In the five events that are explained in the next paragraphs, I can always look back on the these moments and remember every moment of it and how it's gotten me who I am today.

Christmas Eve at my Grandparents House
For as long as I can remember my family spends Christmas Eve at my grandparents house down the street from my house. From 6pm to about 11pm the house booms with laughs, smiles, and Christmas music. Year after the next I don't have a worse Christmas Eve spent with my family. Christmas Eve at my grandparents house has shaped me to be happy with the things I have in life. It shaped me to be thankful for the family I have and not get as mad when things don't go my way sometimes. -
Going to Chicago Autoshow Black Tie Event
Since I was a young boy I went to downtown Chicago to go to a black tie event for one of the most popular auto shows in the world. As my father is an auto dealer we have the opportunity to get in for free and have a great time every year as a family. At the event I was and still am required to dress nice, greet all my fathers friends, and behave with cars everywhere. Going to the auto show every year has shaped me to be a more behaved, dress nicer, and aqquire better manners with adults. -
Road Trips with my Father
Since 2010 when my father and I have gone on road trips for travel baseball tourenments. During these roadtrips my father and I always have great conversations, bonding moments, and memories that I will never forget. Almost every baseball game I've played in my life,my father has been there to see me succeed and fail. My father and I going on road trips shaped me to be more knowledgable, mature, and responsible. -
Selling Baseball Cards
When I was 10 years old I was obsessed with collecting sports cards and sports autographs. Then I would go on Ebay, look up the cards I got and see if they were worth money. Buying and selling sports cards on my own shaped me to know what supply and demand was like, when to know when to not buy something, and beginner marketing skills. I was shaped to be more of a smart spender with my money. Learning this skill carried on into me selling collectible shoes for hundreds of dollars in highschool. -
Winning Soccer State Championship
This past November I was a starting center defender for the Libertyville varsity soccer team. During the time we were in the playoffs every single gamed we played could be our last game. Therefore the farther we got into the playoffs the more pressure built up in my stomach. Winning every game and stopping every shot up tp the championship game shaped me to be able to perform under pressure.
