Autobiography of KDA
What’s up everyone? My name is Keith Roberto Diaz-Albertini.
Yes, I know I have a long name, and yes Roberto Is really my middle name. My
fathers name was Roberto, and he was born in Cuba and moved over to the states
with his family at age 5. That’s a whole different story. Now back to me, I’m 5
foot 10, brown hair, brown eyes, my zodiac sign is Aquarius. I grew up in a
town called Suffern, Rockland County. I have an older brother and the cutest dog you’ll ever see. I
am a bio major, hopefully attempting to join the physical therapy program next
year. I take classes such as this communication class because they interest me.
I absolutely love to sleep whenever I can, so basically I’m just a typical
college student is what it all comes down to.
My personality that I have today has been shaped from the
events that have happened in my older years, and even in my younger ones. My
life has most certainly been a crazy one, as when I was little I was considered
a problem child. I started off going catholic school in my hometown because my
family was very religious when I was growing up. Church every Sunday or there
were major issues. Anyway, from the very beginning of kindergarten, that school
had no idea what they were getting in to.
For an example, in 1st grade I am sitting in the back
watching the movie the Lion King and this kid walks behind and jumps on my back
and says "giddy up horsey" and pulls my hair back. I start fighting
to throw him off and ended up breaking his nose. Trust me, I got in a lot of
trouble. In second grade I slammed my friends finger in a door by accident and
started to laugh. I got in a lot of trouble. After many incidents similar to
these, my family had a meeting with the principle and tensions were ignited.
Talking and talking, it all didn’t matter, at the end of the day I was taken
out of that school and was put in the public school system. From that day
forward, my entire attitude about life had changed and transformed into a more
humble personality. I honestly think the earlier school years, K – 8th
grade, really shaped who I am today.
The biggest influence in my life has definitely
been the introduction of soccer. As a kid, I played football, baseball,
swimming and lacrosse, but I never really found those to be good enough for me,
because for the most part, I wasn’t really interested. Now soccer on the other
hand…now that’s a big part of me. I fell in love with soccer as soon as I tried
it at the age of 8. I started off with the typical recreational league, which
pretty much every kid between the ages of 5 and 10 had tried, then excelled at
the sport that allowed myself to partake in a competitive travel league. Travel
soccer was a big step up from the puny recreational soccer I was used too. I’ll
fast-forward my life roughly 6 years because nothing that exciting really
happened. When I hit the age of 16, I played in my first international overseas
tournament in Ireland. This impacted my life in so many ways because that
so-called love I had for the sport went through the roof. The tournament was
called the “Foyle Cup”, and included 32 teams from 17 different countries;
which brought some of the toughest competition my teammates or me had ever
played against. My game increasingly improved after this because I absorbed a
bunch of different playing styles from my opponents. Soccer has brought me to
where I am today, playing here for the Men’s Team at SUNY Oneonta.
I’ve
experienced a lot of things in my life, many ups and many downs for sure. But
whether or not they were positive or negative experiences, it defined me to be
the person I am today, Keith Diaz-Albertini. Born January 21, 1994.
I think this bio clearly defines of what kind
of person I am. I didn’t go into many events in my life, however, I went into
the most life changing events that affected me. I deserve an A-B+ on this
assignment. I believe this writing really reflects my past life in many
different aspects.
