Andrew "Gingerbread" Elmdanat
Intellistudent of the Week, 4-25-07

Ok, well... I am a very interesting fellow. First of all, The basic information... I am 18. I graduated early from high-school and currently attend college in AZ. Secondly, I hate conformity. I mean, why would people want to change in order to make themselves what others think as "cool" or "right"? I mean, where is the creativity and self-respect in that? I am a Christian. Wait, before I go on... when I say christian, I am saying that I follow Jesus Christ, NOT the church. I disagree with most christians actions and/or words. This is mostly due to the fact that most christians have no idea what Jesus actually taught. Anyway, I love debating and deep conversations. One of my favorite things to do when I am bored, is just to go and search for quotes of any sort and think about them. I have expanded my mind so much just by looking at what brilliant people had to say in a short sentence.

I love sports! I played football all throughout high-school and love backyard football. Also, I wreslted and ran track. I got really big into track and I could have taken it to the next level but I was sacrificing too much for my liking. What is the point at being great at something if you have to give up other stuff that you were already great at? I was cutting into my work, church, and school. Gah! Anyway, I work for a christian school running an afterschool program for 4th grade -9th grade. I wouldn't trade anything for this job. I build relationships and get to be a big brother to 30 some kids and teens. I love it.

Ok, so a little about my personality... I am very spontaneous and I love throwing people off. I believe in peace no matter what and so I try to be very slow to anger and quick to love. I trust everybody until given a reason not to.

Ok, so my history... I have had two step-fathers that have both died. I haven't seen my mom in 6 years. I don't want to see my brother although he comes around sometimes. I live with my darling sister and my father and mother(step-mother). I have had a very rough past and I don't want to get into it. BUT For those of you who believe in karma... lets just say that I have a heck of a lot of positive karma coming my way and maybe it is part of the reason why I have such a great life right now.

Thanks for taking the time to read about me and my life. :) STAY COOL!
