[edit] Biography
[edit] Early Childhood (1990-1995)
Born on February 21, 1990 at Silver Cross Hospital in Joliet, Illinois. I was born in the morning at roughly around 8:00-ish or 9:00-ish. Lived in a townhouse in Bolingbrook.
In 1993 (when I was three), we got a puppy! He was black and small (of course...he was a puppy), and we named him "Shadow". He was a mixed-breed...as for what breed(s); I am not sure. 1994 saw the start of Preschool. I went to Little Lambs Preschool in Bolingbrook, IL. In 1995, I went to Kindergarten at Independence Elementary School.
[edit] Grade School (1996-2001
I also went there for 1st grade, until Christmas of 1996. In June of 1995, my little brother was born. Around Thanksgiving of 1996, we moved into our newly built 3-floor (basement, 1st (main) floor, 2nd floor -- 4-floor house if you include the attic) house in Plainfield. After the Winter Break of the 96-97 schoolyear, I transferred schools.
I finished my 1st grade schoolyear at Wesmere Elementary School in Plainfield School District 202. From 1997 until (early) 2001, I went to Lakewood Falls Elementary (it was not open during 96-97 when I went to 1st grade) for 2nd - 5th grade.
[edit] Middle School (2001-2004)
The 2001-2002 schoolyear was my first year in Middle School, and thus, it was the first time that I had a locker and my classes were located in different classrooms. Sixth grade was also the grade I was in on the tragic day that 3000+ people lost their lives due to an act of terrorism by members of Osama Bin Laden's Al Qaeda / Taliban terrorist network. I was sitting, watching TV in my Social Studies/Language Arts class (can't remember which one, because both classes were taught in the same classroom by the same teacher), when the second plane hit the Second (South) Tower of the World Trade Center (WTC2).
[edit] September 11th, 2001 Attacks & my thoughts
At the time, I didn't understand the significance and what terrorism was. But, after I heard on the news for many, many weeks after the 9/11 (September 11th attacks, I was able to piece together information, and figure it out. I was angry at the terrorists for attacking America (and Freedom), I was sad for the 3000+ people that died, and I wanted to kill all terrorists on the face of the planet.
I was also in a state of shock. Before the attacks, I hardly ever thought of anything outside of the area where I lived; but after the attacks, I realized that my hometown isn't the only part of the US; there's a much bigger area out there. I also didn't think (before the attacks) that something happening in another part of the country would affect me; I was wrong. It made me realize that the people I know are not the only people in America, that, even though it happened ~1000 miles from where I live, it still affects me, because I am American and the attack was not focused at NY (or DC); it was focused at the entire country. So, yes...it did affect me emotionally and psychologically. But, it did the same to everyone in the country...and almost everyone in the whole world.
[edit] Middle School (cont.)
I finished Sixth Grade and went to 7th grade for the 02-03 schoolyear. During that schoolyear, I received an A on my 7th grade Science Fair project ("Does Monocular vision and Binocular vision affect (video) Gameplay"). Also, I was part of the stagecrew for the school play. ("Annie Jr.") I created a website for the schoolplay: http://www.geocities.com/it_p2003/2002.html .
In eight grade, I remained part of the stagecrew for the school play - it was "Into the Woods". It was sad to finish 8th grade and leave Middle School, as it meant that I was leaving the best Science teacher ever (my science teacher for 7th & 8th grade) (name withheld for privacy/security reasons). I also received an 'A' on my 8th grade Science Fair project ("Does the type of surface affect the bounce of a Ping-Pong ball").
[edit] High School
[edit] 9th grade
I started 9th grade at Plainfield Central High School for the 2004-2005 school year. I had the best teacher for Math (name being withheld for privacy/security reasons). She was great. I used a pen during Math, that I got from Walt Disney World from the summer..it was wooden, and carved and colored to look like a giraffe. Well...She saw a wooden pen at a store, and it made her think of me -- because I used/had a wooden pen -- and she bought it for me (it was a frog on a 'log' -the log was the outside part of where the ink container for the pen was at. The frog was at the top. The rest of the year was great. I passed my FINAL EXAMS.
During the 2005 Summer Vacation, we took a family trip to the Grand Canyon. We flew from Chicago Midway to Las Vegas (via Southwest Airlines). The day after we arrived at Vegas was spent driving to Flagstaff, Arizona (a 200-something mile journey), in a Ford Taurus that was rented via Hertz). We spent the night in Flagstaff and the next day we visited the nearby Lowell Observatory. After spending time at the Observatory, we drove Northward to visit Sunset Crater National Park (extinct volcano). There was lots of ash on the ground and solid chunks of lava.
[edit] 10th grade
My 10th grade year was great. It was a little tougher than 9th grade, and therefore my grades did suffer a tad bit. But, in the end I 'pretty much' "aced" my FINALs (not sure if "Aced" is the correct word), and I passed. I will miss some of my teachers, but, hopefully I will at least see some of them in the hallway next year. During the last...I want to say 6-9 weeks of the schoolyear, I used my Study Hall time to help the ladies in the Attendance Office as well as the Deans in the Attendance Officer, by taking hall passes and delivering them to the students that they were 'addressed' to. Sometimes it was bad (i.e. a pass to the Dean's office), other times it was just a pass to give the student permission to leave class at 'such and such' time, to get signed out (whether for doctor appointment, or whatever personal reasons -- since they are personal reasons..the reasons were not stated on the pass..I respect that).
Currently, it is summer vacation.
From July 20, 2006 until August 1, 2006 (5:30am CST) we will be taking a family vacation to Hawaii.
