1. I was born in Toledo Ohio to a single mother who was only in high school. She put me up for
adoption and I was adopted by a newly wedded couple. I was then brought to Bexley Ohio. I was raised
in Bexley. When I got into kindergarten I joined a soccer and baseball team.
When I was in the 4th
grade I was diagnosed with ADHD and Dyslexia. When finding out about that I got
a personal tutor to help me with my dyslexia.
Then when I reached 7th
grade I stopped the tutoring. I then had my Bar Mitzah, started playing
tennis, started tie kon do and quit playing soccer. I made the baseball team and I was excited. Quickly I
realized how much being on the team sucked. The only time we played baseball was during our games.
Our practices were all workouts and running drills. The coaches hired a man who was In the navy seals
to whip us into condition and stay in condition. After that year I quit baseball.
My freshman year in high school I quit playing tennis as well as tie kon do and started doing
Mauy Thai. I also started doing aggressive skating and skateboarding though I was never good at it.
My sophomore year I quit playing tennis and in the summer I became a counselor at a campwhere there
I helped kids with special needs.
MY junior year I worked my ass off in school. During the winter I went to Colorado to visit my
cousin and we went skiing on the mountains for 3 lovely days. When it finally became summer I was
excited. The day school was let out I had to go right to the airport where I was going to be going to Israel
for two amazing weeks! When I went there my life changed. I loved the friendly culture, all the food that
was there, the history and all the activities that there was to do!

2. On my senior year I was praising the lord that I made it this far and that I was almost done with
high school and was ready to go to college. When I chose Marshall all of my friends got mad at me since
I wouldn’t be near them. They still haven’t gotten over it yet but that is their faults.
