[edit] Autobiography of my Past
I was born on August 7, 1992, in Atlanta, GA. My family lived in Alpharetta at the time I was born, only to find that my family would move to Danville, CA less than a year later. I've spent my early years living there, and those years would forever change my life. It was when I was around 4 years old I had started to discover my passion for video games, and to this day I still remain a gamer.
Then again, things were not so bright, either. One day I ate a large amount of Corn Nuts. I woke up in the middle of that night to discover I had immense pain in the chest. I immediately ran to my parents room to tell them about this. When I told them what was wrong, my mom and dad immediately grabbed some clothes, threw me into the car, and rushed off to the local hospital. Apparently some emergency surgery was necessary: my appendix needed to be removed, or I was going to die, if not suffer serious heart injuries. And before I knew it, anesthesia was applied to me.
Thankfully, the surgery was a success. The next thing I knew I was lying down in a crib, with my parents glad to see I'm OK after all this. I remember I started crying, as I hadn't any clue what was going on. My parents told me not to worry about it anymore, and that everything was going to be OK. So I went back to sleep, as I was very exhausted. The next day I took a look around my room. A few feet from my crib was a small TV displaying some Cinnamon Toast Crunch commercial, attached to it was an external speaker which was in my crib. The crib was located in the middle of the room, and on the wall was this big, red button used to alert the staff I had flat lined. My mom told me a story not too long ago regarding that: despite the fact that the button was high up and my crib made it out of reach, I somehow managed to push it, and a few nurses came rushing to my room, panicking. Quite the funny story, to be honest.
I also recalled another day where I was moved into a regular bed. My family gave me a Game Boy as a "get-well-soon" gift, along with the game Super Mario Land. I absolutely loved the game, and I played it all the time until I was eventually released back to my parents.
When I was getting near my 6th birthday, my family had taken me out of the last day of kindergarten one day, and for some reason everyone was saying goodbye to me in particular. I never really understood just what was going on until my family had moved back to the East Coast, in a town called Mahwah, NJ. My family had to live in an apartment for about 1-2 months before we had finally found a house to live in. During this time I had learned much more about video games, specializing in the N64. In addition, I also started to take an interest in computers and some computer games.
When we finally finished moving in, I discovered I was to share a room yet again with my older brother. I've been doing so ever since I stopped sleeping with my parents. Eventually my younger brother would come to join us about 2 years later, and so began life on the cul-de-sac. I would soon start to go to school again, as a 1st grader, in an elementary school called St. Paul Interparochial School. I had spent all of my elementary years being taught there, with the exception of the last 2-3 months of 6th grade.
It was during this time I had started to recognize the vacations that my family took. Around my year as a 3rd grader, my father purchased a beach house in Long Beach Island for vacationing reasons from a guy named Harry. His basement was divided into two sections: one for storage and the other for typical housing reasons. Later we ended up restoring the old place and combining the two sections to one. The storage area was later to be renamed "Harry's Locker", where we would keep our video games and a large TV. At first, we were generally dissatisfied with the house, so we decided to have it torn down and to rebuild a new one in its place. This took approximately a year as our contractor took his dear, sweet time doing it(also gave the builders the wrong blueprints >_<), but it was worth it. The house was twice as big as it was before and we all had enough space to finally have rooms to ourselves, not to mention the additions we had added. It drew much attention as well as some unwelcome attention. Shortly after things finished up, the neighbors were ticked off. They claimed the new house "ruined the neighborhood", and were ready to sue us. But after we defended ourselves stating the house was grandfathered, they backed off, knowing they would lose the case.
About 2 years later my father bought the family a bigger house back up in North Jersey as an anniversary gift to our mother. We moved in shortly and lived there for about a year. As of my 6th grade year, my father had gotten a promotion, which required us to move back to Georgia in Roswell this time. Generally, our family did not approve of it, mainly being because of the many friends we have made while living up there as well as the fact we stayed there for about 6-7 years. We had eventually gotten over it over time and the only thing we now regret leaving behind is that house.
When we settled in, we've had a bit of a problem regarding schools. My mother had planned to move us to Queen of Angels Catholic School, however they only had room for my older brother. In the meantime my younger sister, younger brother and I had to go to a public school. I finished up 6th grade in Crabapple Middle School. Thankfully the following year QoA had room for all of us, so we moved there.
My experience there wasn't exactly the best. The administration did not take a liking to me(reasons still unknown). With that on my mind I've had trouble in school, nearly failing 7th grade. I managed to pull it together in the end and passed, and I developed a fairly great reputation among my peers there. In 7th grade, I had also joined St. Peter Chanel's basketball team. This was the first time I was ever on a serious basketball team. I wasn't exactly great at it when I first started off, but diligence and discipline pushed me beyond my limit, leading to me scoring at least 1/3 of the score each game as the end of the season came close. As 8th grade continued on, I further expanded upon my basketball techniques, but I didn't let my grades get in the way of it, so over time I had lost my mastery in it.
During my 8th grade year I had retaken up on what was my long-dormant study in computers. This included techniques on increasing my WPM, how the Windows operating system worked, parts of the computer, and other stuff like that. Most recently I've demonstrated that by customizing my computer to have a Vista look to it, yet it still runs on the Windows XP system. This was done entirely by modifying a few system files and replacing a ton of icons. As mentioned earlier I still played basketball, however I did not have as much experience. Since I had greatly focused on my grades I finished 8th grade with all As and Bs, with the exception of only one C in my grades.
It was then I had started attending high school. My freshman year was spent at a Catholic high school under the name of Blessed Trinity Catholic High School. In my time as a freshman, I had spent it mainly getting used to BT and changing my academic ways, as well as attempting to develop the best reputation I could(despite the fact that my older brother was completely trashing it by being himself), meaning for the first time in a few years I had no extracurricular activities whatsoever. In my first semester, I had slacked off, but had picked up the pace in 2nd semester, pulling out with all As and Bs.
