About+Me

Hi, my name is Andrew and I am 17. I am going to be 18 on the ides of March. I am nice and like to meet new people. Im shy but once i get to know you I will open up alot more and be more open minded and out spoken. I am a very spiritual and religious person. I firmly believe in God and I go to Church ever sunday. I am a conservative and a patriot. I love America and can't thank God enough for putting me in such a great place. I love my family and friends and can't be happier with what I have. I have an older brother in college. We get into fights alot but also look out for eachother everyday. I also have a younger sister who as annoying as she is, i love her to death. I don't realy like to analyze myself, I usually leave that up to other people, I don't worry to much about what other people think of me. I am a senior in highschool and I will admit i am lazy when it comes to school. I do just enough to get by. Im not the type of person to be running around like crazy worrying so much about colleges and homework. I find that grades are just numbers and letters and they do not tell where we will be in life. We are only young once so why not enjoy the young years while we can doing crazy things that will never be forgotten and will someday be looked back at when we are older and it will give us something to laugh at. I am a very laid back person, i sit back and watch things happening, i like to observe things and understand them more. I usually ponder a lot or daydream about other things when in school. I played football for two years. I started both years as a WR (Wide Receiver) and a CB or DB(Corner/Defensive Back). I loved the game and at the time it was my life. I miss it to this day and wish i kept playing. I also love to golf. I learned from my father. My father taught me alot of things, he taught me how to be a gentleman and he was always strict when it came to manners. I also love the outdoors. If there is any chance to get outside, i'll be there. I hate days when i get stuck doing nothing inside. Earth has so many beautiful places. I love hiking and mountain climbing. I go at least twice a week alone or with my cousin. Its so peaceful standing at the top of a 2500ft mountain all alone breathing in fresh air. All worries are gone and the weight of the world is lifted off your back. It truely is a place that is closer to heaven. It is a great place to really think about things. I love seeing new places, places no one has ever been before. I have many goals in life, long-term and short-term. The goal i am really focused in on right now is a long-term goal. I want to be a U.S. Navy SEAL. I have aspired to be one for such a long time. I was alsways into that military type stuff. It always sparked my interest. I first heard of the Navy SEALs in 7th grade. I began looking more and more into them, and everytimne i did so, i got more and more interested. Now here i am five years later already sworn into the Navy on my way to being one. I sometimes stop my self and everything around me and try to believe that this is actually happening. A long time dream is actually peiceing together and becoming true. My grandfather was in the Navy as a deisel mechanic. He was also in the invasion of Normandy. He was a machine gunner on an LCVP (Landing craft, vehicle personnel). There job was to bring the troops from the ships to the beach and then back again. He was in Omaha beach doing this. He tells me incredible stories from the war, never really likes to talk about it though. I love my grandfather and he teaches me alot. One quote that he told my father, which my father told me is "Give a man a crutch, and you make him a cripple." I will never forget that quote. I live by quite a few quotes. Heres one i like, "Let him who desires peace prepare for war." ~Flavius Vegatius Renatus. My Motto is, "Do Justice. Walk Humbly. Love greatly." So just have fun with life and enjoy it because we only live once. It may seem like we will never grow up but in the blink of an eye you will be 65-70 years old with grandchildren climbing all over you, so have fun with your young years.
