I am here for Friends

About Me

I just graduated from high school, and I am attending North Greenville U. next year, even though I'm not too thrilled about it at the moment. I would much rather be at City University in the heart of downtown London where I would be totally engulfed in a soccer culture. I love playing, watching, refereeing--doing anything that has to do with the beautiful game. I'm also heavy into music, and I am studying to be a journalist someday. That's the plan, anyway, but God can send me wherever. I am at his disposal, for His will, because He gave up everything, including His only Son Jesus Christ so that I could have a personal relationship with Him. In the end, He is my reason for life.

My Interests

hiking in thunderstorms, playing ping-pong while listening to reggae, swimming in the dark, camping on the beach-without a tent, mountain biking on hiking-only trails, sipping my thai milk tea at ocha, losing my voice at football games, and spending all my money on root beer floats at A&W

I'd like to meet:

Michael Owen or Steven Gerrard, two of my favorite soccer players.

I call it camp, but it was more like a Bible conference for teenagers. That, however, is too hard to explain to people who say, "Where you been?" and then keep on walking. So as they stroll past ...
