: About Me

Hi my name is Christopher Towle (obviously), but you can call me Chris for short of course. I'm in the Army National Guard currently and I'm working my way to be a Black hawk pilot. I'm just a senior in high school this year and I'm really excited to get out of that school. I'm smart, but I suck at playing school. My English teacher always says, "Grades are a waste of time, because students get so caught up on trying to get good grades that they don't learn anything. There's a difference between knowing and memorizing." In my opinion he's right. I know a kid who's in special ed, but yet he can build an engine from scraps. I'm very opened minded, though. I can understand why we have grades and i can understand why we shouldn't. If you'd like to know more you can contact me through e-mail (goochius@hotmail.com).

A million tears Bring me to my knees As weakness cheers And help is deaf to my pleas Failure shows no sympathy When the pain comes down hard With nothing but apathy For every turn of a card Dreading every day For what might come tomorrow Trying every way To veer from the sorrow Seconds are so long And happiness so bleak Where did I go wrong To make me feel so weak A million tears Crash down on me What all of my fears Just took from me
