Trystan   James   Riley   The  best  experience  of  my  life  was  when  I  moved  to  Portland,  Oregon.  I  moved  there  the   summer  after  my  freshman  year.  I  got  there  two  days  before  sophomore  year,  just  in  time  to  get   to  drive  around  the  city  a  little  bit.  I  started  football  practice  the  first  day  of  school,  but  did  not   have  to  go  to  classes  because  they  were  getting  my  classes  set  up.  When  I  first  walked  up  to  the   school  on  my  first  day,  I  didn’t  know  what  to  think.  It  was  huge,  like  the  size  of  a  college.  It  was   actually  the  size  of  a  college,  we  had  over  2,000  students.       When  we  first  moved  there,  we  had  to  live  in  a  hotel  for  the  first  couple  of  days,  until  we   got  to  move  into  our  apartment.  Our  apartment  was  in  the  absolute  perfect  spot.  We  were  right   across  the  street  from  a  giant  gym  that  was  open  24  hours  a  day.  They  had  two  basketball   courts,  where  I  spent  most  of  time  outside  of  school.  Within  two  minutes  of  every  fast  food   restaurant  that  you  can  think  of.  I  feel  in  love  with  Taco  Bell  while  I  was  out  there.  I  was  also  5   minutes  for  the  biggest  mall  I  have  ever  been  in.  I  meant  some  really  cool  people.  The  guy  that  I   personal  trained  with,  Elston  Haywood.  He  was  a  professional  body  builder.  He  became  like  a   father  figure  to  me,  if  I  had  any  problems  I  went  to  him.  I  miss  him  so  much.  The  other  really   cool  person  that  I  meant  was  Marcus  Hubbard,  we  was  an  ex  NBA  player.  I  was  lucky  enough  to   play  basketball  with  him  on  a  daily  bases.  That  was  such  a  good  experience.     12   The  Sunset  Appolos,   where  I  went  to  school
