Today I am a little further behind with my educational goal then I had planned. I am easily distracted, it can be very hard for me to stay focused on one topic all the way through. At this point in life I am hoping I have matured to the point where I can continuously remain focused. My goal was originally an outdoor recreations degree, now I have changed my major to a business transfer degree in hopes to continue educating myself in both subjects. I am very passionate about the outdoors and also being happy and for me these two go hand in hand. My overall goal for the last two or so years has been to create or take over a resort, a slightly different resort then I have seen so far. I want to show people what life can be if you let it. This world has so much to offer and I hope to help people release some of their stress not to mention give them something to look forward to when their vacation time rolls around.

Some things I find interesting about myself would have to be the way my brain works I am constantly striving to push myself, jump off higher cliffs, sing louder, be smarter. Brain and body my goal is to see what I am truly capable of. I have off days and I have extremely good days the goal is to find a balance to defeat this bipolar life wave that we all seem to take a ride on. Although even on a rough day I manage to learn new things. I am a Taurus and according to some reading in an astrology book doing things I find an interest in is a breeze, the challenge comes when I am learning something I have no interest in. In these moments the information I receive goes in one ear and out the other.

I was born in Miami, Florida in 1999 and lived there until around 2012 my parents separated in 2009 for the first time me my mom and little brother left for a while till my father showed back up in our lives. In 2012 we finally moved away to my mother’s hometown Middleport, NY. This is in western NY and let me just say it was great to get away, believe me when I tell you I made some stupid decisions. I can’t tell you if it was the freedom of being away from my father, some kind of anger unleashing, boredom, or pure stupidity. All I can tell you is that I still can’t believe someone could be as careless as I had been. They always say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger and I just might have to agree with that one. The person I’ve become and still becoming well I wouldn’t change it for the world. We learn from our mistakes and I like to think of it as getting it all out of the way, although there may be a few more waiting for me.

My hobbies are the love and light of my life. Getting to snowboard gives my life a purpose. I understand for some people they would think saying this is foolish. Sure I love a good debate nevertheless I don’t believe one person’s passion could be superior to others so long as you are doing what you love. This could be teaching, growing grapes to make wine, painting, running, passion is passion no matter what you decide and for me sailing over cliffs or racing straight down the steepest part of the mountain is what puts a smile on my face. Like I mentioned before the way my brain works I can’t explain, however, I manage to go after what interests me. Snowboarding is my number one yet cliff jumping, hiking, skydiving, rock climbing, skateboarding, swimming, all of these things and more show me what we are capable of and more importantly what I as one person am capable of.
War Horse, this is a movie I just can’t seem to forget the name of. This movie I only watched once yet It’s the first movie that came to mind. What I remember is the horse and soldier being challenged, constantly being put to the test and having lost so many along the way. They were picked at over and over like a crow picking at fresh road kill. I remember an orange haze in the background, I remember the gas grenades the soldier survived and the barbed wire fence the horse ran through. This movie caused me to feel scared and sad, lost and confused about why there were so many battles to face alone. It wasn’t till the end of the movie that I began to feel moved, how the blind soldier and the butchered horse came to find each other again and knowing that it was them. Well it gave me hope and fear, I can’t remember where I was when I watched this movie, whether it was in theatres or in my living room. I know I am interested to see what comes to mind when I watch it.
