I've been playing soccer for a long time, almost 9 years! I've played mostly rec soccer, but I've played a little bit of select soccer too. I plan on trying out for the Eastlake Soccer team throughout high school.

I joined Y-Guides which stands for youth guides. It is a program where young boys can do fun environmental events like rock climbing and fishing with their dads. This impacted me a lot environmentally in the sense that I learned to respect nature and how to preserve it.

My grandparents have shaped who I am in a lot of ways, through sports and school, but also spiritually and philosophically.

In the 4th grade, I had to change elementary schools from Christa McAuliffe Elementary to Rachel Carson. This had a large impact on my social health because I had to leave all of my old friends behind and start fresh in a school full of kids I didn't know. I think that it has made me a more socially healthy person because after the change, I knew many more people than I would have if I hadn't of switched schools.

I really started to notice the influence my parents had on me when I changed elementary schools from Christa McAuliffe Elementary to Rachel Carson Elementary. They supported me through the change both academically and personally.

At about this time, I started to run with my mom. We began first with small 2 or 3 mile runs and eventually built our way up to 6 or 7 mile runs. I still run today, both competitively and for fun.

One of my teachers at Inglewood Middle School, Mrs. Rusk, really influenced me to become a much better person. She influenced how I treated people and completed changed my behavior around them in a positive way.

I started to play guitar in 2010 when my dad got an electric guitar for Christmas. I learned to play and I play occasionally as a hobby. I'm not very good, but I can play a few songs alright.

An event that shaped me socially was being a Natural Helper at Inglewood Middle School. It taught me new ways to maintain healthy relationships and I met several new people during the training that I still am friends with today.

One event that shaped me was when I joined the Eastlake cross-country team. Joining the XC team has increased the rate I exercise by about 3 times. It also encouraged me to eat a lot healthier so that could run faster.
-
I think that attending Eastlake has impacted me environmentally because I have started to surround myself with different kinds of people that are healthier for me and my well-being. This event has made me change my mind about the kind of people I want to be around and have as good friends.

One of my goals is to graduate college. I want to graduate so that I have a higher chance of getting a good job and be successful in my chosen career.
-
I would like to own my house by the time I'm 25 years old. I think that having a house is a good investment, because obviously it provides shelter and a private place to live. I also have this goal because it is a good measure of where I am financially.

One of my goals is to get married. I think that marriage is important in a healthy life and I want to start a family when I'm older.
