Born January 10th, 1969 I was a month premature. I was supposed to be born on Valentine's Day. I nearly died in
the fluids of birth but they put me in a bubble and quickly a became a normal child. When my Mom gave birth she received a
police escort (with my Dad driving) to the hospital. This is all happening in Chicago. I was a smart kid and by the time I
entered the 1st grade I was ahead of all the kids. It stayed this way until 5th grade when I had Mr. Green. I learned a lot
about life and social issues but nothing else. He read us the newspaper and books everyday. We never did math, or writing
or anything else (we faked once for some inspectors). From this point on my social skills improved but I became an average
student. I liked to play baseball and was into KISS and Elton John.
