A lot of people have things that upon meeting somebody, if that person wants to be apart of there life, need to know about you. Whether it be things about your attitude or how to react during different types of situations. Or even embarrassing moments that you do not want to be reminded of.

People learn at their own paces, I have noticed about myself that I learn fast when I am interested in topics. If i'm not interested and the topics don't intrigue me, i find myself struggling to pay attention at most times.

I enjoy baseball, and currently play it. I was fortunate enough to make varsity at the beginning of my sophomore year, and got to play an entire year of baseball with my brother, which I have never gotten to do before and plan on continuing to better myself. I like wrestling, and currently wrestle, but I am not nearly as interested in wrestling as I have ever been in baseball. Baseball has become a way of life for me, my entire family played and enjoyed baseball. I love the outdoors. I have always found the outdoors a safe place, and a soothing one at that. I fish and hunt as much as I can. But trying to keep good grades, play sports and at that find time to hunt is a challenge. Lucky enough fishing usually takes place during the summer, when i get a break from school, and sports. We have 4 dirtbikes, a quad, and a bass boat. We try and use these as much as we can, and when we do use them it’s like an escape from the world for all of

    I believe I am calm because of how people react to my natural disposition. I remember one specific event in high school where a student sitting in front of me would start doing random things to see how I would react. Sometimes they would try to upset me and other times they would try to do things to get me excited, but no matter what they did I kept a straight face and responded rationally. It was about 2 months later when this student told me I was the calmest person they have ever met, because I never overreacted to anything. This is not the only instance where I have been calm, I have had numerous other people confirm this concept to me.…

    They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, but I see those words not in details in the picture, but the stories and lesson it speaks. I look at a picture that looks like any other you would typically see. It’s only a picture of a smiling boy in a frozen forest. But to me, I see a story and a life of someone in a different mindset that I can relate to. This person was not as adventurous and I would have liked, but once it came down to it, I didn't regret involving myself in these adventures.…
