I like to play sports even though I may not be the best. In the summertime I love to going camping, boating and bonfires. Also summer is great for going to the beach, getting a tan and relaxing in the lake. My friends and family are a big part of my life, and they are my favorite people to hang out with.

Brady James Murphy is 22 years old and he is my step brother. On May 27th 2009 Brady was in an accident near Onawa, Iowa. He was working on a power line when he switched two lines and had a deadly jolt of electricity run from his left arm through his heart and then to his right arm. Brady had burns on his face and arms, and was rushed to the emergency room in Lincoln, Nebraska. My family and I waited for all of his surgeries and he finally came home about two months later. He had his arms amputated and is he expecting to get prosthetics very soon. Brady is an inspiration, even though this tragedy has happened he still tries his best to be positive and live his life. Brady broke records at the amputee Olympics, which is amazing. He is my brother, inspiration, and hero.

My goal when I graduate from college is to become an elementary teacher. I would really love to be a kindergarten teacher because I love that age from 5-6. If I were not to become a kindergarten teacher I would like to be a sixth grade teacher.

In ten years I see myself married with at least two children and working as a teacher. I’d really like to move to Arizona because I have not been out of the Midwest and Arizona is appealing to me. Also I see myself in a nice house with a big backyard.
