My Aunt Linda and Uncle Mike, and their college kids Chase and Nick. Then, there was my Aunt Lee, and her daughter Meredith.

At the end of my sophomore year I decided to apply for Ambassadors for my Junior year. It’s a program at Poudre that goes into Freshman classes and teaches them about topics they usually won’t cover in normal school curriculum. I decided to join the program because I did a very similar program called WEB you could do in 8th grade where we went into the 6th grade classrooms and did the same thing. I was really happy when I got accepted into this leadership program because I had so much fun doing WEB. At the begging of the next year Ambassadors goes on a retreat together up in the mountains where we really start to bond together.

Run of Glory Ever since I was seven years old my best friend, Quinn Parker, and I wanted to play basketball for Downsby High School, the number one high school basketball team in America. We would train every day, no matter rain or shine, just so we could see the names Evan Johnson and Quinn Parker on the Downsby starting line-up. We played basketball together with the same team, and the same coach, at the same place. It’s basically my second home where I go to see my second family. Our family was very religious.

Sledding is remarkably fun in the winter, when you are careful. Cold, wet, and beautiful white snow, blankets small hills in my home of Indiana in the shivering December-February months. But venturesome cardboard sledding, in California at anytime of the year, is loads more fun in my experience. I was 9 years old, and my elder sister and I flew out to the west coast into a busy suburban city near the Golden Gate Bridge to see our relatives on our mother’s side. As you may know of, California is known for their golden rolling hills of tall tan grass and hovering-over-homes redwood trees.

Soon I was a regular at all of the meetings and events that had to do with Launch. At the beginning of the next year it was time to begin preparing for the annual T.I. Camp, which everyone, including me, was excited about! After attending T.I. Camp as a participant for two years I decided to send in an application for youth staff, which

The water droplet patterns symbolises nature thought water. I chose to include this in my portrait as water was a big part of my childhood in various ways. Every year my family would take time off and rent out a house at Sellicks Beach to be close to the water and go out boogie boarding.

Water is also significant to me because every time my sister and I would go to our cousin’s house we had a clown outdoor water sprinkler and we would run around it all day having the time of our lives.

My other grandma, although not around often, I know she supports me as much as she can and always follows all of my action through my dad and Facebook. Next, I’d like to thank my cousin Jasmine, Aunt Donna and Uncle Danny, for always giving me a place to go to and some great people to always talk to. Next, I’d like to thank my best friends, Katlynn, Hugo, Robbie, Devin and Kaylee. You five are the bestest friends anyone could ever ask for and I couldn’t have been more blessed than to spend 12 plus years with you all. We’ve all had so many great memories together and I don’t think it’ll be easy finding friends in college that mean as much to me as you all.
