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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A very small feat in my life, but it was a true test of being able to be diciplined and dedicated to someting.

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.

Like many extra carricular activities in my life, basketball has taught me something over the years along with providing me physcial activity.

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.

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, 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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.
