Autobiography
Earliest Memory. My earliest memory would have to be when I was probably three or four years old. My brother had a loose tooth and wanted to get it pulled out. He got a string tied to it and then to the doorknob. He was too afraid to close the door, so I did it for him. I went over and pushed it and his tooth came flying out. He was really mad that I did that to him.
Kindergarten. Somedays, I can remember kindergarten like it was just yesterday. Which, it basically was because I am not that old. That year was my very first in school, I had never been before. What I liked most about kindergarten is that I met some of the best friends that I still have to this day.
Elementary School. I was impressed by Mr. Christopher Hayes. He was my 3rd and 4th grade teacher. What impressed me the most was just the kind of person he was. He really loved The Beatles, the whole class listened to a song each day. To this day, I can’t listen to one of their songs without thinking about him. While I was in his class, his cancer came back and he was very sick. He stopped teaching my 4th grade year. The next he passed away.
Sibling Rank Order. I am the youngest. I only have an older brother. We are five years and five days apart. I think that this affects my personality because I was the ‘baby’ I always got whatever I wanted. Except, I know that I can’t always get what I want.
Unique. I don’t feel as though that there is that much about me that is unique. One thing that I suppose is unique- my pinky fingers are slightly bent. This may seem weird. Thy are not perfectly straight like my other fingers.
Proud Parents. This may seem stupid but I think my parents we very proud that I actually got into Norwich. It wasn’t like I wasn’t able to get into college; they were just very happy about it. (They were also very proud of the scholarship that I got as well…)
Career. If I could do anything, anything that I wanted I think it would have to be a Brain Surgeon. I think that it would be the most amazing thing to be able to fix someone’s brain. Or, to be able to have all the knowledge to fix the brain. That just seems like the greatest to me.
