About Me

  Hi, my names Jake and I'm 18 years old. I was born on October 2, 1991 and I'm an only child. There are many things I enjoy doing and I am a very active person. Some of these activities include basketball, baseball, football, skiing, and whatever else I feel like trying. I am also a very avid weight lifter and have been for the 9 months. It's a great stress reliever and an awesome way to have fun while staying fit. I also just recently got back from spending a month in Germany. It was quite possibly the best experience of my life and I can't wait to go back. For me, the most exciting experience out of my whole trip was when I went to the public viewings of the World Cup in Berlin. It really doesn't get much better than being surrounded by 500,000 drunk Germans and watching them kick England's ass. I live in Watterson Towers with two of my friends from Springfield. Speaking of which, let me tell you more about my life there.
  I've lived in Springfield my whole life, so yes I'm practically and expert on Abraham Lincoln. Springfield's a very boring place and if you are ever presented with the opportunity to go there, don't take it. I've lived in the same house for my whole. I have a dog named Ben and a cat named Midnight. There are five high schools in Springfield and I attended Springfield High School. I plan on moving away from there after college.
  I'm majoring in Criminal Justice with a minor in German at Illinois State University. My ultimate goal is to become a Secret Service agent or a DEA agent when I am older. Both of which are extremely hard positions to achieve and will require me to do very well in school. Wish me Luck!
