Where im from

I am from
The lake of Nagawicka which i moved too when i was two,
Where I learned to fish, hunt, and waterski.
On other days we sat on shore enjoying a big bonfire,
with marshmellows over the fire.
And in the winter it was sledding down our big hill,
betting money on who could make it farther onto the ice

There was a never a time my dad didnt have a saying,
whether it was 6 in the morning and he would say its never too early to ski!
Or, only ten more casts then go in for dinner, but it was actually 30

There was always something to do where i lived,
whether it was me and caity having a snowball fight,
whether it was pushing each other off the water tube,
whether it was me and my dad for the prettier duck or bigger goose hunting,
Or it was a family tradition too see who could launch a water balloon farther over the trees,
There was always a competition or mischief in the end.

I am from the bright white house with a green roof,
with the huge hill to sled down,
with the oldest ski nautique on our side of the lake,
And the house everyone stopped at to say hi to my dad when

Family and friends were my main important things
And everyone had the nickname for me Cul
Everyones main hobbies and mine were
waterskiing,
fishing,
hunting,
and fixing things to avoid buying new things 24/7

The things I are
dislike the mukky lake water
i like the sandbars
i dislike stepping in goose poop
i liked watching my dog hunt the geese

I tried just about every sport when i was little,
there was hockey, baseball, basketball, football,
And in the end i loved baseball and still play today

I am from
The family of the outdoors,
where living on the lake was almost everyday
where going on long walks in the wood was relaxtion,
Or even watch one of dogs work a field for birds like it was watching our favorite movie

There was 3 main big moments in my life,
One was getting getting my first truck of course,
Two was graduation of gradeschool,
And three was going undefeated in baseball

I had hard time in middleschool,
Bullying, depression, and bad grades.
But after i graduated and moved on to highschool,
i have met the perfect friends to hang out with,
i have better grades,
and i am doing better than i ever thought i would.
i actually learned to aprecitate what i went through in grade school,
because of what i went through, it taught me to be strong and confident
