All About Me

Hello, my name is Jackson Tracy and I live in Alameda, Ca, I was born on October 11th 1995 at John Muir Hospital in Walnut Creek. I moved to Alameda when I was 4 years old from Moraga, Ca. While I have been in Alameda I have attended Edison Elementary and Lincoln Middle School, I really liked both schools and I had a lot of fun throughout even though I had horrible grades while at Lincoln. While I was at Lincoln I never really focused on school like I should have, I didn’t really get some of the work but I never bothered to ask any questions to help myself. It wasn’t really until eighth grade when I realized I better get it together or I won’t walk the stage with my class, but even then when I really tried hard to focus I couldn’t, I would always find my self staring off into space and missing important information in class. I told my mom and she suggested we get me checked out for ADD or maybe some other deficit. When went through a long annoying process of going to the doctor and also taking tests at school and also countless school meetings with teachers and my parents. After about a month of testing two weeks before the end of school I found out that I had ADHD and that I could take medication that would help me focus. Just as we found this out I found out I was going to graduate and I was so excited.

    Since I was young I have always loved sports, I love to play baseball and football weather it’s in a league or just with my friends, I love sports. I have played baseball every year of my life since I was four years old and I have never gotten tried of it and I look to keep playing if I can continue. I only did play one year of football in a league but it was very fun and we won the championship, but I could not play the next year because I had bad grades and did not have time for that. I am a very big fan of the Oakland Raiders and the San Francisco Giants, I have never been happier than when the Giants won the World Series, it was just such a great moment in my life. I am very excited for the upcoming football season and going to Raider games, I have been going since I could walk with my dad who had season tickets. My dad no longer has season tickets but we still go to as many games as we can each season and we both love going. I really love sports and they are a huge part of my life, I love to play almost every sport just not in a league. As you can see from me, I have struggled in school, but I am trying my best know and love sports and want to continue to play and watch them.
