Alex's Bio
I'm 19 years old and I currently live on the north side of Chicago. I love watching and playing sports especially baseball, basketball, and football. I graduated from Niles West High School in 2007, I recently just changed my majors and switched schools from Kendall College where I was going for a Culinary Arts degree, to Oakton Community College where I can get my associates degree in journalism and hopefully transfer to Penn State to get my Bachelors. I currently work for the Niles West Marching Band as a drill instructor and I am starting at Jimmy Johns!!!!
I welcome all feedback whether positive or negative, as I hope to grow as a writer.
Cheers!!!
May you never run through writers block!!! Keep up the good work everyone!!
Oh and.. GO CUBS GO!!!
Favorable Quotes:
"The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me or nobody is going to hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much can you take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! "
- Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone)
"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. I can't accept not trying." - Michael Jordan
