About Me


About me:
Hi, I'm Brad. I'm 21 years old. I am a Christian. And I occasionally go to Community Christian Fellowship. I also go to TC ( the local community college) where I have a 4.00 GPA, for which I am very proud of. I just joined my schools' Honor Society (Phi Theta Kappa) for which I was elected Vice-President (WHICH IS A BIG HONOR). I am also very involved in ASB, holding the position of Assistant Activities Coordinator. Upon graduating, I plan on being Valedictorian. In high school, I was also very involved. I was in Drama 4 years (I was in nine plays, four of which being musicals), Advanced Choir for 2 years, Youth Alive for 4 years, and Friday Night Live for 1 year. Upon graduation, I received almost $2500 in scholarships for my academic achievements and involvement. I also received the National School Choral Award trophy for my being a stand out in choir, a Senior Standout for the senior class (for the yearbook), the Bank of America Fine Arts plaque for my excellence in Drama and Choir, and a scholarship from my church. I list all of these because I am very, very proud of my accomplishments. Update: May, 2005: I was accepted on to the National Dean's List for my excellence in academic achievement. Update: October, 2005: I HAVE ALSO LOST OVER 60 POUNDS SINCE STARTING THIS DIET I'M ON (AND BECOMING A VEGETARIAN). And I must admit, I'm startin' to look dang good. LOL...J/K! Update: January, 2006: I am very happy right now...I hated living a lie. I came out of the closet on November 25, 2005...and ever since then, I have been able to be myself!!! And I also moved from Assistant Activities Coordinator in ASB to Vice President. Can you imagine that?! I'm the Vice President of ASB of the whole school! I am the happiest I have ever been in my entire life.

My Interests


You are the 1940s!

Which decade are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
Rafael. You're most like the ArchAngel of Healing.
You want people to shape up, and you nag. But
you mean well, and you're well loved despite
it. Or because of it. You bring the donuts
even as you tell people to eat more veggies.

Which ArchAngel are you most like?
