Self Portrait

 

 

16 and confused. Who am I supposed to be and what am I supposed to do?

17 and unhappy. No friends, no point. School doesn't mean anything to me. What a waste of time...

18 and free. I can do what ever I want now! What do I want to do?

19 and figuring this life thing out. Saving lives and finding my passion. I never thought I'd find a passion.

20, freshman again. Maybe school wasn't such a bad idea. Maybe I'll be the first graduate in my family.

21 and loving life. I hated school? How could I possibly hate school??? I can't get enough of this!

22 and burned out. I liked school? I thought I could reach my goal? It's time for a break...

23 and starting a two year fast from the world. No TV, no internet, no friends, no dating, NO school. Just God and me.

24 and happy. I've never been happier. I'm helping people every day. I feel like I understand me more than I ever have. I'm happy when I'm making other people happy.

25 with a new perspective. Hello TV; hello internet; hello friends; hello girls; and HELLO school! I missed you all.

Almost 26 and married. I love life; I love it's ups and downs. I love learning. I love my wife and I look forward to what the future holds for me. I know a lot and I know so little. I want to know everything.
