  • Broken Leg

    This event was the first break in my life of many breaks that i suffered from in my life. I was 4 years old when this happened. My sister and I thought it would be fun to jump off my moms bed into a pile of pillows on the floor. One time i jumped really high and missed the pillows and my leg had broke. I was screaming so loud and i could not walk. My mom carried me in the car and we went off to the hospital. They told me that i had broken my Tibia and that i needed to be casted for a few weeks.
  • First Football Game

    First Football Game
    When I was in 2nd grade I had told my parents that i wanted to play tackle football for our school. But right before football had started i broke my arm and i was unable to sign up and play football that year. When 3rd grade came around i was healthy and able to sign up to play my first year of football for brewster. I was very excited to play. I got the number 39, but every year after that i was 23. Our first game was against yorktown and i was a running back and got the ball a bunch of times.

    Knocked My Front Tooth Out
    Today I got my cast off my arm, and 3 hours later..... YUP this happened. U was playing football with my friend ryan at his house on a nice summer day. We were being a little rough and playing tackle football. I went to push him and i tripped over a pretty big rock and i hit my mouth on his BBQ grill. It knocked my whole tooth out, but luckily no damage was done to my face. My friends dad put my tooth in milk because that helps save a tooth and i went to the hospital.
  • Got My Rope Swing

    Got My Rope Swing
    i live on the lake and my dad and uncle put up our rope swing. Me and my sister wanted to jump off, but we were both pretty scared about jumping off of the swing. We put our bathing suits on and went down by the swing. I stood on this huge rock down by the lake with the swing in my hands ready to go. I jumped off the rock and i swung over the water and i jumped in and made a big splash. It was such a great feeling hitting the water and doing it over again.
  • Dyed My Hair Pink

    Dyed My Hair Pink
    It was October and I decided to dye my hair for breast cancer awareness. I wanted to show my support but wanted to do a little more than just wearing the pink socks. My moms best friend owns a hair salon place and she took me there to get my hair dyed. I went there and got my hair dyed hot pink. It was bleached into my hair so it took about two months to come out, but i did not care because i was just showing my support for women who suffer from breast cancer.

We learned about the history of the park and how it came to be. It was a good trip with my family and we celebrated my mom at a nice restaurant.

    My first year as a varsity player started out good. My primary position is a running back and secondary as a safety, I played a lot more defense than offense this year.

During the season I was named player of the week but the big award camed at our end of the season dinner.My coaches gave a speech about me and presented this award to me.
