Birthday
This is the day I was born. -
First Memory
I am unsure of the date but this is my best guess. My earliest memory is lying in my room listening to Mozart. I believe that this has contributed to my liking of the violin. -
New York
This was the first time I watched a New York Giants game. I now watch the Giants reguarly with my entire family. My family loves New York teams for all the sports we watch. -
Connor
This is my brother's birthday. We are very close and we share similar interests. For example, we both like math and sports. -
Reading
This was the day I first read an entire book on my own. This motivated my intense love of reading. Currrently, I typically read two books per day, if I have enough time. I love to read almost any type of book and I will re-read books all the time. -
Yankees
I went to my first Yankees game. My cousins, who are almost twenty years older than me, took me to see the Yankees play the Orioles. The pictures from that day are still hanging up in my room, even though most of the players in the pictures have retired or they don't play for the Yankees anymore. I got to with my cousins to anoher game seven years later. -
Superbowl
The Giants won the Superbowl this year. This was the first time my brother had watche more than five consecutive minutes of a football game. Now, we watch the Giants together every season. -
World Series
The Yankees won the final game of the World Series on November fouth. That was a really fun moment to share with my family. We all stayed up to watch the final game. It was even nicer that the Yankees beat the Phillies. -
Shoulder Injury
While practicing tennis over the summer I gave myself tendonitis in my shoulder. I did not realize I had a serious problem until after a month of pain, so it was to late to let my shoulder rest. I still played for the high school team that year but I couldn't play to the best of my ability. I had to miss many practices and a few games. I did rehab all winter to get my shoulder back into shape. Now I know I am stronger than ever. -
Varsity
I played my first varsity game for the high school tennis team. I had gotten moved up to fifth doubles, so my game still didn't count for the match. It was still really exciting, especially because my partner and I won. That game showed me my hard work was beginning to pay off.
