Once you cross into knowing and understanding our world, you realize how there are no limitations in life.

I could author and illustrate an autobiography, detailing every trait of my persona and experiences, but in all honesty, you can't really know a person through words.

I'm unusual, unorthodox, spontaneous, and adventurous. I'm protective, compassionate, assertive, and open-minded. I'm an extroversive introvert, and if you can figure that one out, I like you already. I enjoy changing the norm, pushing my boundaries, and trying to read people like a novel. I'm committed to my family, my passions, and my responsibilities. I'm reliable. I am neither mature nor immature. I'm inquisitive - knowledge is often free and powerful. I'm a "diverse hobbyist", in the sense that I enjoy doing pretty much anything new... you're just as likely to see me laying in bed reading as you are to see me rock climbing in the old neighborhood.

In a simple, layman's definition of myself, I love my life. Because of that, I treat every moment as if it were my last. Who knows? It just might be. Take all your high school stereotypes: geek, punk, loser, etc. and mix them up in a pot. There you have me.

Few quick facts about me:
* I believe normal is boring.
* My only fear is being afraid.
* I'm different, and my friends are strange. I love them for that, because being yourself is a task most people can't seem to achieve.

Current Goals:
Spring '09, CCAC for core credits
Fall '09, PSU for Pre-Med
Spring '12, UPenn for Pediatrics

-- My family, most especially my little sister Haley and baby sister Maggie
-- A goal I'm passionate about to keep me driven
-- My friends; they keep me entertained and sane
-- My car; I'm driving constantly, often aimlessly or just to explore
-- A challenging job, not only to pay bills and help support my family, but also to keep me occupied
-- Notebooks. I randomly write all the time. It's less detrimental and time consuming than worrying or being angry.

-- My future and the path I'm taking to get there
-- Small goals I want to fulfill in the next couple months

No too nights are ever the same. As I said, I'm pretty spontaneous. I might be out at the movies seeing that late night showing, or my buddy's house playing cranium, or out just roaming around, everything always looks so beautiful at night.

-- You're not afraid to have fun, even if it means possibly making a fool of yourself
-- You know there are times you have to be serious
-- You have a future, and it doesn't involve selling yourself or drugs to support your family
-- You're willing to try new things and new experiences, even it means leaving your comfort zone
