To start off, the first thing that formed who I am today are my parents. They created me, they are the reason for my existence, and they are why I am who I am. My father has taught me so much about life and how to go about it. He's influenced how I think about life and what I do with time. Without my father I would not have the athleticism, the intelligence, and the wisdom I contain today. He is a great contribution to who I am. My mother gave me sensitivity and love and guided me to be a sweat and caring man. She taught me the right and wrongs of how to act around all kinds of people. My mom has given me my personality and as well as my father made me who I am. Another life experience or characteristic that formed who I am today is sports. Soccer, football, basketball, baseball, track, lacrosse, and many more have made me who I am. Sports has taught me to work hard in life and how great it feels to experience success and accomplish things. I always push myself and do my best in sports and make sure I am the best. I have learned to never give up on anything and always give it a shot. No regrets. The next thing to shape me is probably my friends. They are always there for me and lead me the right ways. Anytime I am feeling down I can rely on them to cheer me up, which in turn has showed me what I need to do for others if they are down. My peers have pushed me to do my best, they taught me how to laugh and have a good time which I think everyone should experience all the time. Honestly, happiness, laughter, and love is the greatest part of life and what makes it worth living. Friends bring that and I wouldn't be me without them. I have friends here in York, but I also have friends in Connecticut where I lived for half of my life. Moving here to PA has formed me as a person. The change form CT to PA taught me that nothing lasts forever and change is going to happen. Nothing stays the same and nothing is always there. That has showed me not to take things for granted. Always cherish moments in life, especially the little things. These factors have made me who I am today, and shaped me into the loving, hard working, athletic, wise, young male I am.

How old were you when you moved? Do you still keep in touch with people in CT? You give great insight about nothing lasting forever. -Mrs. Sands

Eli Kinnard - I learned some things I never knew about you. For example I never knew you came here from Connecticut. I bet Connecticut is a lot different than Pennsylvania. Also I didn't know you played lacrosse either and that's pretty cool.

So far in my book, Gulliver's Travels, Gulliver is the main character who lives in England as a doctor. His business then, though, starts to fail when his wife dies and he decides to set sail. After six years out at see, Gulliver gets caught in a huge typhoon and ends up shipwrecked on a random island of the Lilliputs. He wakes up tied down but a bunch of ropes. He attempts to get up but can not, he looks up and sees little people all around him. They communicate with each other and agree to keep Gulliver almost as a servant and slave. He does many acts of kindness for them and does what they wish. They begin to praise him for his great size. He is asked to travel to an enemy nation the Blefuscus to steal ships and destroy the army. He travels there, meets them and decides to bail from the request. With time the Lilliputs become frustrated with Gulliver and even charge him with crimes. They cut him a deal to not give him a death sentence but instead just remove his eyes. He refuses to allow so and flees to the Blefuscus. There he remains safe and relaxes until the Lilliputs find him. He knows then he must leave, so he fixes a ship he found with the help of the Blefuscus and sails back home to England.
