About Me

My name is Brooke. I am twenty three going on twenty four and I live in Union, SC. I am happy, sad, enthused, bored, anxious, apathetic, mad, glad, excited, straightlaced, crazy, imaginative, creative, talented, tired, articulate, loving, confident, conscience, political, passionate, religious, fun, and REAL!! I love my life and everyone that's in it!! I couldn't live without my friends and they will ALWAYS be my stronghold. "Never give up on someone you can't go a day without thinking about." "Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs although checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor souls who neither enjoy much nor suffer much because they live in the grey twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat" "It's always easy to smile when the sun is shining, it's what you do when it rains that really counts." "We don't know who we are until we see what we can do." "Challenges are what make life interesting;overcoming them is what makes life meaningful" "Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades. A mode of conduct, a standard of courage, discipline, fortitude, and integrity can do a great deal to make a woman beautiful." "Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend." "Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war, love is a growing up."

My Interests

I'm interested in life, books, people, the way people work, the future, the past, and the present. I love music and all things that surround it. I interest myself in having a good time and trying to lift up and encourage the people around me. I love humor and laughter really is the best medicine. I attempt to interest myself in all things positive and uplifting.

Books:

I have to admit I am quite the bookworm. My most favorite books of all time include: A Seperate Piece, Pride and Prejudice, The Theif of Always, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Good Earth, In Cold Blood, and of course The Book of Mormon and The Bible. Some more contemporary books that I enjoyed are Memoirs of a Geisha and The Virgin Suicides.

Heroes:

Wow!!! That's a tough question, but here goes: My best friend Cynthia for her strength, love, and undying character. My highschool physical science teacher for his perserverence and ability to make anything positive. My grandmother for her stronghold to the Gospel and her understanding that life is short compared to eternity. And last but certainly not least, my grandfather for having so much understanding...he once said about someone who had stolen money from him...."If he can live with it, I can live without it." It takes a strong man to say these words and an even stronger man to mean it.

Life really is like a box of chocolates.
