Hey everyone. My name is Scott and I'm 24 years old. I was born in Houston,TX. I've been blessed with an absolutely AMAZING family. My mother is the most caring compassionate person I've ever known. My father is the most generous and thoughtful person. I've learned so much about life, love, and happiness through both of them. I could never truly show them how much I appreciate everything they do for me. My sister is my best friend. Three years older than me, she only has a bit more experience than I. Though she has experience the real world much more than me so I take her advice very much to heart. Through the people that I've met in my life, it has become painfully obvious to me that I truly was BLESSED with the family I have. I try to share my blessings with those around me as much as I can. I am very generous, but do not like being taken advantage of or used. I am now able to stay in school for as long as I'd like. I plan on taking advantage of this amazing opportunity by double majoring in mechanical engineering and mathematics. I have no doubt that later on I will pursue a masters, and possibly even a P.H.D.. Education is the driving force in my life; I am passionate about learning (not necessarily doing hw). You don't have to be in school to learn though; life can teach you much more than any amount of schooling, as long as you don't let it slip by. Take advantage of opportunities that present themselves, and if they don't come to you... go to them. Life is what you make of it. You only get one shot (in my opinion) so make it count. In the end everybody's life is their own. The most important thing is happiness. So do what makes you happy and you'll have an amazing life. And a last note... people always come before objects... money can't buy you happiness... the happiest people I encounter have not much more than love in their lives.Some good things to remember:"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes."
