Eco 372 Week 4

My name is Justin James Petner I am 15, and I was born on October 6, 1997 to my parents James and Christina Petner. I was born in San Diego, California, and lived there for a very brief time because my father accepted a job, which relocated us to Indiana. Upon arriving in Indiana it was just a few short years later that I was attending junior kindergarten at Forest Ridge Academy in Schererville, Indiana. Forest Ridge Academy is a private school, which host classes from junior kindergarten through 8th grade (Forest Ridge Academy, 2013). My parents chose Forest Ridge because of the small class sizes and the low teacher to student ratio (Petner, 2013). I did not really realize that I was at Forest Ridge for 10 years, but it was time for graduation on June 5, 2010(**School Report Card, 2010**). My entire graduation class, which was 21 students, was the largest graduation class in the 25-year history of Forest Ridge Academy. As my classmates enjoyed their summer off, we had chosen different paths for high school. Many students went to Marion Catholic High School, a few went to Morgan Park Academy, several other’s went to public high schools, but the most important group decided to come to La Lumiere (Petner, 2013). As a sophomore this 2013-2014 school I honestly can say that I made the right choice in La Lumiere.
My father James Petner was born October 6, 1967 ironically we share the same birthday, I was born on his 30th birthday, what a huge birthday present he always tells me. James comes from a large Catholic family where he has two brothers and three sisters. After meeting my mother my father enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and served 20 years for our great country. He is currently employed as an operation/logistics manager in East Chicago, Indiana (Petner, 2013). My mother Christina Petner has only two siblings a brother and a sister, her entire family lives within a 50-mile radius. She is currently employed for H&R Block as an
