Favorite Foods: Mac and Cheese, mashed potatoes, pad see ew, alfredo spaghetti, cup noodle, goldfish, pringles, welch's fruit snacks, popeye's spicy chicken sandwich.
 
Favorite TV Shows/Movies:  Black Clover, One Piece
 
What I want to be/do when I grow up:  ???
  
Things I did when I was 16: Made JV Basketball, went with my Dad to purchase a Jeep in Dillsburg, PA, learned how to drive stick in 5 days so I could drive it when I got my license, got my driver's license, made the JV lacrosse team (no season because of COVID), had school cancelled from March 11-end of the year (schoolwork was optional, just had to do my work for AP Calc), took Wednesday night walks with Mom and Beausef to the creek so he could play and then tubbied him, made my first Tik Tok with my family, took the AP AB Calc test and got a 4, became certified to be a lifeguard, got into my first accident, became a lifeguard and Pool Operator for Premier Aquatics - lifeguarded at Kincaid Forest and River Creek, drove Dad's motorcycle in the parking lot at Cool Spring, took Shrimpy on a family camping trip, took a boat tour of Penn's Cave, bought an iPhone 11, did DL for first semester of 11th grade, attended virtual info session about Virginia Tech, took SAT's for the first time. 

Why my Mamsif loves me:  Because you are great to be around, are easy-going, love your dog (have him sleep with you every night, take him out every afternoon during the week, only roll your eyes minimally when I ask you to walk him on a Patrice at night), are funny, a riot to listen to when you're playing Xbox with friends, conquered driving a manual stick shift in 5 days, did a great job lifeguarding at our pool and River Creek this summer so that our pool could open (and your little sister could swim there almost every day), are super smart, you have a big heart (see the pic where Joey wanted to hold your hand while walking at Gram's funeral) and give great hugs! I love you Jackie Boy!!!  You are our favoritest boy in the whole wide world!!!
