The Way I Look at Life at 16

At the age of 16 most people consider moving from across town a huge move but not me. In the16 years that I have been alive I have lived in 36 states, yes that right 36 meaning I have only not lived in 11. Most people think that moving around so much most of been horrible but for the most I disagree. Sure now that I'm in 11th grade the thought of moving, and staring all over again scares me but I see moving around as a kid a good thing. I've seen. Learned and experienced so much about this county that most people only dream about and for that and many other reason I wouldn't of changed it for the world.

This fall I was a student athletic trainer for the football team, well all fall sports really. The part that I mostly enjoyed though would defiantly be working with the football guys. They're just a great bunch of guys who are so much fun to be around, of course there were times when I thought that it was crazy for me to be doing this, I mean walking up at 5 my last 2 weeks of summer vacation didn't sound like a good time to me until I got to know the guys and all in all it wasn't that bad. We spent 2 weeks together from 6am to 6 pm not only working hard but over all just having a great time. Then games began and the fun just seemed to continue, even though the guys didn't have the best record. The worst part of the whole thing though would defiantly have to be seeing them get hurt during games, it was just so hard to see the guys not only hurting but looking to me to "fix" them. I really did learn a lot about what I want to do with my life in the future, and had a great time doing it.

I am really looking forward to spring because my birthday is in the spring and every year for my birthday I get 3 tickets to three 76ers games! I love the 76ers game so much, well ok maybe mostly just Allen Iverson. Ever since I was about 7 my older brother has just really liked him and he passed it on to me. I love and admire that man for so much and not just his great basketball skills. The tickets to the 76ers games aren't all about just going to see my idol though its about spending time with my brother and best friend that makes it even better.
