My first word was ball, and coming from a family where me and all my brothers played multiple sports, this is not uncommon!

The first book i ever remember reading all by myself was green eggs and ham when i was in kindergarten.

In the second grade i was not aloud to write in cursive because i did not have my cursive license yet. I remembered this really bothered me because i had already learned how to write in cursive but my teacher didn't give me my "license" yet.

I used to read to my little brother every night even though my reading wasn't the best and i miss pronounced a lot of the words.

As i learned how to read and write my dad would always correct me the second i said anything in correctly. He would always say "im not correcting you, im helping you".

In the 4th grade we made our own books and got them "published". This was the corner stone of my imagination and creativity starting to blossom.

In 5th grade i was introduced to computer language, such as how to type and how to make sense of what i was seeing on the actual computer screen.

In 7th grade we started to dissect books and read them more so for their meaning rather than just reading the words.

In 7th grade for my birthday i got my first phone and was exposed to this new "Texting" Language that is so crazily popular today.

I am putting this on hear because learning to drive was similar to learning Spanish, its like learning another language with all the street signs, how to park..etc And being able to associate different color and shaped signs with the corresponding meanings.

My freshman year of high school i took a Spanish 1 class, and learned a new language. At the time this was the hardest class i had ever taken and the language barrier really pushed me.

My freshman year of college i was really pushed to make my writing stronger and better to develop professional level writting skills.
