I strive: to be open and accessible to everyone at any time; to make everyone feel loved and comfortable; to do everything to the best of my abilities and then some; to be honest and true in my work and with my friends; to respect every single person I come across, no matter the circumstances or situation; to be a student and teacher of life; to be loyal and trustworthy (Essentially give people what they see, and not be two-faced); to share my life with anyone that wants to be in it; to be passionate about everything I love, not what others think I should love; and to make decisions and take actions that reflect certainty in all that I do.

  4. My goal is to live a life of optimism and hope, even in the times of struggle and hardship to always smile and approach life with a light-hearted attitude so that through my actions and the words I speak, my faith will be clearly voiced; and to incessantly be learning and self-improving; to always give a hundred and ten percent in everything I attempt, so at least if nothing else I can say I went down swinging. Also, to be a gentle and compassionate friend to everyone I have the privilege to meet, at the very least make it a seldom goal to make at least one person smile, forevermore.

  7. (Background information
    I have been attending a summer camp called Geneva Glen for the past nine years. I go to a session called Knight Hood which focuses on the qualities of the knights of King Arthur’s round table. Every year you go through a ceremony and depending on if you showed the qualities and actions of your rank, you obtain it, however if you fail to show the qualities you are held on probation. This past year I earned the rank of Sir Knight, the highest rank one can receive. I hope your not to confused, if you would ever like to talk about it just ask me, I love to talk about Knight Hood)

    My mission statement is never static, never ending but rather constantly growing and changing, moving upward, toward an unreachable, unattainable height, the Golden Star for which it is based on. B.A.S.K., Be A Sir Knight, I have devoted my life to the ideals of a Sir Knight which cannot be expressed through words but rather your actions; to evaluate rather than react, to place my interests last assisting all others in lack or need first, to find my own self-esteem and nurture self-esteem in others, to understand my best self and commit my life to striving to reach it, striving ever thus to maintain the honor of this rank. To guard my castle gate.
