I have been in the Marine corps for 3 years. It has shaped how I view the world around me and has changed the way I even view politics. It has given me a new group of friends and has given me experiences most people will never experience in their entire life. It has taught me live the best life I can for those who dont have the opportunity to finish theirs.

I have always been raised in a religious home. Due to this it has given me a moral code and a set of principles that have helped me guide my life and affect my everyday decisions. Some of these include praying everyday and reading religious text often. Every Sunday I attend religious services where I learn more about myself and relationship with god.

Out of the last 5 years, 7 of them have been in Asia. Most of them being in China and Taiwan. Some people say my Chinese is better than my english and at times it feels that way. I have picked up many habits while living there such as wearing sandals when in my house. It has also taught me a new way of thinking. When I think in Chinese I process things differently which has made me more understanding of Chinese culture.

Despite living most of my life in Asia I will always be an American at heart. It has given me a sense of independence and identity. It has made have a love for cheeseburgers and large family gatherings on the 4th of July. I have learned to love hard work, guns and living the life I want to live.

I have been an avid rugby player my whole life. A sport not sought after by many but one that of great passion. Known for the violence and intensity it has brought joy to many that play. It has taught me how to work through pain and never give up. Many never know the feeling of great triumph until they play the sport. The most unique thing about rugby is after the game you're still great friends with the other team.
