Growing Up in Jersey

---

Growing up: One of the earliest memories I have of New Jersey is driving around in the back seat of this old green car. There was a hole in the floor of the back seat and my cousin and I would throw stuff through the hole in the back as we were driving along. After we did our dirty work, we would turn around real fast and look out the back window to see the stuff we threw out. Ha

The Wrong Path

---

Life is a journey. When your focused on all the wrong things it is easy to choose the wrong path on your journey and get lost. Whether or not you chose one wrong path or multiple wrong paths on your journey doesn't matter because in the end your still lost.

For me the journey has been rough but that was mostly all self induced. Once I was finally ready I decided not to be lost anymore; and I started paying attention. I have found out that the best part about life is the journey.

9-11-2001

Everyone remembers that day and everyone remembers where they were when they first found out that our nation was under attack. I was in school and they told us we were under attack over the announcement system. A TV was wheeled in the room shortly thereafter and I saw the towers drop live on TV. Later that day I was transported to Chesapeake Virginia so that I could petition the court to take the GED as a minor. In a way, I have been pursuing knowledge ever since.
