Who Am I?

Five foot ten. Skinny. Brown hair. Hazel eyes. Funny. Smart. Weird. A listener. Wise. Loving. Caring. Understanding. A worker. Servant's heart. All are terms that have been used to describe myself, whether true or not, these are the characteristics that people have seen in myself. I come from a large suburb just north of Dallas called, Plano. Plano is home to over a quarter of a million people and counting. I graduated from Plano East Senior high with a class of fifteen hundred students, that took nearly four hours to commence graduation. Plano is home to such superstars as Deon Sanders, Michael Irvin, and Lance Armstrong. Coming from such a large city I have become accustomed to the competitive nature of school and of life. At Plano East Senior High I played numerous sports such as football and basketball. Through these sports and coaches, I learned the meaning of team work, leadership, and how to be successful. Along with sports, I also participated in the band. I played the tenor saxophone for 7 years including middle school and high school. Through reading, writing, and marching music, I was taught great discipline and patience. Being from the Dallas Fort-Worth area, I also grew up in the bible belt, hence religion has played a critical role into my upbringing. Through the church I have learned about family, life, and death. Through the church I got involved in a incredible amount of community service projects such as Habitat for Humanity and working for the food pantry. I also led our congregation in worship many times on Sunday mornings. Music, along with sports, is my passion. Music is how I express myself, and things that I strongly have faith in. Texas A&M has always run deep in my family blood, so there was no question where I wanted to go to school. What I actually want to do? That's a different story. I want to do anything from law, sports agency, or music ministry. Eventually, like any young college student, I will find what I want to do, and whatever it is that I do, I know I will succeed.
