I was born on July tenth, 1986 in Hinsdale Illinois near Chicago. I am a twin with my brother Kyle, which has proven to be an interesting thing. He has been my best friend my entire life; there is nothing like having a friend to play with everyday. It's almost impossible to be lonely. My father's name is Steven Andrew Cory, and my mother's name is Rachel Anne Cory. I have an older brother named Jason. He is autistic, which means he has a mental disability that affects his communication and understanding skills. We all lived in Chicago for about ten years with each other, but only after my parents divorced when I was six years old.
      My brother and I were models when we were really young; we worked for a talent agency called Stewart talent. They eventually landed us a roll in a made for T.V. movie called "Mario and the Mob." After our modeling career ended, we continued growing up in Addison, a suburb of Chicago. Although my memories of elementary school are faint, I at least remember enjoying them. In the summer we were to turn eleven, my family and I decided to move to Chapel Hill, North Carolina. It didn't take me long to make friends, even though I talked funny to most of the kids around. It was not hard to fit in though; people in North Carolina are pretty easy going. I grew up for a while, making different friends and learning what I like to do. I was on a swim team for a while, but it turned out that it was taking up too much of my time. A really interesting time was graduating from middle school, it was the first time in my life that I felt like I accomplished something big. It was around my freshman year in high school that I became interested in playing pool. This has evolved into one of my biggest and most passionate hobbies. Throughout high school I didn't succeed in making incredibly good grades, but I got by. Also, during high school I participated in a variety of sports and activities, I skateboarded for the first two years of high school, and during my junior year I wrestled and played Ultimate Frisbee. I met my current girlfriend near the middle of junior year. She is a wonderful person that I have spent a lot of happy times with, we are still together even though we have broken up a couple times. My senior year has probably been one of the best times of my life. I haven't had to work nearly as hard as any of the other three years, and it's always a good feeling to be at the top of the school. I have been accepted to college at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Yet, one of the most long lasting enjoyable experiences of my life has been taking Japanese under Kiyozuka Sensei. I love the Japanese language, and all three years I have spent learning it. The relationship I have developed with my Sensei is priceless because she has instilled in the want to go somewhere different and cultural in my life.
