My ability to grow, change, and adjust.

What do you treasure the most?
Opportunity.
Tell us about your first kiss.
I was walking a girl home (we liked each other), she ran ahead and – I think – pretended to fall down. When I caught up to check on her, she totally jumped me. I had no idea what I was doing so I just stuck my tongue as far into her mouth as possible and hoped for the best.
