I was assigned to write an autobiography for English class. It took me some time to think about things and things that have affected my life. I thought about my life for a while. So to start, I'll talk about the most influential man I've ever had the privilege of meeting, my grandfather. Ed Hansen My grandfather was the coolest guy ever. He taught me everything while I was growing up. My grandfather worked at Blue Bird as a bus mechanic. He loved his job there. When I was born he was already retired and had a part-time job in a pumpkin patch. He drove the train over there, every time my brother and I got off we rode for free. My grandfather had many hobbies over the years, but none as big as him and his ultralight. I only had the privilege of going down there with him once. My grandfather also taught me to drive. When I was just 14 years old he took me to the farm in his Ram 1500 and let me drive around the property just to learn to drive. Then one day, after getting tired, he told me to take him home. So that was my first time on the highway at 14 and in a full size truck. It was pretty scary and pretty dangerous. When I ended up getting my first car, it taught me everything. He would come out and roll around on the floor showing me things about it. That's where I learned the most about cars. One thing about my grandfather was that he smoked his whole life, and it showed. As he got older, he started to show himself more and more. I will never forget the last day I was with him. we were at his house watching sports and he was yelling at the TV like he always did. He needed to take a nap so I went home and less than an hour later I got a phone call from my grandmother who told me that I have played soccer my whole life since I was three and I loved every single year. I played on a non-competitive team for a long time, which was a terrible idea going into high school ball. When I started playing soccer in high school, everything changed. Football was very different. I remember my first game, I had the ball, I got hit and I looked at my dad and he shrugged his shoulders. It took a lot to learn how to play at this new level. I worked hard during the first year, the second year and the third year. Then came senior year. The season arrived and my coach, Coach Fletcher, had high expectations for me. I suffered from football conditioning and lost a few pounds. But I'm getting ahead of myself. the spring season before prom was my biggest nightmare. I started the season well. he had a goal. But then it happened that I broke my collarbone again. This time was my worst moment so far. I was put forward to let our attackers have a break. I don't usually play here. I started the half with a few chances but then the perfect ball came high from my defender. He sent the ball and I took off. I ran fast as lightning after that ball. I brought my foot back to take a photo and BAM!! I was hit with the shoulder from behind. I fell and heard a pop. I broke my collarbone for the fourth time. So I had to miss the rest of the season that spring. I came back for the school dance and
