About Me

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unheralded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistance and determination alone are supreme. -President Calvin CoolidgeMySpace Layouts - <?=$l_title?> myspace layouts

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I would probably like to meet a ton of famous people. Tom Brady would be up there on the list. I wouldn't mind meeting the president. I wish I could have met Abe Lincoln back in the day. I would also like to meet my Savior, Jesus Christ.
