Bio

I am a current high school senior, aspiring to go to Liberty University. I am still unsure of what I would like to major in. I enjoy being outside, playing sports, and hanging out with my friends in my free time. I am very passionate about helping other people, both directly or indirectly, so whatever I choose to major in, I would like for the opportunity to touch the lives of others

    When I was a kid, I used to travel from Pennsylvania to Tennessee often to visit my grandparents. However, my family would take the trip overnight, so I would have to find the most comfortable position to sleep in. When I was in 5th grade, we took a trip down and I just couldn't find any position that I could sleep in. I was twisting and turning all trip, not paying attention to the directions I was going. When we arrived at 12:30 am and I tried to unbuckle, I wasn't able to get out. I looked down at my seatbelt and realized somehow, throughout the night, I had twisted it so much that I had knotted it around my body. Loudly screaming, I fought with the seat belt, while trying to get the attention of my parents. Finally, my dad came out to the car and asked what the problem was. At first when I told him that I was stuck in my seatbelt, he didn't believe me. Once he saw that I was truly stuck, and it was knotted around me, he began trying to figure out the easiest way to get me out without having to cut the seatbelt. We tried any different things, but the more we tried, the more the seat belt would lock and disable me from getting out. That's when we had to get more help. We called for my mom, grandma, and grandpa. After sitting there for a few minutes, trying to decide the best way to get me out, we decided the easiest thing to do would be to pull me out of the trunk, since I was in the back seat. My dad and grandpa went to the back to pull me out, while my mom and grandma stayed with me to try to pull the seat belt off. We continued trying this and it still wasn't working. At this point, it was one in the morning, and we were all getting tired. I was in tears because the seal belt hurt, my mom and grandma were in tears from laughing, and my dad was growing more and more frustrated. With the placement of the seat belt around my waist, we took my shorts off to make it easier to pull me out, thinking that maybe that was preventing us from getting me out. Finally, after 45 minutes of trying, I was sweaty enough that they were able to slip me right out the trunk of the car. At 1:15 am we were finally able to go inside and go to bed, there was just a slight hold up after I got stuck in my seat belt at age 10.
