Who You Are Matters

 I am from Lancaster, Pennsylvania. It is home to the Amish and many other things. Rich farmland encircles a typical American suburbia and a vibrant city. I am going home to work after college and am extremely excited. I have a job in asset management and would like to go to business school later in life. I will work hard to get there. My parents have bestowed a strong optimism, hustle, and sense of curiosity upon me. While they are more reserved, I think I am slightly more out there. After nearly four years in university, I have developed some standards that I evaluate myself with every day. That said, most of these are not specific to me but would be viewed as generic by most. Even so, I strive to keep my brain and body in good working shape. Marcus Luttrell is a massive role model for me, and I deeply admire the no-quit attitude and humility he possesses. Given my many years competitively swimming, I would compare myself with the energy of a dolphin for their love for water, sense of curiosity, and ability to have fun. In my neighbor's backyard, there was a massive pine tree that my buddies and I would climb for hours on end. We would sit atop its sticky branches and talk for hours, while other times, we would just sit listening to the wind. For my astrology signs, I am a Rising Gemini, Sun Aquarius, and Moon Aquarius.
