I will always look up to her; she has everything figured out right now. She is buying a house and all of the kids are spoiled with everything they have ever wanted. I want my life to be as good at hers in the future. What amazes me even more is, she has everything and she is only 21. I want to be able to have my life figured out at a young age, and not be struggling, like she did. Most memorable moment: Most people know I laugh a lot and sometimes I can’t help it. During one of the JV girls’ basketball games in Forsan, it was me and Gracie Corral helping on the bench. We saw some of the girls doing funny things and we were laughing a lot and we ended up laughing during the whole game. After the game, Coach Cooper told me I couldn’t help the JV girls when Gracie is helping because we were laughing too much. So, what I am saying is I was kicked off the bench for laughing to much. Future plans: I want to be in the Army for a long time; then, try to become a police officer. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? In 10 years, I will be in the Army still planning when I want to leave, then on my way to becoming a police officer.
