16th birthday

Wow the year has really done me well despite the usual fears and pains of High School Hell. Growing taller than my Dad, Poppop and Uncle Grant im even starting to tower over my Nana and even my Aunts! Braces and glasses finally left behind its been so long since I was able to read far without them all the time. Digging into my books with A's on my mind is better than always following my goofy friends like blind leading the blind. Although blocking an opponents knee with my head in goal aint very smart it showed my team and coach that im determined to win in my heart. So happy birthday to me, once a kid, now a young man im so thankful for the people who support me for who i am and what I stand.
