Packed My Parachute


Six people that have packed my parachute in the past would have to be my mom, dad, aunt, sister, grandma, and brother, but out of all those, it's probably been my mom who's done the majority of my parachute packing. She's always been set on teaching, giving, and doing the best for me, and I have many memories to back up this statement, but I'll share one. When I was about 10 years old we had to put down my favorite dog who we had had since I was 5. My mom went against my dad's word and left that same day and didn't get back until sometime around midnight. I was like where in the world have you been? She didn't say anything just walked to the back of the car, opened the door, and picked up a fat little black lab. She handed him to me and I was laughing and crying at the same time. So I'd have to say my mom definately deserves the title as my best "parachute packer."

Expectations of My Senior Year


When I was in Elementary, and would think about when I was going to be a senior, it was a totally different thought than what I have now. I would think that it would be super hard and that I'd be a giant man like my dad and be working non stop on school work, and working on our farm. Well now that it's here it's not all that bad. I'm just going to make sure I keep my grades really high and do the best I can in the sports I play. So if I do all this I expect that my senior year will be great.
