------------------------------------------
My life has been exciting from the very beginning. I was born at 8:01pm on a snowy friday night in February of 82'. An hour after I was born doctor's found that I had a diaphragmatic hernia, which is basically a hole in the diaphragm. I was then flown to Chicago's Children's Hospital for surgery. The trip took about twenty minutes to get there. A little while longer I was in surgery. It took me about thirty days to recover. I was the sickest baby to live from Children's Hospital prior to 1982. The funny thing about my birth is that my dad has the same birth date and he was born at 8:02pm, but 32 years before!
When I was four I was on Chicago's channel 7 television and in I in Children's magazine because of my traumatic birth. I've been on TV a couple of other times for different events over the years. It hasn't been a boring life for me. I've only lived in two houses and I don't even remember the move, because it was back in 1984. I live currently an hour north from downtown Chicago right near the Wisconsin border and Milwaukee is only forty-five minutes away. I live in the little town of Beach Park; population 10,000. This area has alot to offer if you like sightseeing or shopping and of course we have lots of activities in the summer that go on by Lake Michigan. The world's third and four biggest malls are only a short drive from here. The population of the area in a radius of sixty miles is probably around 16 million and it shows it to. I'm only twenty-five minutes away from the College of Lake County, which is were I'm attending. Let me say
it's twenty-five minutes at best, it depends on traffic
and the weather.
I have a very wide range of interests which are
depicted in the Hobbies and interests page. The
major that I'm going to college right now for is
Meteorology. College of Lake County doesn't offer
it but for right now I'm just taking the basic's.
In the last 18 years I've traveled to 37 states and
Ontario, Canada. I've been in three different schools
and now CLC. I got my first car in January of 2000 and I've put on 13,000 miles as of March 5th about. It's a 97' black Chevy Blazer with tan leather interior. I wasn't expecting that for a first car, believe me! My parents are really cool.
My parents have let me have all kinds of pets over the years. Some animals we bought, some were free, and other were just wild animals that liked us and hung around the house. I love all animals and people that know me well, will say I'm not afraid of any animal, including snakes! Thing's are always changing around here, so expect updates here more often than not.
