About Me

My name's ben... but you should probably already know that if you're reading this. The most important thing that you need to know about me is that I LOVE JESUS!! ...he's helped me throughout times most of you will hopefully never have to expierence. Since the beginning of sophomore year, my life has been non-stop AWESOME!!! You see...the summer after freshman year basically didn't exist. But this past summer [after sophomore year] has completely made up for that summer and more. I got to go on a free [o yeah...free] trip to ATL and was able to do pretty much whatever i wanted [six flags + no lines = freakin awesome] but, while on that trip i was able to meet one of my best friends in the world. It was awesome. And it just so happened that she was able to re-connect me with an old best friend =] actually...as of today, it's been 6 months since i've met my buddy =] [she knows who she is] It was insane how i got to know her, but i can tell you about that another time. All I know is...she's a great person, an absolute blessing, and has inspired me in more ways than she will probably ever know. So really, i just want to say "thank you" sooooo much to that person for helping me grow [i dont even know if she'll ever read this...but who cares :-P] Some of my other best friends are...well, they know who they are, too. Some of you probably dont know that my whole name is Benjamin Iokepa Robert Botelho...even if i told you chances are you've already forgotten lol..."Iokepa" means "Joseph" in Hawaiian [that's my g-pa] "Ikaika" means "strength" in Hawaiian. I just like that name lol I'm 5'10" & love sports...all sports lol soccer has to be my all time favorite [actually...i lied...lacrosse just took over as my favorite] & then i also like to wrestle. I love playing the guitar &...sometimes i'll sing for some people haha but you gotta be lucky or go to my church to hear that. sadly..i'm single... :/ uhh...yea i think that's all...if you have more questions then you can just ask me later ADIOS!OH!! and...in case you didn't notice...i write a lot [sorry if you don't like that haha]
