My favorite memory ...

One of my favorite memories was giving a speech in front of my hometown when I was in seventh grade and receiving a standing ovation.

I am currently reading Tommy Nelson's The Problem of Life with God.

My first job ...

My inspiration ...

I am inspired by the people I meet, the music I love, the shows I watch, but most of all, I am inspired by my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
