In the past he was often bullied and picked on daily. Being shoved into lockers and trashcans as he was the smallest person in middle school and high school. During his freshman year of high school tragedy struck him and his family when his house caught fire and he was burned 85% of his body with 1st-3rd degree burns. He would spend a month in the hospital recuperating and becoming strong enough to even walk on his own. Yet it would be almost another 6 months before he would even be able to return to school and due to a fracture in his back he would be in a back brace for another month. The following year, he joined the wrestling team and being in the school musical, in a way to broaden himself and become a better person. Now in his junior year of high school he is taking Criminal Justice classes part time at a career center and is in for a completely new experience.
