Abhi's+Random+Autobiography

Going on the monkey bars in pre-school, already feeling the blisters develop. Then running in our classroom sitting criss-cross-apple-sauce. The sandbox was truly my favorite part but I hated the feeling of sand in my shoes, a thousand bugs biting at my feet.

The Padres was my T-Ball team. Everyone was afraid of Coach Dan—he looked like a bouncer with his shaved blonde hair. The uniforms smelled like vanilla forcing us to ask our parents for ice cream after practice.

Then my best friend, Kevin, moved to Maryland, I thought he would see the President every day. His dad made the best macaroni and cheese; I also ate my first hot dog with him. But I never understood why Kevin was fascinated by Marines. We still pretended to throw grenades though I was always the one to explode in a show of blood and guts.

My family and I went to San Francisco ten years ago. Driving down Lombard Street I thought I was going to die. My mom must have been crazy to make those hairpin turns. But now I wish I could do it again.

Now I’m in middle school. Five more years until we go our separate ways… then off to college, where I discover what I truly enjoy. Then I work until I am 50.

Who knows? I might have a million dollar idea which comes to me at 3am. Then life would be easy as I relax in my beach house, not having a thing to worry about.
