CHESAPEAKE, VA
I'm originally from Chesapeake, VA, but I've been moving about ever since I was two. I am an Bahrain School Honors Graduate. I am currently attending Old Dominion University as a freshman. Athletics play a huge role in my life, as well as many other hobbies I very much enjoy. I have a passionate love for music and poetry. I take after my dad from enjoying photography so much. I've been to almost 8 different countries, and from traveling, I learned more about the world and having different perspectives of how I see things now. I can't wait to see where my grades and my experiences take me in life.

Sportsmanship
10th grade, Softball
-As we were playing in the middle of a Softball game at Deep Creek High School, a girl from the opposing team twisted her ankle while running to second base. Feeling bad about what had happened, I rushed over as quickly as I could to her aid; she could not walk at all so my third baseman and I lifted her up off of the field toward her team’s duggout while other girls from her team helped us as well. At that moment, the Deep Creek Softball team thanked us for good sportsmanship; the coach personally thanked me and shook my hand.

Favorites
- Movies:
Hitchcock films, Behind Enemy Lines, Halloween, R.E.D., mainly horror and action films.
- TV Shows:
I really don't watch t.v. I think it's over-rated and a common distraction and an influence of ignorance. (: but I do watch Supernatural, Criminal Minds, Pretty Little Liars, The First 48, and CSI, on DVD.
- Music:
I enjoy every kind of music. Music is music. In order to enjoy it, you must expand upon it. One genre isn't just going to define your knowledge about life and your views. Don't discriminate man!
