Throughout my life I have been involved in many activities; from school to in the community to after school. I have had a wide range of employment opportunities and have learned various skills through these jobs. Some of these skills have been able to benefit others and have taught me many things. Once I got into middle school I really wanted a job so I went down to the local newspaper and was a paper boy for three year.

Once we get all the kids “partying” we have the Sheriff and police officers to come in and treat it like a real party situation. These kids are arrested and put through different situations from rehab to death. We get almost the whole community in on this to give the kids a real life view of parties. I have also been very active in my church and do a lot of service projects with other kids that attend. I’m a member of the LDS church. I’ve been called to be on the Stake Youth Counsel Committee and we are in charge of planning large service projects, dances, youth conference which is a spiritual “camp” I guess. We go to classes and do other activities. I have earned my Eagle Scout, and have learned tons of things from being in boy scouts. I have picked up hunting and have enjoyed learning how to hunt and I just love being outside shooting and hiking or fishing really anything. Every year I go out to our farm to shoot a deer I ask the local game warden and various people around the community
