I grew up in the small town of Covington, Ohio where I lived on a farm.  I went to Concord Elementary School and then went on to Troy High School.  While growing up, baseball has always been an important aspect of my life.  It gave me something to do, but it was also where I met a lot of my friends.  We had several elementary schools, so most of my friends were from the same school.  But since I played baseball, I met a lot of other kids from other schools and I was able to make more friends.  This made the transition to high school easier and more interesting.

I am a freshman here at Ohio State and I am currently studying engineering.  Right now I am in mechanical, but I am still unsure about what I really want to do.  Math has always been one of my favorite subjects, so I wanted to go into a career that I would enjoy.  But in my free time, I like to listen and play music.  I have been trying to learn how to play the guitar and it gives me something to do.  I enjoy rock or alternative music, but my favorite band is the Red Hot Chili Peppers.  But I also enjoy other bands like Muse and Shinedown.

I believe “It is important to spend time by yourself, but you should appreciate the time you get to spend with other people.”  This is one trait that I think most people should follow.  I enjoy having a good time and I try to make the most out of my opportunities.  But you never know how much time you will have with your friends, so you should value the time you get to spend with them.
