School- Did I ever get beat up? No, I never got beat up in school, in my school it was more of watching other people fight. There was a fight just about every other day, so I got to enjoy that instead. Did I come out of my shell a particular year? Yes I would say I came out of my shell at the end of my sophomore year. I didn’t really hang out with a lot of friends freshman and sophomore year, until a group of kids (future friends) asked me to hang out with them a couple times, then they became my good friends and have been ever since.

Work- What was my first job? My first job was a bagger at Market Basket. I eventually got promoted to Assistant Head Cashier, and have been working there for three and a half years. Did I like or dislike it? I absolutely despised working there, although the money is nice, so it’s hard to quit.

 

Social Life- Did I have a lot of friends? Yes I had a lot of friends in high school, it was hard to hang out with them all the time because I’d always be with one group and the other group never really got along with each other. Was I ever asked to drink or try drugs? Yes I was asked to drink, and yes I tried it, and yes its funAnd yes I was asked to try drugs but I refused because I know the consequences of what they do to you, and the consequences of what kind of trouble you can get in. My first time driving a car was with my dad in the community college parking lot in my town. That day was one of the best days of my life, and I absolutely love driving now.

 

Family Life- Did we take family vacations? Yes we took so many family vacations its hard to keep track of where we have been. First off, the White Mountains was a favorite to our family, my dad being a hiker it was hard not to like it. We have been going up there every summer and winter since I was 8 weeks old. It’s my favorite place in the world. We have also taken trips to: Maine, Canada (Cape Breton, Nova Scotia), Pennsylvania, Ohio, Washington D.C.,Baltimore, New York (Lake George area, and New York City), Toronto Canada. On weekends we would usually go to a cookout, or a family birthday party. I come from a pretty big family, so there’s always a holiday or birthday to celebrate.
