Me, Myself, and I

Energetic, optimistic, and opinionated. These are just a few of the many words that can be used to describe me. I have a wide range of interests, from sports to academics to socialization. My favorite professional sports teams include the Chicago Bears, the Kansas City Royals, and the Boston Celtics. I am a very passionate Creighton Bluejays basketball fan who will rip any Nebrasketball fan to shreds.

You will no doubt hear me at any sporting event that I attend, especially at Creighton Prep athletic contests. (Please see the Sophomore team's Skutt smackdown.) I am the oldest of four children, with a Freshman brother, a third grade brother, and a first grade sister.

I enjoy playing basketball with my brothers and tormenting my little sister. I attended the St. Robert Bellarmine, a primary school that is unparalleled in the Omaha area. I am a very conscientious student whose favorite classes include math and social studies. One of my favorite things to do is bake, from lemon coffeecakes to raspberry bars to snickerdoodle cookies (all from scratch). Although I do not have much time to read for fun during the school year, you can often find me with a good mystery during the summer. I don't have a favorite music genre, instead opting to listen to a wide variety. I have visited a number of national monuments on summer car trips including Niagara Falls, the Washington Monument, Pike's Peak, Navy Pier, and Fort Augustine, just to name a few. My two favorite cities in the United States, other than Omaha, are Chicago and Breckenridge. Pizza is by far my favorite food, with Lou Malnati's deep dish in Chicago being the best that I have ever sunk my teeth into.

I am a "social butterfly" who always enjoys spending time with friends. I have a very out-going personality and try my best to bring a positive attitude to every endeavor. As mentioned in the opening, I am always strongly opinionated and rarely like to back down from a debate. At this point, I am not sure what I want to do with my life, as there are a number of open doors. My English class peers are a dynamic group, and they never fail to make life interesting! I look forward to another semester with them all! At the same time, however, I look forward to June when the Greatest Show on Dirt roles into Omaha, the CWS. I live for the College World Series from the beach balls to the waffle cones to the great atmosphere. It is by far the best part of the year!
