Who Am I Essay, Research Paper

Who Am I?

Believe it or not, I find very difficult to talk about myself. I think that the only way to accurately describe myself is to give a little background information. I was born in Indianapolis, where I have lived my whole life. I live in an old three-story farmhouse, which was built in the 1780?s. It has been remodeled somewhat since then but all of the woodwork is the same. The surroundings are beautiful, like a calendar picture. The house sat on about 15 acres of land. Most of that was in the woods and there was a small stream that ran through it. As a child, I was very adventurous. It seemed like every day I would travel further and further from my house. I was always the one who was curious about how far we could go and what else could we do. My friends looked to me as a leader.

As I got older, I realized that I had some athletic talent. I began to play just about every sport that I could for my elementary school and middle school. Baseball, and football were the two sports that I excelled at all during high school and now in college.

Even though sports took up a lot of my time as a child and as a teenager, I felt that there was something missing in my life. It is something that made me who I am today and still works through me daily. I am talking the love of my personal savior Jesus Christ. It took me 14 years of my life to realize how lost I was without him. He comes before everything in my life. That is why I am proud to say that I am a Christian. If I did not have Christ in my life I would not be the great person who I am today.
