I am from Friends
having a blast riding rides at amusement parks
going on class trips that brought us close together
sharing fun memories we’ll never forget

I am from Sports
learning to play baseball from my Dad at age five
playing coed soccer for my school for two consecutive years
having a blast in Men’s Volleyball with all of my friends

I am from Performing
doing my first musical when I was seven
performing in my first professional theater show the summer of 2007
getting a lead role at the Muny in “The Sound of Music”

I am from St. John
learning new things every day
making strong friendships that will last a lifetime
going to school there for 9 years

I am from Pain
having my dad lose his job three times in two years
going through a surgery to remove a tumor in my back
falling time and time again and learning to stand strong

I am from Life
