It starts with my birth on August 5 2001 then the birth of my brother on December 15 2002 growing up as the older brother forced me to learn responsibility faster. As I grew up I found an interest in sports most especially baseball and bowling. Through baseball I have made lots of friends and played in all kinds of places. Bowling has enabled me to earn thousands of dollars in scholarship money to any college! I also found an interest in history I began reading lots of books on wars and famous people. I then began going to world war reenactments I have found a passion in law and history and has inspired my life goal to become a police officer.I have tried many new things at my school such as builders club when I joined builders club it allowed me to give back to my school and the community. Religion is a big part of my life through my church I can pursue community service such as coat drives and toy sales.This is some of my history that makes me me!
