The First Sixteen Years of my Life

Before I put up my latest three YouTube videos I have uploaded today, I am going to write to you about my first sixteen years of my life. 

I was born at White County Memorial Hospital in Monticello, Indiana.  I was a very shy baby and child.  I did not fully learn how to really interact with people the way anyone should until I was sixteen.  I never had a girlfriend because of my poor interest with people.  On the flip side, I was more interested in academics.  I learned how to write when I was twelve months, and I learned every single U.S. capital in first grade. 

Eventually, I was taking the most challenging courses for my age, and I was doing really well in them, especially since I was thirteen.

Then, it was June 15, 2007.  I went with Mr. Waymouth, Sam Smith, and Phillip Wertz to Delphi to practice driving for the final time before the final drive test.  I said to Sam when he could not find a hazard, “Keep your eyes moving.”  Then, I heard Mr. Waymouth told me to be quiet.  It was the last time before I turned sixteen that I was outside White County, Indiana.  Next, I took the drive test, and thanks to at least three major mistakes, I earned a dismissal C+.  I was crying and throwing tree limbs outside.  I was ready to celebrate my birthday and forget what happened that day.

However, it turned out to be a day to remember.  I do not earn C+’s or worse very often.  Then, the day after I turned sixteen, my father and I left White County, Indiana for McAlester, Oklahoma.  That’s right!  Not only did I left White County for the first time since the disrupted comment, I left the Hoosier State for the first time since August 2005.  Later that week, there was something that made me want to wish I had.
