There are many people in my life that have inspired me‚ and I look up to many people‚ one in particular is my grandma. There are so many things that she has gone through many situations good and bad in her life‚ but she has never let it set her back.

Finally the time has come for me to go home; I step out into the warm Vegas air‚ I can smell the familiar scents of fall slowly encroaching on the city. September in Vegas is typically

I started my first year of college with my life prearranged. I had a ridiculous notion that everything was going to be a piece of cake. I was going to join different clubs‚ do lots of research‚ make the dean’s list‚ make my parents proud and attend as many parties as I could. However‚ now when I look back‚ I realized that I was too comfortable in my life. I thought I was ready to overcome every obstacle that was thrust upon me but I was sadly mistaken.

The more I thought about it‚ the more I could only recall freshmen year in high school as being a time where I was living two lives. I attended a

My dad was the person that named me Brian. Knowing him‚ I was pretty lucky to get a normal name. I’m surprised that it wasn’t something strange or funny-sounding. My siblings have pretty normal names too. My brother is William and my sister is Jennifer. My middle name is Robert.
