My Multimedia Memoir

  • Met first girlfriend

    Met first girlfriend
    My first girlfriend was a long distance girlfriend. I met her playing a video game over the internet. We had great chemistry and communicated over the phone often. Looking back on it now, it's sort of embarrassing, but it happened so I'm going to have to live with it.
  • Performed Green Day song for an audience by myself

    Performed Green Day song for an audience by myself
    In 7th grade during summer vacation I played the closing song for a local band's set. The venue was a campground, and it was all set up by people (no companies or anything--just people getting together). The song I performed was "Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)".

    Played guitar during breaks at school

    Starting sometime in 2011 and ending around June of 2012 I brought my acoustic guitar to school nearly every day to play during breaks. I was probably annoying for the people that didn't want to hear music. I went to school with one other friend who played guitar at the time. We had fun jamming together during lunch.
  • I perform as Jesus in Passion Play

    I perform as Jesus in Passion Play
    At the school I went to at the time, St. Chris, a requirement for 8th graders was performing in the school's Passion Play. Despite being shy around other people, I decided to try being the main role in the performance, and it actually went well.
  • Play as lead guitar in band with friends

    Play as lead guitar in band with friends
    Some friends I met in high school and I started a rock band. We wrote and recorded a few songs and also learned a few songs from other artists so we could play them together. This band lasted for about 1 year.
  • Begin exercising for health

    Begin exercising for health
    Since I was depressed and gaining weight I needed to do something to make myself happier and bring myself down to a healthy BMI. Exercise is proven to be one of the most effective treatments for depression, and, when used along with dieting, an effective way of burning fat. I've been exercising on and off for the past decade but I've been exercising nearly every day for the past two years now. I walk and ride stationary bikes.
  • Started OYA

    Started OYA
    After a couple years of working on my mental health and a couple months of preparation, I've returned to high school through OYA.
  • Period: to

    Graduate from OYA

    I plan on graduating high school through OYA. Though I was cautious at first, after a couple weeks of being in the curriculum I feel more comfortable with it. I'm confident I can graduate.
  • Period: to

    Start career/first job

    I'm grateful that I haven't been forced to work yet, but I do plan on working either during college or after college. I will strive for a job that has a decent salary so I can live comfortably and support my mom and our pets. I'm thinking of working in the tech field. My passion for music is returning so that may be an option as well.
