I am a mere two years old here. I was born in Fort Worth, Texas and grew up in Arlington, Texas. We went to a church called Bethel Assembly of God in Arlington where I also went to day care and private school until
3rd grade. I enjoyed being in the choir at both church and school.

Here I am, just a little older. Boy, that hair really grew. It was really long up until about 5th grade where my mother had it all chopped off. In 4th grade I began attending Thornton Elementary, just across the street from Bethel. Public school was much different than private school, but I adjusted quickly.

So this is 9th grade. Don't laugh, you all had the big hair back then, too. I wasn't the only one with this atrocity during these years. From 7th-9th grade I attended Carter Junior High, also in Arlington. There I participated in and received honors in band playing clarinet. I really enjoyed it. I was also a part of the National Junior Honor Society.

I didn't turn out so badly, now did I? This is one of my senior pictures. I went to high school at Sam Houston High School in Arlington. Here I was in the marching band and the wind ensemble and orchestra. I won many awards and honors during high school for playing the clarinet. I was also in the National Honor Society there. High school was really fun. I had a great time with my friends and the band.
