On June 26, 1982, the universe brought forth a being that would touch the lives of many around him and change his world forever. Hi. My name is Kane Rozell. There were five people including myself when I was born, my mother, father, and two sisters. My mother was 33 years old and my father was 30 when I was born. Sordana, the youngest of my two older sisters, was 4, and Sherry, the oldest, was 13. Together, we all lived in Whitinsville, Mass for the first eight years of my life. We then, in 1990, moved to Uxbridge, Mass and lived there for about a year or so. In 1991, we moved to Clearwater, Florida and stayed for about another year and moved to Largo for about the same amount of time. During the last few months that my family and I lived in Largo, my mother was diagnosed with inflamatory breast cancer and we moved to Putnam, Ct. to live closer to the hospital that my mother was used to. My mother died the following year and we ended up moving again, only this time, to what appears to be where I will be finishing my public education, Fitchburg. This was in the end of the 6th that I moved to Fitchburg, and have been here ever since.
The biggest events in my family all throughout my life were the holidays. My mother used to always make big, gargantuan meals and massively decorated the house because every holiday to her was a special occasion. On my birthday, the Fourth of July, Memorial Day, and certain other days, we would host big family get-togethers and have cookouts. On Thanksgiving, Christmas, and my two sister's birthdays, we would have a large in-door party with all of our close members of the family (aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc.)
In my younger years, my biggest inspiration was my father. I can remember back when I was somewhere around seven or eight years old, my father used to have a work area in the cellar (like most dads do). When he used to be working on a project, often, I would come down and join him and make it a group effort, sort of speak. These are the memories that I look very fondly upon.
Also, when I was young, like most people, I had my favorite things to do. One of these things I liked to do was in fact, help my father, but more so than that, I loved my Ninja Turtles. Every Saturday morning, I used to religiously wait for their show to come on and watch it, then afterwards, get inspired by the show and create or recreate an episode using my action figures that I loved so much.
The ages that I think that I mostly developed morally were between the times when my mother died (1994) and now. For obvious reasons, my mother's death had a traumatic effect on me and the way that I looked at things. I became much more religious than ever before; I looked at life much more profoundly, and I began to wonder the questions that have been plaguing mankind throughout history: Who am I? Where am I going? Why am I here? Etc. I still have none of the answers but I'm getting there, slowly but surely.
Well, that is basically the on-going story of how I came to be. Still, I grow spiritually, mentally, socially, etc. My biggest hope for myself is that I find that special girl and that I raise a wonderful family that will contribute as much to the world as I hope to, if not more.
