My Roommate Tom

Didn't know what to write so i decided to do a profile/ make up stories about my roommate.

Thomas Galligan was born June 6, 1991 into a loving family consisting of his Mom, Dad and older brother. Unaware to him at the time, he would soon become the middle child of his family after the birth of his little sister Annie. Thomas’s childhood years were spent in Baltimore where he played frequently with his older brother Ed in various activities. These included, pretend games such as reenacting battle scenes from power ranges, and exploring the land of Toy Story. He also enjoyed playing kickball and rollerblading until won day he took a nasty spill down a hill. Thomas suffered a factored ulna, which deeply scared his passion for rollerblading. Thomas never fully recovered from the incident until a few years later when he returned to the hill and successfully bladed down it while screaming, “Hallelujah.”

When Thomas turned eight his family moved to Annapolis as a result of his Dad’s career. Thomas was depressed about leaving his old home, friends, and the neighborhood he grew up in. He was enrolled in St. Mary’s Elementary School, which was a medium sized private school in downtown Annapolis. Thomas recalls his first day at St. Mary’s to be one of the most embarrassing days of his life. Basically, it was his first day of second grade and he peed his pants. But, the reason for the pee pants was because there was a single bathroom in the back of the room and there was a long line. Thomas remembers, “I couldn’t hold it any longer so I just went with the flow.” That afternoon when Thomas returned home he had practically forgotten the incident until his Mom asked hem why he smelled of urine. He explained and she was not the least bit pleased.

As the years past on Thomas developed his group of friends which where relatively well behaved. Although, one day in seventh grade Thomas and his friends started something that no one in seventh grade would forget. A food fight, Thomas said, “It was the most epic event of my primary education.” Thomas’s friends had made the perfect plan during their history class the period before lunch. They all bought big meals with double orders of spaghetti and lots of sides. Than they strategically picked Billy Thompson to throw food at first because he had a low tolerance for others picking on him. Expectantly, they got the reaction they were looking for and the rest was history. When Thomas moved on to high school some of his friends went to different schools therefore the group was partially dismembered. Thomas entered high school opened to new ideas and new people. He played football his freshmen year and learned that it wasn’t for him. He soon found his new group of friends and his place at St. Mary’s high school. Thomas was always strong academically growing up and strived to achieve the highest grades he could in high school. He graduated first in his class and was able to give his valedictorian speech on what he was passionate about, family and food. Thomas says, “It was one of the happiest days of my life.” Thomas had a great summer and when fall rolled around he back his bags and headed to Virginia Tech were he roomed with this kid Jimmy Cook. Jimmy and Thomas were friends back in high school and decided to room together in college. College has been great for Thomas so far he’s involved in dairy club and prevet club. He’s surely enjoying himself, life’s good!
