Will Calland's Autobiography

“It’s all fun and games until someone loses a nut”

 Hello, my name is William Calland. I will be 14 on the 20^th of January.  I live in Charlottesville, VA. I was born there, moved to Philadelphia, and then moved back to VA.

I am about 5’3, 115 pounds, and am the only one in my family without glasses.

My family includes my mom, my dad, sister, dogs, cats, rats, and me. My mom’s name is Vonnie, my dad’s name is Forrest, and my sister’s name is Julia. My dogs’ names are Rueben, Bubba, Minnie, and Truffles. My cats’ names are Calvin and Midsy. My rats’ names are Cassie and Bender.

My mom is probably one of the sweetest people in the entire world. My dad is a trauma surgeon at UVA hospital and is one of the funniest, smartest people I know. My sister is everything to me. She is very supportive of me and I love her a lot. My family is important to me because without them, not only would I not be here, but I also would not have been as successful in life as I am now. I love them and they are my life.

    This is my sister                             

Some of my favorite activities include dancing, racing R/C cars, fishing, drawing, driving go-carts, listening to music, typing, playing with my pets, hanging out with friends, soccer, baseball, basketball, video games, and photography. I also love rats and ferrets. My rats are brother and sister. They are the cutest things in the world and I love them so much. Something else I have to talk about is fishing, I can proudly say that I am addicted to it. The largest fish I have caught is a Blue Marlin that weighed over 750 pounds. Personally, my favorite fish to catch is Red Drum. They are very hard fighters and it can take about a minute or two to reel them in.

Some of the important moments in my life include my love for cars which all the credit goes to my mom for telling me how to count all the nice cars on the road when I was about two. Another moment was when I caught my first fish with my dad. I also remember when my grandfather died. I have had many of people and pets I was close to that have died during my life. I also think it does not help with me coping with the stress I already have in my life. Another big memory is when I had my first trip to the emergency room at the University of Virginia Hospital, when a chain link fence went in my hand. Another learning experience was when I went to my first camp, which I stayed at for two weeks.

In conclusion, I think that life is going pretty well so far, and that I couldn’t ask for a better set of all the people in my life. This is why I am who I am!!!!!!!!
