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 1^st 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 – 8^th 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.
