Hello everyone. My name is Thomas Hansen but as all my classmates know by now, everyone calls me by nickname TJ. I have been called TJ since the day I was born and it looks as though it will remain that way forever. The nickname is because I am a Jr, hence the initials TJ. I am from Oceanside, New York located in Long Island and graduated from Oceanside High School in June 2012. I am a kid who simply stated, enjoys life. I live by the idea that you can’t change your past so no matter what happens, just accept it and move on. I love my friends and family and enjoy doing whatever. I try to experience everything possible in life and do not want to grow old with millions of regrets of my childhood. The pictures in my slideshow show a few of the people who have influenced and impacted me the most in my life to make me the person I am today.
Both the second and tenth pictures show me and my dad together. One was taken on the day of my graduation and the other was after my communion. My dad is my best friend and is the one person that I can count on to do anything for me. He is as cool as any of my friends and when I was a kid, I swear my friends liked him more than me. He is the closest person in my life and is the most reliable person as well.
For the most part, the rest of the pictures are my friends and I. Specifically the sixth picture which shows for the most part the whole group of us the last day of high school. I love my friends as much as many members of my family and my friends are the reason I am who I am today. Whether it is playing sports, partying or simply just watching T.V. my friends and I can make a joke out of anything and can take the most boring days funny by being together. I am never bored when I am with them and no matter how I’m feeling that day, just being with them and I’ll forget whatever it is that is bothering me. I miss high school more than anything; the light workload, zero responsibilities, and endless nights of going out and not worrying about the outcome of what we were doing. I would give up anything to be able to go back and relive high school again however I am ready to experience college at Baruch and hopefully make friendships like the ones I had in high school.
