Who I Am
Family. Family and friends are very important to me. I especially cherish the time I get to spend with my younger brother.
Country. The American experiment is unique and worth fighting to protect and improve. Doing so requires active engagement from each citizen.
Growth. Intellectual, physical, and spiritual advancement are important components of all fulfilling lives.
