My batteries in my camera are dead and I have yet to get paid so I now have an inactive camera until at least Monday. However, I do have pictures that I would like to share. I like to call this a blast from the past. These pictures are a couple years old and I have not shared these pictures with anyone outside of my family. I am doing this because these pictures may show a little more intimate side of me (No, not that intimate kind of way). I just think it is time. Sorry if the picture are kind of blurred or faded.
This is me when I was at JFK High. I believe this is during Senior Awards. I was a bit conservative when I attended high school. I was the model student and I had to keep that up for the underclassmen. By the way, I sweep up a good amount of the awards. Not much else to say here.
A couple of month before, I took pictures for Valentine's Day. I ended up giving gifts to people. In a way, it was weird because this looks like an elaborate picture taken in another area besides the school. This picture was taken in the middle of my SQL-Oracle classroom during class. I completed my work and then had a little fun with the pictures and the gifts. Good ol' Kennedy.
Why do I have a college directory, you might ask? Well, as a senior, I became a scout for the school for providing college information and tips for where to go to college. I worked as a scout for one of the scholarship programs, the one that is helping me finance my college education- Cleveland Scholarship Programs, Inc. For about three months, I worked with an advisor to promote the importance of going to college, especially as urban youth, to my peers who were juniors at the time. Honestly, I am not sure how receptive the audience was but I think the message hit home for some at least. It was an interesting and one of the reasons why I am so involved in promoting Ohio Wesleyan through the Wesleyan Student Foundation. I love helping others especially those who really want the opportunity to succeed in another way.
Prom day. This is me before gearing up and going to meet my prom date at her house. I was not nervous at all since we already knew each other. The night turned out to be all right. We later went to the movies and that was okay as well. I guess prom somewhat prepared me for formals with my fraternity although prom was tame prepared to formals (I guess high school was a tame experience for me because college is a definite eye-opener).
I know. I would have taken a picture of the front of the house. That will happen sooner or later. For now, the picture of this side of the house is special to me. This is my fraternity, my home away from home. 19 Williams Drive, Delaware, Ohio. This is the residence of the Ohio Beta Chapter of Phi Delta Theta. This is where I live for about nine months out of the year. I used to live on the 3rd floor as one of the new members. Now, as an older member, I reside on the 1st floor in a room that is probably 3x as big and probably too large for me since I do not have a ton of items to put in it (at school I am a bit of a minimalist living-wise). Well, either me or a new member so I took it. Anyway, I am looking forward to another great year in the house and many more surprises. Stay tuned.
For future purposes. This is a random photo I found of what I see as paradise. The Bahamas or another island country. I will love to own real estate down there and enjoy life. This photo captured my attention and gives me perspective on how beautiful life is.
In the states, I love the countryside. I grew to appreciate it in areas such as Colorado during hiking expeditions. I will love to own land that goes for days and view the picturesque backdrops of the country. The peace and the joy that this affords is breathtaking and awe-inspiring.Well, enjoy the pictures of me of my past and the pictures that hopefully represents a part of my future. I got to go catch up with some people.
Looking back to the past and setting my sights to improve the future,
