 My first best friend was my neighbor same who lived across the street from me. From when I was born to the age of 10 Sam lived next door to me and we were together most days after school and on the weekend. When I was little I enjoyed to play with the Thomas the Train toys and so did he. If we weren't in my basement playing with the trains we were in his playing with trains. It was always a fun activity to do. I was never a very athletic person so it was nice to have someone to play with who didn't always want to play sports, because I am not athletic in the slightest. When I was 10 years old Sam and his family moved off of my street. They didn't move vert far away but it made a difference to us. It seemed very weird to not play trains or to see him every day. After a while we started to hang out again and it was pretty cool. To this day we are still friends. We aren't as close as we were when we were little but we are still friends. 

 I started my education at a small catholic school called St. Catherine's. In my class starting from kindergarten all the way until 5 grade there was only 3 of us. So when I had to go to a public school it was a big change for me. My favorite part of school was when we got to learn about history. I greatly enjoyed going to school when I was little. Another thing I loved about school was when I got to go to library. I loved this because my grandma was the librarian.  When I was little I spent a lot of time with my friends and family. My family is extremely close so I always was with them. Most people in my family went to St. Catherine's to school so the school is kind of important to me as well as my family. After I got through 5th grade I went to St. Joes in Wright until I was in 8th grade. I really enjoyed my 3 years in that school. It was nice to see more kids my age around me as well as get to see friends I wasn't normally able to see because I went to a different school...
