2. Personal Health History I got my name, William Tanner Norman, because “William” (Wilhelm) has been a family name since the renaissance era when my family was in Normandy. “Tanner” is something my parents liked because when they chose it back in 1994 it wasn’t all that common and they wanted something somewhat unique. I was born in La Mesa, California on July 18th, 1994.

I heard you’ve been going to the hospital lately since living with your daughter. Why? I havnt been able to find a hospital in her area that can do dialysis like I need so my kindey’s have been filling up with fluids and it makes it hard for me to breathe. 18.

I don’t really like being taken care of, I like being independent but at the same time it might be nice not to worry about making long commutes to hospitals for treatment. 25. When would you stop having dialysis done? I’ll have it done until I die.
5. Family Health History My dad’s family came to America by boat in the late 1800’s as they are descendents of King Wilhelm of Normandy (where the last name Norman came from) and they had been one of the richest families in Normandy and they sought a nicer life in America, which they did not find. My mom’s family came from Mexico and Spain in which they all persued better lives as the Mexican side of my family were poor and came to America as illegal immigrants and worked for rich families until the very early 1900’s. The Spanish side of my family came to America as conquistadors in Mexico and escaped the wrath of the Aztecs and fled to America and were enslaved by the white men. Heart disease is a big hereditary disease on my dad’s side of the family in which one person in almost every generation get it. On my mom’s side diabetes is very common and very easy to get. It skips a generation and right now it’s on my generation. I have 3 cousins who have it and one brother who has it. It’s a very nasty disease. I currently have type 2 diabetes and bad IBS and I may have Crones disease.

8. Health Triangle My Physicality Is definitely Unbalanced at the Moment and I need to Work on my fitness a lot! I do eat well and exercise I just don’t exercise enough and I need a lot more water in my body. I need to improve so that my body is healthy for the rest of my life and I won’t have to worry as much later in life. Physical My emotional state at the moment I believe is very well balanced, I exercise when I get mad or stressed out and I keep my composure most of the time so things don’t blow up in my face making me sooooo stressed out. I think another way to keep my emotional/mental health could be improved by maybe starting a journal of everything that has happened so I can vent and I wont keep things bottled up. Mental/Emotional My social state is VERY well balanced. I’m able to make and keep friends, I don’t hate I appreciate (:, I don’t judge anyone I always get to know them first, and people don’t really not like me because I’m very friendly and outgoing. There’s really only one person in the world I really can’t stand so maybe I could try and fix things so that nothing blows up and ends up tearing people’s friendships apart since me and this person have mutual friends. Social

14. Unique Self Song The Represents Me: A Different Side of Me by Allstar Weekend ya, i’d be living the dreamif i switched with the football team.I’d be praised by my friendsif i was driving a mercedesbenz.do i know?what do i know?[Chorus]I wanna be a rockstar, a superhero,livin the dream; doin the things thati always wanted.iwanna see my face on that tvwith a picture on the coverwhere my friends could see a different side of me.I’m barely 5 foot 8.no muscle man but i can roller skate.not the biggest sports fanbut the band drives a mean mini-vando i know?what do i know?[Chorus]I wanna be a rockstar, a superhero,livin the dream; doin the things thati always wanted.iwanna see my face on that tvwith a picture on the coverwhere my friends could see a different side of me. I think this song represents me because I’m a very open person and I’m always showing characteristics of myself to people and I’m not really a sports fan, and I do want to be a rockstar. (:
15. Unique Self Self Portrait: Obviously I’m not an artist haha but I’m a very happy and outgoing person so I thought this was a way to represent that.
16. Future Aspirations My brother Brian has made an impact on my life by being there for me as I grew up and helping me with soccer and baseball when I needed and always giving me college advice. Dear Brian, Thank you so much for everything you have done for me. Even though you’re a junior in college now I still remember how every weekend you would help me with soccer and baseball and give me talks about girls and convincing me to go to UCDavis with you. Thanks for everything. Love, Tanner In 3 years I see myself as a freshman in college at either UCDavis, UCLA, CSU Fullerton, or Johnston and Whales for Chemical Engineering, Criminal Investigation, or Culinary Arts. In 5 years I see my self as a junior in college hopefully close to being done with my minor in spanish and close to being done with college in whatever field I decide to do. In 10 years I see my self in a very stable job hopefully starting a family or already have one by then with my wife. If I could accomplish one thing in my life it would be my singing/acting career to take off. Ive been to many auditions and have been so close to getting the part but getting cut for someone who’s more well known. For example I tried out for a new Disney channel show and I lost it to Doug B. (I cant say his name or the name of the show) who now stars in the show we auditioned for.
17. Media Awareness In my opinion, I think the media is bogus. They exaggerate everything and most people buy into all of it. I don’t believe that Lindsay Lohan is as bad as people say, and I don’t think Elin Woods tried to kill Tiger in his sleep. Everything just seems so rediculous that it’s hard to know what’s real and what’s not. The Media doesn’t affect my clothing or activities. I don’t really go with “what’s hot” or the “new fad” I do me, I wear what I look good/decent in, and I do what I want to do or am good at. The only thing the media affects is my music because I LOVE music and the media always has the newest songs by the newer artists and they’re usually pretty decent songs/artists so I end up listening to them nonstop.
