Hmmm. I am a person naturally inclined to the more right side of thinking. I
find a sense of pleasure and fascination in creativity and the power of painting
an image to another person. This theme has been thread throughout my life in
various aspects. Since I was a small tot in southern Tennessee I wrote and
performed my own adventures and tales about wandering princesses and Jedis
hoping to find their way back home. Nowadays I still write, except today it is
more about the distinct power of a human life rather than tales about forging a
lightsaber… though I must admit Star Wars will always be wonderful, no matter
how bad of an actor Hayden Christensen is. I plan to study this fall at a
University (currently being decided) and hope to double major in Film Studies
and English Writing. My dream is to be a full time screenwriter and hopefully
work for a television series. We shall see what happens. In the meantime I am
still discovering who I am as a person. I currently live in Dayton, Ohio and
attend a Christian high school where I am in a class of 105 students. I haven’t
always lived in Ohio though. I have previously lived in the aforementioned
Tennessee and also Kansas City, Missouri. I have grown up in the church and
believe the Bible’s fundamental teachings, however as time has gone on and I
have grown older my perception of many of the non-mandates of Scriptures have
shifted in my viewpoint. I am still testing and still probing to fully discover
what it is I believe, a lifelong process. I am involved with the fine arts
department at my school, meaning I perform in every dramatic production my
school puts on. ….. I’m running out of things to say. Ha. I hope this has
shown a little of who I am and cannot wait to express myself fully to all of the
wonderful people involved in the Adventures in Missions organization. I’m sure
all of you are each inspirational people that will be valuable to any young man
or woman’s life. Oh, and one more thing. I love people.
