I am the oldest kid in my family, the lightest, and probably the smartest as well. I have always been pretty smart. In kindergarten I was supposed to wear glasses. I didn't because I was teased about my glasses which ticked me off even though I didn't know it. What made me the most mad about the getting teased about my glasses was there was a girl in my class who also had glasses. So I didn't end up wearing glasses until 1st or 2nd grade. My first grade teacher didn't like me at all because I always had to go to the bathroom and I would miss class. My second grade teacher was a lot nicer and I learned more there. By the time I got to third grade I began too realize that my class was so slow because I was so smart and that is when I started becoming a tinkerer. The kid who teased me about my glasses ended up being a little afraid of me because I was taller than him. In fourth grade I entered the gate program and learned some Italian from the gate teacher Mr. Petrelli. I was never the most liked or popular I kind of hung back and did what my friends did which during recess was always soccer. I'm not good at soccer at all I could kick it hard but I couldn't aim it. I moved in fourth grade to old river and at first I was sad because I missed my friends, but then I realized they weren't really my friends because they betrayed my trust. So at old river I got much better friends who I could actually trust and was so happy I moved. I gained friends through basketball because I am a really good three point shooter and blocker. I also gained friends through football because I have a good grip and I am a really good defender. Once, I was playing with the sixth graders and a pass got blocked and I picked it up right before it hit the grouund and got my team the ball back all my teammates were saying good job and I was happy. Then in sixth grade by now I have struck fear into most people who played basketball hearts. I became one of the favorite picks going third or fourth. My three point shot faded but I was still a really good and feared defender. I joined my schools football team and we went 4-1 and lost in the playoffs. I joined my schools basketball team as well and we went 4-1 and got to the semifinals and lost. After basketball I was still playing basketball at school. One day I jumped up really high to block a shot and as I came down I landed on the side of my foot. I couldn't walk on my foot so my friends helped me to the office. The people in the office said I would be fine, but I didn't think I was fine so I called my grandma and asked to pick me up. After my mom got off work she came to get me from my grandmas house and take me to urgent care. I had an X-ray done and as it turns out I had fractured my foot. I was sad because I would be in a boot until the day of my sixth grade roller skating party. So that summer I started swimming for a swim team and met two of my swim friends whose names were Megan and Nick. Nick was my age but easy faster and Megan was my younger sisters age and faster than her as well. After swim team was over I started football again. School was coming and I was entering junior high. Throughout all my school career I had only gotten one B on my report card in 2nd quarter sixth grade math. So I figured I wouldn't have to try too hard to get all A's. I was wrong in first quarter I got a B in science and it made me so mad. So in science I paid more attention and got all A's the rest of the year. My football team went 5-6 and lost in the playoffs. In January I got Minecraft and started playing with my friends Logan and josh. Then I met kaih, Ivan, and Cameron. Then swim team started in May, but I didn't start until June. I found out kaih was on the swim team. He swam in the class after me. I swam from 6:30-7:30 and kaih swam from 7:30-8:30 I think or 6-7 and 7-8.
