Zachary Petty, born on January 21st, 1989, at early ages, had surgery on his ears two or more times. By the time he was old enough for preschool, there was no doubt Zachary had a lot more energy than most other kids his age, was kicked out of preschool on day two. Struggling with his ability to focus, learning things like basic math, writing, and basic manners we're completely alien.

Early second grade, Zachary was prescribed Ritalin, to assist with the control of his new friend: "ADHD." Throughout elementary school, Zachary went through countless kinds of medication, Ritalin, Adderol, Welbutrin, Concerta, etc, by Fifth Grade a steady dose of Concerta, along with Welbutrin, to counteract the side effects, more specifically "Depression." By the end of fifth grade, it was clear that Zachary had not developed the same social skills other boys his age had, leaving him almost always friendless, aside from a couple other antisocial characters that would come and go from time to time. Being as socially inapt as Zachary was, sixth grade was "a bigger school, with tough kids, and daily beatdowns" Zachary thought, and in fear of the tougher, new class of bullies, Zachary chose to spend sixth grade under the wing of "Mom," I.E. he chose home school. Home school went well for him, the summer between sixth grade and seventh, Zachary and his family moved to Washington, between Vancouver, and Camas, His seventh grade year was attended in public school, at Pacific Middle School, he takes his first art class, along with his first Technology Class.

Zachary attended public school without problems, taking classes such as Drawing, Technical education 1, & 2, American Sign Language Years 1, & 2, Beginners Photography, Advanced Photography, Graphic Design, Pottery, and all basic Required Classes.

During his junior year at Hudsons Bay High School, Zachary Starts smoking marijuana, doesn't like it, quits three months later before the end of the First Semester, by second semester, Zachary takes a new ADHD control medicine, "Straterra" Bad reaction leads to lack of impulse control, leading to Stealing a Cell phone from a Government Facility, Charged with a misdemeanor, Zachary Is charged with a federal offense, three months after his eighteenth birthday.
Drinking was a new thing for Zachary as a social lubricant as its commonly used, but also used as a way to feel his overactiveness was normal, being around people or not, drinking was fun. a few months after drinking, he drinks with his best friends for the first time, one shot of vodka, not enough to hangover, but enough to be lethal in some situations, 3 hours before the single shot of vodka (diluted into a 32 ounce cup of soda) Zachary had taken Motrin (ibuprofen) and there was enough left in his system to react with the very spread out dose of alcohol. about a week after these events, abnormal spots appear on Zachary legs, and brushing teeth causes unusual bleeding, 2 days later, a nose bleed starts, it doesn't go away. 48 hours later Zachary is in the ER, diagnosed with either Leukemia, or a rare blood disorder called "ITP." lucky enough for Zachary, its not Leukemia, the rare blood disease is treated after 8 days in the hospital, and 3 times a week doctors visits spanned over a 6 week period. He still gets checked up on once every six months.
Zachary, has become less of a social outcast, by learning to control his temper, what he says, and how he acts around people, very happy with his current situation, it is only getting better, He has a best friend, a Romance to scream from the mountain tops, a style like no other, and a creative mind that is on its way to the top of this world, I now spend my time working on school, always writing ideas down in my notebook, I am an active Biker, Photographer, and Social butterfly, when I'm not Expanding on my ideas through media projects.
