My birth
The day I was born was April 13th 2002. My mother was in labor for 11 hours before I was born and I was 7.62 lbs and took my first breath at 11:26 pm. My sister came into the room and the first thing she said was "ohhhhhhh he's so cute!" but I really wasn't. I was born in New York Presbyterian Allen Hospital in New York city. My sister and I were both born in the same room with the help of the same nurse. I was born naturally and not via a C-Section. My life then started in New York city. -
First Amusment park
I went Bush Gardens when I was young it was the first time I had taken a vacation to an amusement park and I was super excited to go on the rides. This is where I formed a love for every single type of ride that there is, spinning rides, rollercoasters, and drop rides soon became one of my favorite thing as a child. -
Pre-school Graduation
My pre school was in saint James church in Brewster New York. The preschool program had to floors and many interesting activities and they had fun stuff. The most memorable being play dough. We also used to sit at these really long tables and cover the whole table with a mate and then play with play dough. Gaby Aurjo still a friend of mine sliced my eyebrow because I wouldn't share my play dough. I made a lot of good friends there and moved onto kindergarten happy knowing I had friends. -
First Time at the beach
My first big family vacation was to North Carolina. We went to the outer banks and got a big house to fit 3 families of 4 and my two grandparents. There were my cousins Megan and Patrick who are both older than me. Also along for the trip was my two younger cousins Tyler and Dylan who at the time were still babies. This trip was my first experience with the ocean and I went walking in the sand every morning with my grandma to get seashells. The seashells that we collected she still has today. -
First time to Intrepid
The Intrepid is an old warship in New York city. It is docked on the Hudson and is open to tours and open to walk around on after you by an entrance ticket. When I was 7 we went to the Intrepid with our neighbors/friends the Borsaris. There were 5 kids in order from oldest to youngest Julia Borsari, Grace my sister, Sarah Borsari, Me, and Jason Borsari. We went in November so it was cold and on the river it was windy and we were all in jackets, but even with the weather it was still fun. -
Going to the Zoo
I love animals. This all started when I went to the Bronx Zoo and saw all these amazing animals that I might not have gotten to see up close. The zoo sparked my interest in big cats, bears, apes, birds, reptiles, and fish. This interest would not go away as I still am contemplating doing some form of animal work in my future. The zoo gave me a cool place to explore and a safe first experience with a lot of these animals. Also, I just look like a stud in this picture so I had to put it in. -
Having a pool
This was the first year that we had a pool. I had learned to swim in our local lake and we went every summer until my parents invested in a swimming pool. The pool was awesome and even though we couldn't do crazy jumps and dives we still had a ton of fun in the pool. My favorite part about owning a pool was the fact that I could cool off in the summer any time I wanted to. My hatred for the heat was cooled when we had a pool because of how easy it was to cool off in the heat. -
Getting Rockband 2 for Wii
This Christmas I got Rock band 2. The premise of the game is to play a song by hitting/ strumming the correct things according to what is on the screen. The game really influenced my taste in music and it also brought me and my dad together as a band duo. That was really cool because in those days I didn't see my dad that much due to his work schedule I would rarely see him and when I did we didn't talk much but Rock band changed that. The best part about it was that I felt like a Rockstar. -
Getting my Scooter
My Razor scooter was my big gift that Christmas and it was a gift that I won't soon forget. I got a blue razor scooter the ones that are made of metal and has the razor logo down the center of it. It was my favorite thing it taught me not to mess around on roads and it also taught me what real pain. The worst part about it was getting hit in the ankle with the scooter, no doubt in my mind that is the worse pain in the world. The best part was that it was fun and relatively safe. -
My GrandFathers Death
This is by far the hardest event to talk about on this list. His life affected me immensely it pushed me to join ROTC and read books. He helped me learn how to fish and he helped me learn to love nature. When he passed away I found out a lot about his home life and some of his hobbies. He always loved beer and wine, So as a tradition I decided to start making beer and wine as a way to pay homage to him and his life. Every batch I make is to pay respect to him and when others enjoy it he smiles.
