Day 2 - A picture of you y the person that you have been together with the longest


This was really easy for me to choose, since I have one little brother who is only 2 years younger than me.

I was 5 when my parents finalized their divorce y Tay was 3. We grew up together. No matter what happened to one of us, it happened to the other one, because it was just the two of us, since my mom had to work to be able to support our little family. Taylor y I ran Cross-country together, we had the same interests, etc.
I learned at a young age that he looked up to me y when I heard him say a “choice” word I pinned him to the wall y told him never to use that launguage again. He looked at me y said, but you say it. After that experience with my brother, I tried my hardest to be a better example to him.

He was married almost 3 months ago y he is so happy. I am so glad that our relationship is transforming into an adult relationship y that he is married. I want the best for my brother y I will do anything to protect him y his family, it’s what I do.

Day 1



Day one is a picture of yourself y 10 facts about you.




Version:1.0 StartHTML:0000000105 EndHTML:0000007072 StartFragment:0000002338 EndFragment:0000007036

1. I love sports. I didn’t start playing them until I was a freshman in high school. I can tell you that if it wasn’t for cross-country I would have easily gotten into drugs or I would have been a dad at the age of 17 or 18. I learned a lot about working as a team to obtain what you want y as I mentioned, it helped me become the man that I am today.

2. I love to read. Ever since I was a little kid, I have found escape in the pages of books. I would stay up late trying to finish a book, just so that I could start another. When I was in 3rd grade, the librarian told me that I was reading books to advanced for my age y when I was in 6th grade, they wouldn’t have any books that I could read.

3. Country music has become something that I cherish. I started listening to it because of a girl, most of the goods things in my life have come around because of a girl, y I fell in love with it. It’s what I listen too, when I am having a hard day y I need to relax a little.

4. I love my family, along with sports, I would not have become the man I am today. My mother, brother y I have been through a lot of trials in our short lives but we’ve always had one another to help each other get through it.

5. I love movies. I love movies that make you think or that have a good moral. I honestly do not like movies, like Scott Pilgrim, that are just dumb or have no redeeming values. One of my favorite movies is called Adam.

6. I have no self confidence when it comes to females. I was engaged once y the girl ended it by telling me that it didn’t feel right. I have no hard feelings towards her, but I never was given a reason, besides that it didn’t feel right. In the end, I wasn’t good enough for her, she is actually getting married in a couple of months y I am excited for her, because she found someone that will make her happy. When I meet a girl, I automatically assume that there is a better guy out there for them, so I don’t try because I don’t think that I can take another rejection by an amazing girl.

7. I love people. I want to be a social worker when I am done with college. I want to help people learn how to help themselves and work through their issues. When I meet someone I truly try my hardest to build a good rapport with them, so that I can get to know them better y hopefully they’ll trust me to allow me to help them. If they don’t know how much you care, they don’t care about how much you know.

8. I am a spiritual person. I consider my religion to be very important to me. I have learned a lot about myself by making mistakes, but also by doing what is necessary to correct those mistakes by the power of the atonement.

9. I loved my cat. He passed away a couple of weeks ago y I miss him. I used to sit there y talk to him about what was going on in my life, because I never felt like I was burdening him, but that he loved my company. We were together for 17 years y we grew close. My mom used to call Momo, my dog. I used to be able to whistle for Momo whenever I was outside, and he would come running to me. In the later years in his life, he used to come to my window at night y meow so that I would let him in to sleep with me, I always let him in y I would wake up around 6-7am to put him outside, so that my mom wouldn’t come down and see him.

10. I love to travel. I have been fortunate to travel to different countries, Argentina, England, Ireland, Mexico y Canada, in my life. I have been exposed to many different life styles, y I have a good concept on how life works outside of my sheltered little community. I love meeting new people as I travel y truly getting to know another culture and how they live life.
