    football
    My step-dad was a football coach for many years and asked me if i wanted to play. My step-brother also played so i said yes to try it out. My step-dad was my coach and I played defensive tackle. I was on the smaller side back then and one of the youngest on the team but i wasn't afraid to hit and be hit by anyone any size. I had a nickname on the team, Captain Insano because I jumped onto the biggest guy on the team like double my size and clung onto him trying to take him down.

    The day after my mom and step-day got married we went on a familymoon to Riviera Maya, Mexico. We stayed in a big resort. My favorite part about it was the wild cats that were always around and i loved playing with them whenever i could. We went snorkeling, zip lining over the ocean and went to see the Mayan ruins. We went swimming with dolphins and even got to kiss one. I got to get a massage on the beach.

    first job
    My first job was at Thunder Ridge Ski Area. I worked in the kitchen Department. I had the wonderful job of cleaning up after people who couldnt do that themselves.I had to restock the fridges and just other simple things like that. It wasnt a hard job at all and my boss was super super nice. I enjoyed working there when i did my coworkers were also fun to be around. I got to enjoy a nice discount and free food while i was working. All around it was a good time and a nice experience
