1. I'm eighteen-years-old.
2. I graduated as valedictorian of my high school class. I guess I could be classified as a "nerd"--the cool type, obviously. ;)
3. I'm working toward a Bachelor's degree in physics and secondary education, with the goal of becoming a high school physics teacher. I then plan on climbing up the ranks to ultimately become the superintendent of a school district.
4. I became an uncle at the age of ten. At first I believed I was way too young to take on such a role, but looking back, I would not change it for a thing!
5. I have a unique obsession with school supplies...or buying school supplies and getting insanely good deals on them. July-September is the most wonderful time of the year, right?! (For example, today I scored Crayola Colored Pencils for 50 cents. Talk about a good deal!)
6. I love the arts and believe that they need to be an integral part of school curricula. I've been in several art classes as well as band, chorus, and musicals and their impact on my life has been indescribable.
7. If you asked me to name my favorite place to eat, I couldn't narrow it down to one, so here are some of my favorites: Penn Grille Restaurant, Moe's, Cracker Barrel, and Texas Roadhouse.
8. I'm a small group leader in the kids' ministry at my church and it is one of my favorite things. Better yet, I started leading when I was in my early teenage years. Don't let anyone tell you that you're too young to change the world!
9. My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving because I love Thanksgiving food (especially green bean casserole), traveling to my grandparents' house, and having the anticipation of knowing that Christmas is a month away! Don't get me wrong: I love Christmas, but once that is over, the holiday season is pretty much over too. And that makes me sad.
10. I'm no stranger to the blogging business, as I started one up in middle school, but didn't continue with it. In the midst of a homework-free summer and on the brink of starting college, I'll have more time on my hands to blog and I'm determined to stick with it!

Thanks for reading and beginning this journey with me! I hope you'll stick around (a new post each Tuesday!) as we travel through this crazy whirlwind known as life!
Sincerely,
