Mr. President

About me…

Well, I’m 16, I have  one sister, two parents, and two great dogs. I have lived in Animas most of my life, and I plan to graduate here.  I like music, movies, and old films.  I am a born again Christian.  I have a very large family, on my mom’s side, they are all fun to be around.  At last count I had 63 or so cousins, and we’re still expanding.  I think I’m well rounded:  playing basketball, and joining many organizations in high school.  In addition to high school, I have stared in many plays, and have attended some very big plays (not Broadway yet, but they were still good.)  I have maintained an A/B average most of my life, and I hope to get a scholarship to go to college.  And that’s all about me.
