Full of Life


My name is Alex. I entered this world beating the odds and  that characteristic has stuck with me to this day. At a young age, I have found a zest for life and live it to the fullest. In my life, I have faced many successes and disappointments that have molded me into the person I am today. My family means the world to me and have stood by me through thick and thin.


My greatest passions in life have are many and come from a wide spectrum. I have been able hear many individuals stories from different walks of life. These stories have helped motivate me to make a change in this world. I hope to inspire others through others stories of hardship, determination, and beating the odds. I once was an underdog, but I was able to overcome the challenges in my life. These trials have molded me into a better person. I want to make a change.


Another passion of mine is traveling. I have been to Europe, Fiji, Canada, and most of the states in America. Seeing the different cultures, architecture, art, and whatever each place has to offer, is amazing.  It has helped culture me and not live in a bubble. My favorite of any place I have been to is New York City. I plan to live there after I graduate from college. The city has a vibrant feel with so many things to offer. 


I have a deep love for sports. My favorites include tennis, soccer, basketball, baseball, and volleyball. I have taken piano lessons for thirteen years and just started playing the organ. I love life and live it to the fullest.
