Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily.

About Me

Hi, I guess if I had to tell you "about me" I would say I was considered interesting. I get along with just about everyone, I wouldn't say that I have any enemies. I am intelligent, and I can be funny at times. I look young for my age, but the Army is helping with that. I can't wait till I get out of the Army and in to The University Of Texas. I just can't wait to go to Law School either. I have plans to be a politician, and I am driven to that goal. I think I will make it. I just have to learn the ropes first. I have a lot to learn from the people around me and I will continue to grow. So, be cool and get back at me.
