Physical Development
On January 28, 1994, I wrapped my umbilical cord around my neck. They pulled in some newbie air force doctor that had my mom open, me out, and my mom closed up in under three minutes. I was very lucky to be alive. I was 6 lbs 12 oz when I was born. I have almond shaped Carmel eyes, dark brown almost black hair, and skin a sun kissed tan. I look very different from both my mother and my father. My mother is very light skinned with millions of splatter freckles. She had brown hair and brown eyes. My father, on the other hand, is very dark skinned with black hair and brown eyes. I am the black sheep of the family. I have always been darker than my mother's side, but lighter on my father's side.
As I grew into adolescence I became more tough and strong. It gave me many male friends. I may have been small for my age, but I could make anyone who wanted to mess with me quake in their shoes. I didn't really like sports, but I enjoyed physical activity. I loved to run and jump. My favorite game to play in P.E. was dodge ball. I lived in a crack neighborhood, but I had many friends that I hung out and played with. I was very adventurous and also lazy. Strange I know. I loved video games a whole lot though. I stayed inside many times to play Resident Evil and many other odd games like that.
In my family we were told to be who you are. We always stressed that you are who you want to be. We mixed Bob Marley and our own little twist. "Be who you love, Love who you be." To this day I follow this quote and I believe it has made me a pretty good person. I'm not huge and I'm not just skin and bones. I am skinny, yes, but not because of the worlds view of beauty. I always try to be who I am and I won't give up on myself. I am small in stature, but that is because I am Japanese. I am also fit and scary.
