My birth
November 7th, 1997 was the day I, Samuel Sutton, was born. This is significant because it was the start of my entire life and all of my life experiences so far and in the future. -
First day of education
Even though pre-k isn't a large portion of my education it still signified getting up earlier, and going to a place where I would over many years learn valuable information and life lessons. This was one of the first steps to maturity. -
Met my best friends
My best friends or the abc's (Austin, Bryce, Conner, and Sam) in pre-k and have been friends and practically family for 9 years). Over the years we have shared so many memories I will never forget. -
Parents divorce
I don't quite remember my parents divorce, but I think that is a good thing for my mental health. This has slightyly impacted my life, but not too much in recolection. -
Saved by Christ
This was a very important time in my life so far. Being saved by Christ signified my life long relationship with God. Religion is a very powerful thing no matter your perspective, so this was most certainly a very key act in my religious personality. -
I got my black belt
A very small feat in my life, but it was a true test of being able to be diciplined and dedicated to someting. -
Dad moves to Georgia
When my dad moved away to Georiga I wasn't really sure how to react. I think my perspective of him changed in a negitive way for some reason. I think this has had an impact on my personality today. Sometimes I act more sensitivly towards people when I shouldn't because I had no male figure to raise me and my mom was the only parent. -
First day at basketball
Like many extra carricular activities in my life, basketball has taught me something over the years along with providing me physcial activity. -
First day as a student at ECS
Coming to ECS was a big change from being in elementery school. ECS had been part of my home before I was a student there, but when I went there first in sixth grade it became an even bigger part of my life. Little did I know how much ECS and its community would affect me, my life, and perspective. -
First day of percussion.
Another one of my extra carricular activities, percussion has had a major impact on my life. Percussion has taught me that through long hours of practice any task no matter how big can be conquerd. -
Bryce moves away.
Bryce, my best friend for 9 years moved away to Jonesbouro, the summer of 2011. This was very sad because we used to hang out every weekend and now I rarely ever see him. -
Diagnosed with pectus-excavatum
Pectus-excavatum is a disorder in a persons breast bones and rib bones. Some cases can be as severe as the picture shown, but in my case it was only a small case. However, this disorder does prevent me from playing sports such as football, wrestling, and long distance running it also cuts my lung capacity majorly (thus you see me yawning a lot for air). A benefit is that I can never be drafted for over sea fighting. -
Dad's second divorce and a job loss.
On this day my dad lost both his job and his second wife. The ammount of sadness he felt even trickled down to me. It also hurts now that I can't see my step family and step sisters that I've lived with and loved for nine years. -
Class trip to Tetons.
Going to the Tetons with my class has majorly impacted my relationship with my classmates in a good way. Some classmates I didn't know too well, or that were new were now allowed to bond with myself and others in a very fun creative way(s). -
Diagnosed with mild depression.
Depression, to my knowlege, hasn't affected me too many times in my life, but it still can seem to make things dificult when I randomly feel sad. -
I got a camera
Reciving this camera for Christmas has further propelled me into my interest and love for taking photos. I find photography to be a creative and fun way to take my mind away from the world and visiually be transported to somewehre peaceful and away from my life all in an instant. -
Present Day (me now)
All the events that I have been through at this point have made me who I am today. I'm not quite yet a full mature adult, but nor am I a small child who can't do anything by themselves. These many events have shaped me in many ways and influinced me and those around me. I can truly say I am a better person because of these events.
