Many people have asked me, “What do you want to do when you’re older?” and I’ve been telling them the same answer since I was 5, “I want to be a race car driver.” Some people have encouraged me, others have laughed and I don’t blame them. How many people who want to become astronauts, have actually became astronauts? While it is extremely hard to become a professional race car driver and bloody expensive as well, there’s no harm in trying. I have almost everything I need to start. All I need is the opportunity and work on my skill.

My mom raised me around cars because she thought all boys liked cars and I guess she really hit it with me. She took me to the auto show every year since I was 3 until I was old enough to go with friends. She bought tons of Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars and I loved them. After I got my license I drove whenever I could and where ever I could. I ended up getting a couple of tickets and pretty much wrecked my first car. If a cop or state trooper ever pulls you over, stay calm and if they’re doing something wrong, you can always record them and report them later. Also don’t keep stuff lying around inside your car so it won’t give the cops an excuse to search your car.

I’ve never really like stuff with two wheels. It’s probably because at the end of the 5^th grade, I fell while riding my scooter and fractured my wrist. I know it sounds pathetic and it was but after that, my parents kept me away from anything with two wheels until I was old enough to make my own decisions.

I’m not really scared of anything or would have it prevent me from doing something that I would normally do. For example, if I survived a plane crash, it won’t prevent me from getting on a plane later on because the chances of being in two plane crashes is just absurd. I’m not very good at making examples or explaining myself but you should get my point. If there’s one thing that makes me uncomfortable, it’s heights. It isn’t the dying that scares me but the falling or tumbling down the stairs is what bothers me. There are other small things that bother me but at most, I’ll nope myself out of there.
