I'm 21 looking forward to learning and living my life to the fullest.

Always loved playing sports. Parents divorced when I was 6, not a bad divorce though. As I grew I realized my dad was very insecure and not very confident. This made me feel as if I really had no father figure. My mom was strong and was a fan of tough love. Through highschool I dated a girl for about 3 years and loved her to death. Highschool was fun. I was very cocky and confident at this point in my life. I went to CMU with my 3 friends. Me and my girlfriend, who also went there ended up breaking up. It wasn't a bad breakup but things got ugly later on. I developed a social anxiety while attending and was unable to click with very many people. I ended up leaving and coming home. After about a month of being home my dad just picked up and left out west. He took the buyout at Ford and left me, my mom, and my brother. He figured he was on his own at 18 so me and my brother didn't need him any more. Not long after that I got in a horrible car accident and broke my neck in 3 places. I wasn't paralyzed but I was laid up for 6 months and had to wear a halo for half of the time. I was a passenger. Soon after this happened my dad found out he was diagnosed with ALS. This is a muscle degenerative disease that slowly eats away your muscles. Average life expectancy is 3 years. This forced him to come home. My anxiety's only worsened after all this happened. I never got prescribed anything or drank more than the regular kid. I was pretty depressed and wondered why life had made such a violent turn for the worse ever since I got out of highschool. My dad is now living with his friend Dawn and I visit him occasionally but feel bad I can't always be with him.

I am working as a realtor, heading to Northwood in the fall. Utilizing my TOOLS for the rest of my life!
