Inauguration

The inauguration is a very special time of year. Particularly this year because it is the first time that an African American has been inaugurated into the presidency of the United States of America. For this particular event I had class for most of the day so I was unable to watch all of the inauguration of President Barrack Obama. However, I did have an hour break in between two of my classes so I grabbed a bite to eat and sat down in the BK lounge and watch about thirty minutes of the lengthy process we call inauguration. Everyone around me was watching the forty two inch flat screen very attentively. Each and ever person was wide awake but speechless as the ABC news station filmed all the politicians and their wives entering into the vicinity of the Capital building, which we all know is located in Washington, D.C. Right about the time Barrack Obama was supposed to give his speech I realized that I had to be at class in less than ten minutes. The inauguration to me was very interesting and I was somewhat disappointed that I was unable to hear President Obama's inauguration speech.

Introduction (A little bit about me)

Well to start off I am from Grand Rapids, Michigan but I currently live in Naperville, Illinois. I am a very open person I love to try new things and do new things. However, I am particularly interested in a few different things. Golf is probably my favorite activity to do depending on the weather. I played four years of high school golf. Junior varsity my freshmen year and varsity golf my sophomore through senior year. Another activity that I am very interested in is snowboarding. Every year I plan a trip with my best friend to Colorado. We go to a different resort every year attempting to spend the least amount of money as possible. While on these trips my buddy and I always make a video of us snowboarding in the trees and shredding the terrain park. Many of these videos are found on youtube. Another one of my favorite things to do is to always have a good time. Whether there is nothing to do or even if there is something to do, I always attempt to make it fun. The way I see it is life is what you make it. I would also say I am very outgoing but at times can be very shy. I find almost everything in the world very interesting, one of my goals in life is to study abroad somewhere in a foreign country. The reason I want to do this is so I can see different parts of the world and to see how those parts of the worlds are different from the life that I live. My last passion is cooking. Someday I want to go to culinary school and later on open up my own restaurant. My personal philosophy is live life to its fullest.
