  • The Advanced, Multi-Touch Touchscreen

    The Advanced, Multi-Touch Touchscreen
    The touchscreen is such a big thing in today's world. Pretty much everybody has a touchscreen of some sort, in the form of a smartphone, laptop, car, or many other things. Certain technological inventions would be non-existent if it wasn't for the touchscreen.
    The touchscreen really caught on when the IPhone released, but was originally developed commercially by FingerWorks, which was eventually bought by Apple.

  • I was Born

    This is the day I was born.
  • YouTube

    YouTube
    YouTube was a great thing invented in my life. It is a huge source of entertainment for me. I have wasted so many hours on YouTube watching all different sorts of videos. YouTube is a great platform for people to pursue their dreams of making their ideas a reality.
    YouTube was initially released in February of 2005 but this was the beta build. The actual release came in December of 2005.

  • Nintendo Wii

    Nintendo Wii
    The Wii was a huge video game console back in its time. There were 650,000 Wiis sold in the first week of its release and there have been 101 million Wiis sold throughout its lifetime.
    The Wii was my childhood. I played on the Wii so much when I was younger. I played games from Mario Galaxy to Wii Sports and so much more. I still play some old games on an old Wii U that I have.

  • The IPhone

    The IPhone
    I have an IPhone and I use it daily. It is such a big thing in my life that I use for entertainment, communication and much more. This invention played an influential role in society. It was the first smartphone to really take off. In today's society, everybody has a smartphone of some kind, and I would say IPhone is the most widely owned smartphone.

  • I start attending IMO

    I start attending IMO
    This is when I started attending IMO. It was known then as Montessori of Winter Garden Charter School. I have gone here all my life, from kindergarten all the way until now. This school has provided me with such a safe and great learning environment.
  • First Pet

    First Pet
    On this day I got my first pet. She is a cat and her name is Callie. She is a pretty calico cat. She is still with us today. She can be a bit of a pest sometimes, as she will come and wake me up during the night, but she is a great cat. Her favorite toy is the string and it's very entertaining to watch her swat and chase it.
  • The Beginning of Baseball

    I start playing baseball. Baseball is my biggest passion. I still remember this season like it was yesterday. I played on the Colorado Rockies and we won the championship that year. I made some great friends on that team and throughout my years in that league I had some great coaches and teammates.
  • Orlando Babe Ruth

    Orlando Babe Ruth
    Ocoee Little League was starting to no longer be fun. The league kept getting smaller and smaller because the management and coaching was not the greatest. I decided to switch to another league called Orlando Babe Ruth. This is also when I started playing travel ball. I have also met some great friends in this league and I still play in it to date.
  • Neuralink

    Neuralink
    Neuralink is a device that is currently being worked on by Elon Musk. It's a chip that will get inserted into your brain and it can cure many things, from blindness, to paralysis and more. It can even help prevent things such as heart attacks and strokes. The chip transmits neural signals that alter the body. It will work with Bluetooth so you could control certain aspects of it from your phone. You would be able to control your phone, keyboard, and mouse just by thinking about it.
