hmmm about me.... lets see.... im tall (6'2") im 18... im a SENIOR this year.... I'm willing to try anything once... and i'm pretty much involved with everything. I tend to go overboard sometimes, but I guess its just me. I'm pretty laid back, but im very competative, which is good is some ways, but sometimes my competative nature gets in the way of me being the person I want to be. My friends are amazing and I would be nowhere without them. I think I'm a good listener, but I can be a total jerk too (and im probly a jerk too much). I'm going to a service academy at the end of the year, either the US Coast Guard Academy or the US Naval Academy, im kind of leaning one way but thats for me to know. Finally, everyday i strive to live by the words of the poem, "Build Me a Son", and I'll close with the passage:"Give him humility, so that he will always remember the simplicity of true greatness the open mind of true wisdom the meekness of true strengthThen I, his father, will dare to whisper, I have not lived in vain."
