We will start this simple. My name is WK. That is all you really need to know. However, like you, I have a family, friends, and opinions. To you, I am text on a screen, but I urge you to look past that, and recognize I am another person, just like you.
To bridge the gap between text and human, here are a few things about myself. I was born in the beautiful Napa Valley, in which I have spent my entire life. It is where I've been schooled and raised. The Napa Valley will never cease to be without me, however a part of me will cease when I am without the Napa Valley. I currently attend Napa High School, where I have just entered my senior year. In other words, I have roughly 230 days until I am done. Thrown into the world brutally. This of course is a dramatization.
I run Varsity Cross Country in the fall, and Varsity Track & Field in the spring. Neither of which I am particularly great at, but both of which have taught me a large amount about heath, and more importantly, myself.When I was younger, until the eight grade, I was an avid basketball player. However, when playing a skirmish with another team, I went up for a rebound along with another player. We clashed, and I fell on top oh him. I displaced three spinal disks and herniated two. I can no longer play contact sports.
Since my freshman year, I have been a part of the Napa High Choir program. I have worked my way through the various levels of choir, and this year I was fortunate enough to make it into the Napa High Chamber Choir. I love to sing.
Academically I've always been a good student, nothing over the top, but consistent enough to get myself into a good college. This year I am taking three Advanced Placement courses, AP Government, AP Environmental science, and of course, AP Composition. Due to the freshness of this year, I have yet to determine the difficulty of these classes, but let me say this; this post is the most work I have had to do yet.
According to a quiz I took in AP government I am a "Solid Liberal". I slightly disagree with this, as I consider myself "Independent lean Democrat". Politics is a center part of my life, as both of my parents have been politically active, and Political Science is a major I hope to study in college.
"College, the final frontier", is a quote that has stuck with me through my years of high school. It is the last academic institution to conquer, the last hurdle to adult hood. My college top college picks are UCSD (San Diego), UC Irvine, and Manhattan College in New York.
I consider myself a family man, as I was raised with two older brothers and three older sisters. I was the youngest. Life growing up was a madhouse, and as each of my siblings went out into the world, life settled a small amount.
My copious number of siblings has landed me with a nephew and three nieces, all of whom I try to spend as much time with as I can. One could say they were the little brothers and sisters I never had.
Hopefully I have persuaded you to see me in a different light, a light that isn't a fluorescent white. I am just like you. The only thing that separates us is the vast expanse of the Internet.
