjoyed playing hockey, so he decided to get me to play as well. He had me learn how to skate with him, then he bought me equipment. I was then signed up to play on the Fraser Laser's. This was the first team I ever played on. -
During these years, I played hockey. I started out as a forward. Then I switched positions to defense. After two or three years, I switched to being a goalie. From there, I improved beyond what I thought I could. Going up from house hockey, to travel, then to the top end of double A hockey.

This was my first year of elementary school. During this year, I learned more about adding and subtracting. The placement tests were still on paper, which was annoying. A few new kids joined my class, some of whom are now at Northwest with me. They have become my closest friends. -
This was when I was in elementary school. During this time, I finally got past learning addition and subtraction. Multiplication and division were new problems to deal with. I started reading more, finishing several hundred page books in under a week. More kids joined my class, too, some of whom are here at Northwest.

This was my first year of middle school. I started learning the basic principles of algebra and geometry. Improving from elementary school, I was able to finish several hundred page books in a single day. I also started playing a fun videogame called Rocket League. This game is very fun and strategic, at a high enough level. -
This was when I was in middle school. During this time, I made a few new friends. I went on many vacation with my family. I kept my grades up. My hockey team won a few tournaments too.

My family went to the Soo Locks. My family went here on the way back from Pictured Rocks and Mackinaw Island. Many ships went through while we were there. One of them was a massive freighter. With that freighter, there was a small tourist boat going through the locks. -
This was when I went to pictured rocks in Northern Michigan. On this trip, my family also went to Mackinaw Island. We continued going north, into the Upper Peninsula. We went to a bear sanctuary. On the way back home, my family jumped into the frigid waters of Lake Superior. -
This was my first-year winning districts in hockey. I was playing on the Saint Clair Shore's Saints at the time. I am the goalie in the bottom right, behind the banner. This was also my first year on the Saint's. We did not do well in the State tournament afterward. -
This was my second- year winning districts in hockey. I was still on the Saint's and still a goalie. This year I played less in districts, but I was still part of the team. This was my second year on the saints. After winning districts, everything shut down because of Covid. -
My family went to Florida. We rented a massive house with my extended family. There was a screened in pool and a pond behind the house. While we were there, we went to Universal Studios and Disney World. My favorite ride was the Hulk at Universal Studios. -
This was the trip that my eighth-grade class went on. Because we could not go to Washington D.C., we went to places in southern Indiana and Northern Kentucky. -
This is when I graduated eighth grade. Through a lot of hard work, determination, and a bit of luck, I made it through the eighth grade. I graduated salutatorian of my class. Anthony Adams, who goes to Northwest, graduated valedictorian by about .2 percent. The next step in my education, highschool. -
This is when I am in high school. In highschool, there are new people that I can meet. There are harder classes that I can take. I am going to Lutheran Northwest, the same school as my sister. I am somehow in three of the same classes as my sister.

This was my first year of playing tennis. To start, I had no idea how to play tennis. I improved rapidly, but still lost my first few matches. I played the bracket of singles 4. This meant that I was the lowest level singles player on my team. This helped me to win districts my first year.

My family went to a cottage at the tip of the thumb. We went relaxed, went canoeing, and many other activities. Our extended family rents the nearby cottages, so we all spend time with each other. We swim in the lake, relax, and play videogames. Overall, it is just a great time at Sunset Beach Cottages (the name of the cottages we rent). -
After winning districts, I continued into regionals. My team had a few practices before the tournament, but the time arrived. After a tough, 3-hour match, I was knocked out first round. A few of my teammates made it further though. One senior, Devin (who goes to Northwest) made it to the finals of singles 2. Sadly, he was knocked out because of a leg cramp that left him barely able to walk off of the court. -
This is when I begin to learn one of the most useful skills of being an adult. This skill is driving. The classes are long and boring. They take up 2 hours of my day for three weeks. I need to complete 6 drives in order to graduate the class. Then, I need to pass a road test.
