Visionary – Energizing – Determined – Outside the Box – Energetic – Appreciative – Dedicated – Open Minded
These are words that others have used to describe me. I like to think of myself as a member of the community who strives to put forth my best effort in everything that I do. I am an Eagle Scout who endeavors to live by the Scout Oath & Law in my everyday life. A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.
