My name is (name). I am the son of (Parents). I was born on the (birthday). I am by no means
anything extraordinary in origin or beginning. Yet, I feel I am special for one reason: I am me and no
one else is. I have interests my peers do not, I have my own unique goals, and have had my own
unique experiences--all of which make me, me.
If you want to know the truth, I have many interests, but very few get attention. Of all my
interests music, church, and golf probably get the majority of my attention (unless you count my
girlfriend, she occupies most of my conscious time as well as that time I am dreaming). I will state
something now: I can barely read music, and am currently having a bear of a time trying to learn the
piano. Instead, I delight in talent of others. My music collection is shamefully large. At times, I find it
ludicrous at the amount of hard earned cash I blow on the little, thin plastic discs. In fact, my
addiction is so strong that I spent four-hundred dollars on a CD-burner, just so I could make my on
discs. Yet, to this day I still continue to pay full price for new releases--will I ever learn?
As aforementioned, I also have a love for my church. I feel more comfortable amongst the
people at my church than I do anywhere else in the whole world. My closest friends are in regular
attendance and I feel akin to the various other acquaintances present. Other than the fellowship,
God's presence at (church) is overwhelming. I have never felt as strongly about religion in all my
existence. Before, I seemed to hate the world. I had many health problems that not only prevented
me from being involved in many things, but also kept me from school. I basically lived a solitary life
for three years. I hated God for causing me to endure such a curse. I see why now. If I wouldn't
have gotten sick, I would have never met a kid named (name), and he would have never invited me
to attend...
