Conscientious, intense, enthusiastic, energetic, altruistic, possibly susceptible/sensitive...said to be a "champion"…I was born in Hollywood, Florida in 1980 and raised in the near by areas Davie and Plantation, respectively. For as long as I can remember, I have had a love for mental challenges, science, animals, athletics, automobiles, arts & entertainment, the ocean, nature, and have taken caution to avoid unsanitary, dirty germs and other people's molecules, making careful efforts in hygiene. The first time I went to the bathroom without my mother I used a wad of toilet paper to press down the flusher. I never shared a drink with anyone, or let anyone have a sip of mine, including my mother, unless under extreme pressure I'd prefer if she didn't use my straw. I was recommended by a third grade teacher to be placed in a special "enrichment" or "gifted" program, I took an IQ test and was accepted in. I had the best and most confident times of my life in that special class, and was encouraged to be myself, using my many voices, talents and sense of humor, as well as my imagination. Due to not particularly liking most middle and high school classes, feeling frustrated and bored, I did not pay attention, especially in Language Arts, where I found uninteresting teachers and lengthy, possibly even unecessary lessons on grammar, including things like "gerand phrases." I didn't read much until starting college, and as a small child was used to being read to by my mother, thus not possessing an impressive vocabularly, and have been said to have the "grammar of an eigth grade Ethiopian immigrant." I began college in my own state of Florida, where I didn't have to write an essay for the application and received a seventy-five percent tuition scholarhip based on my GPA and SAT scores. My scores weren't high enough to go anywhere "fancy" and I did not want to write an essay for a college application, especially if there was a chance I wouldn't even get in, and have written all that essay for nothing. Also due to ignorance and my parents financial limitations, I didn't know where else I was "supposed" to go. Once at college, possibly fed by mild cases of cystic acne and early male pattern balding, I decided to stay inside, avoid other people and focus on my future. After two years I transfered to New York where I finished school, majoring in film and television. Ever since finishing high school I have naturally developed the passion for learning, experiencing and growing. I'd like to one day open a hair salon and be a country doctor.
