I am a very passionate individual. I learn quickly and love creativity, especially in creative writing and the plethora of mediums surrounding the art field, and I also love to problem solve. I write poetry a lot, can paint and use graphic design software, and often philosophize on the next step that many different areas- of-life can be advanced in. Many people say I'm weird, and I guess I am, but I love the connections that my brain makes and give all glory to God. My family is where my diversity comes from; I have an aunt that codes DNA and runs triathlons, three of my uncles work construction, two of which own their own business. I haves aunts and uncles of all different races, and everyone stays busy. My mother received a full-ride to Illinois College, and though she left after only a year, her mental quickness and creative ability has remained keen; her artwork was phenomenal years ago, when she had the opportunity to expand her talents and actually pick up a paintbrush. For Christmas on my mother's side, the family draws names to find out who we have for our secret-Santa drawing; each year we build one-another different items we need about the house or work: chairs, bookshelves, trunks, desks, firewood containers, gun-racks, coat hangers, etc. We are a family of builders, a family of thinkers. I have nearly 40 cousins and 8 aunts and uncles on my mother's side of the family. My father's side is from a very small town, and are also builders, but aren't the most well-off. I get my creativity, also, from seeing great lengths of improvisation put to use in the household, on vehicles, etc. from having lack of capital to afford the top of the line equipment. My father's brother cuts glass and is a tattooist, on top of working a full-time job. On my father's side I have two great-grandparents still alive. My great-grandmother will be turning 87, and her previous husband will be turning 95. My greats are my father's mother's parents, and make a huge impact on my life. My family provides a wide array of wonderfully different influences, also including me with a biological makeup ranging from German, to Irish, and also with a nice chunk of American Indian, though I've heard numerous times that I have had to had a past-life in Egypt. I love God, I'm care-free, and I love to grow and help others grow. I love seeing happiness and helping to create it. I love life.
