The most accurate thing anyone has ever said about me is that I'm ambitious. This meaning, when I have my mind set on something, there is no way on earth you're going to change it.
Before I talk too much about myself (which is what this blog is about) I'm going to talk a little bit about my family. My parents met at Wheaton College and married shortly after that. Not long after getting married they had my brother, Ben, and my sister, Elisa. A few years later they decided they were ready to handle a third kid. That's when my second sister, Heather, comes into the picture. 16 years ago, my parents came to the realization that they had yet to have the perfect kid. I turned up instead. I couldn't be more pleased with my family and I would give up anything for them.
If you try to know me by the expressions on my face, you won't know me at all. Even if you grab coffee with me and bombard me with questions, you won't know the real me. The best way to know me is simply through time. The more time you spend with me, the better you'll know me.
If you know me even slightly, you know my passion is basketball. Basketball is what drives me in everything. From the shoes to the game, I love everything about basketball. Through basketball I have developed discipline, drive, and even something to talk about.
I do not strive to fit in and would never compromise my personality simply to be liked. I won't tell you what you should and shouldn't do, it's not my business. Although, I stand strong to my convictions and I'm not afraid to say no to anyone.
I consider it a gift to be ambitious and to have drive and a purpose. I truly believe this will be the reason I succeed in life.
