The MLK assassination took place in 1968 my parents weren't even born yet at the time. however this plays a big impact on myself because I'm okay had such a movement that allows everyone to be United and not be looked at differently no matter what you look like or the race that you have as well as the background you come from. this portrays who I am today because I can be with others who may not look like me speak or talk like me but we are still all human and we can all live United together.

As far as I remember I cannot tell you what was happening or going on during this time. As soon as I was born my family decided to move into the home that I currently live in now. Not just a home but a place of memories alongside my siblings, parents, family. This shaped who I am today because before my family moved into a place of opportunity and safety. We almost moved into Pontiac and what that means my life would have been completely different.

When I was young I always used to travel alongside my grandmother and cousin. This was a very special experience for myself because I always enjoyed going to the Pilot's cockpit and seeing what it was like up there. I always enjoyed looking out the window and seeing what we were flying over. This shaped what I am today, because I have a passion for Aviation and pursuing a career as an airline pilot. This has always been something I've wanted to do ever since I was young flying with my grandma.

Was re-elected in 2012 I never knew the significance back then. however looking back when I realize that Barack Obama was a motivational speaker and president at the same time he had talked in a way that everyone could relate to and everyone could understand. I specially realize this when my history teacher had talked to me about the significance about him. Personally related to this I can say that I learned how to communicate with everyone in the room and understand people's stories clearly.

I had just been young and only around 5 or 6 years old when this happened. I had not understood the full meaning of someone passing away or going to a better place what I was told when I was younger. I had no idea how to process grief. People around me were hurt and sad but I had no idea what this meant. he was young at the time but still no clue what to do or what to say. reflecting on this now where's to imagine what it would be like to go through if I was my age back then.

Kirk Franklin Revolution. because all of the songs are Christian based and all kind of relate to my music taste. Songs first introduced to me by a mean however it stuck and I've listened to it ever since. the song has introduced me into other Christian music and genres like it. I primarily listen to this on Sundays or other days when I'm struggling something and need to overcome it.

Covid-19. this was a time of pause and scared people all over the world. Personally I had not taken this seriously and just thought of it as a break from school. This happened from middle of fourth grade year and continued all the way up until the end of fifth grade. This time for me was really about being home and staying away from school although that was good for me it was not fun being away from friends and being on lockdown. This was a fixed mindset of myself and not seeing clearly.

Moving my siblings to college was an experience for me because it showed what I would eventually do one day. I haven't really missed my sister or brother mainly because I feel like I see them all the time. For example my brother is at ASU and its a great thing to experience a campus so big. This was fun but I love how my siblings taught me the ways of college. This showed me how to go about things in future years.

I had done it once when I was around 6 years old took a break and never returned until 2021. During this year I just gotten used to going down the hill and doing slight turn to the simple things. Fast forward to my ninth grade snowboard seasons and even outpaced others that used to be ahead of me. this shows that I can really do anything I put my mind too and accomplish it.

My grandfather passed away in 2022. 2015 I had actually felt pain and grief and not knowing what to do or how to stressed how I feel. I was very close to my grandfather and he will always been by my side.. he had taught me important values and lessons that I still used to current day. this was especially sad because it felt too early for him to leave especially through all the stuff he's been through. my grandfather is the strongest person and most knowledgeable human I ever knew.

I remember reading The Giver in 8th grade. this book was more than just a kid getting selected to be what they called the giver. What the giver saw was something only he could see and tell and not help with. this was significant to me because it shows how to be different and how everyone might be doing the same thing to make it feel normal or portray it as good however based off of your picture what others can't see destroys another's perspective.

This is one of my values that I hold closest to myself and one thing that I constantly try to follow and doing over and over and repetitively. when I began to read the Bible I had no idea what I was doing and what I would do for myself throughout the years of me doing this it shows and teaches me values and lessons that keeps me closer to God and that I value very seriously and keep doing this over and even talking with church friends or family about the things that I read or see.

Golf had been a sport I was just locked in to over the past two years. I picked the sport up way back to almost a decade ago never returning until 6th grade year. I had discovered that golf had not just been a sport but a source of networking. It was at determined practice just to do the simple things and improve. But this year I've been trying my hardest to improve and got my first Eagle this was a big step moving on to greater things and still practicing.
