Well there is not much I can really say about that other than, I was there! I am the third child born to my parents. I have an older brother Jack and an older sister, Callie. My parents didn't know if they were having a boy or a girl so I guess i was a surprise. I was born at 9:16 am and weighed 7 lbs 12 oz. I was born at Northern Westchester Hospital Center in Mt. Kisco, NY. They didn't have my named picked out when I was born but my mom looked at me and said Hi, Cooper!

I went on my first trip to Disney World. My grandparents took the whole family around Thanksgiving and I happened to have my 3rd birthday at Disney. We went to Epcot and had my birthday lunch at this restaurant with Chip & Dale and it rotated the whole time while we were eating. I didn't like the Chip & Dale characters at first but eventually I got used to them and I wasn't afraid of them after they came to our table and wished me happy birthday.

We got our cat Duncan when I was 5 years old. He is now 13 years old. We got to pick him out from about 6 other kittens. Me, my brother and sister went to pick him out. We all agreed right away about Duncan and we got to pick another kitten as well. I found out though that I was allergic to him for years and that made me sad cause I loved to pet him and chill with him but than I would get all sneezy and watery eyes but as I have grown I am now less allergic to him. Duncan is the best cat.

I started playing team sports in 3rd grade. I started in the fall with football and then in the spring I played lacrosse. I loved playing sports and being on a team. Most of my friends played on these teams too. Lacrosse was in the spring that year. I like both sports and played a lot but I love lacrosse more. I have a lot of good memories playing football and lacrosse. I also got hurt a ton too. I got a few concussions as well as some breaks and sprains. That's sports!

We had been asking our parents for years to get a dog. Everybody else had one and we live in a neighborhood where everyone has at least one or 2 dogs. Well we finally decided to rescue a dog. Brodie was the last one left from his litter. His name was "Kris" but since that was my mom's name we decided to change it and he became our Brodie. He is a great dog and follows me and my friends around. He has liver disease and we almost lost him so it makes me love him that much more.

I broke my collarbone at Thunder Ridge in January of my 8th grade. I was snowboarding with Jack McKee and Ryan Ruh and I had just did a shifty into a barrel and then I did a nose tap and wiped out. I slammed down on my right shoulder. I didn't think I did anything at first and I snowboarded down the rest of the run. When I got to the bottom I didn't feel good and asked Jack to feel it. He said it felt mushy and then I passed out. It was such a bad break I needed surgery. That was horrible

Getting cut from the modified lacrosse team was the most terrible thing that had happened to me up to this point. I had been playing since 3rd grade and was on an elite travel team and was told I could play at college level yet I was cut from the team. It devastated me. I absolutely love playing lacrosse. I still played that year on the travel team but I had really wanted to play with my school friends on the school team. Everyone was just as surprised as me that I didn't make it.

I passed my driver's test on the first try and got my driver's license. I was feeling pretty confident that I would pass. My mom and dad let me drive all the time when I had my permit. But when the day came to take my test I was a little less confident. It was raining and I just wanted to remember to do everything right. I had "the good lady" for the test. Getting your license is the best feeling. You feel like you aren't a little kid anymore. Freedom!

My first car was a Honda Civic hybrid. It wasn't what I would have picked but it was wheels and so I was out the door! I didn't like the hybrid symbol on the back, so I took it off. It was a good car and I did a lot of delivering pizza and picking up my friends and cruising around. But I had another smaller accident and because the nose of the car was so low this one was totaled as well. I was the 3rd car in an accident because the first person stopped suddenly. No more hybrid.

I got my first job 5 days after I got my driver's license. I delivery pizza. I was so nervous on my first day. I had been there before because a friend worked there but now it was me working there and I had to get to know everyone. I was nervous to deliver my first few deliveries but then I got the hang of it and got to know the other workers. I now love my job and the people I work with. It is a fun place to work and I get to drive around and work outside sort of.

I had a very scary and bad car accident on the night of January 24, 2020. I was driving on Route 7 near the BMW dealership in Ridgefield, CT. It was the scariest moment of my life. I actually thought I was going to die. I was going really fast and a white truck went through a red light and didn't make it through in time and I hit it. I could not stop in time. I am so lucky that I made it out alive, the car was badly totaled. The police said he was surprised that I walked away too.

Now I have a 2007 Honda Civic. It is red. I am more careful now driving. I like this car and I have been doing little things to upgrade it. I still use it for deliveries so I am in it a lot. Being in those 2 accidents has really made me think more as I am driving and trying to be more careful. I still drive a little too fast but I am slowing down more and catch myself when I start going too fast. I just finished upgrading my muffler system so I want this car to last.
