Brief History
I was born in Chicago in August of 1990, possibly the worst month to have a birthday. Make sure you don't impregnate your woman of choice in the months of November-January, your children will NOT like you. I grew up in Libertyville for all but 3 years of my life, so I guess you can say it's my hometown.
Grade School
Junior High was one of the best times of my life, and I still have many of the same friends I had then (it really wasn't that long ago, but whatever. :P ). I proved to be a history and math wizz, and was was in all the accelerated classes. I played baseball and hockey, but was much better at baseball than hockey. 3rd base was my primary position, but in 8th grade I began playing left field extensively on my travel team. I was on the 1st place team for Future Problem Solvers in 7th-8th grade, and 7th place in the state of Illinois for the Stock Market Game in 7th grade.
High School
Rather than going to the public school with the rest of my friends, I seized the opportunity to go to a very nice private school for less than half of normal tuition. Albeit my parents urged me to take the offer, I still thought of it as a way to meet new people while getting a higher level of education. Unfortunately, I lost almost all communication with the majority of my friends, and only stayed in touch with the closer ones I knew from grade school. I played JV football freshman year, which wound up being one of the best decisions of my life, seeing as I made numerous friends via the team. I'm now focusing primarily on history classes, my favorite and best subject, but also am enrolled in high-level math, government, and economics courses.
The Future
Either MSoE, MSU, or ISU for college -- engineering obviously.
Anyways...
Enough about me, if anyone has any questions, help they could offer whether it's Eagle Scout suggestions, college, etc., just leave a note on this page's talk page with your name/date and I'll see if I can help ya' out... or let you help me out. :P
