But it was a stupid kid’s dumb dream. And it’s what influenced me wanting to be in the entertainment industry. Something that’s still stuck with me today, but rather than staying as a singer, I’ve moved on to a more traditional type of music. I also use to roleplay with toys a lot. I would come up with elaborate stories for them. I didn’t just make them fight all the time and bash them together. I gave them character and depth. I’m no hack when it comes to my toys. Oh, and I puked on my first day of school, so you can laugh at that. One of the first major things that truly affected my life was when I got a GameBoy Advanced. At first I hated it, because I thought that video games were for nerds. Especially Pokemon, which is exactly the video game that I got. Let me set the scene. So this happened at Christmas time during my first time in first grade. At this point, I was failing first grade and had absolutely no idea what that meant. And now, I lived in school.

In high school, no matter how much I wanted to quit band, no matter how hard it got or how much I sucked, I wouldn’t quit. And I’ve kept that promise. I was absolutely terrible starting off my Freshman year. And I continued to be terrible through Sophomore year too. Freshman year was the Queen show. And my favorite of the four that we’ve done. At this point, I was on trombone. And I guess Mejia wasn’t expecting me to be in band, because he didn’t actually have a spot for me to march in the opener. Eventually he threw something together and I was in. Marching was the most physical activity I have ever done in my life. But, luckily it’s very rewarding. When we went to play at the ULM contest, that’s the most exhilarating I’ve ever felt in my life. On one of the last sets, was a company front. Basically it’s where everyone stood in and straight line and guided inwards, rather than to the
