What Best Describes Me

            Every person in the world has a personality.  Some people’s personalities change throughout their life, while others remain the same.  It is a difficult task to try to give insight as to what kind of person I am, however I believe a computer, digital camera, and my Top Thrill Dragster hat represent me the best.

            A computer represents me very well, as virtually everything I do can be involved with a computer.  I use my home computer, which is a Dell Dimension 4600C with a 19” Dell Flat Screen Monitor, for practically everything.  From searching the web to designing websites, I have the power to influence the information people around the world can access.  Computers are one of my biggest hobbies and I have learned how to maintain, improve, and fix computers running on the Windows XP operating system.  With this knowledge, I have found myself at the mercy of my friends who are in the need of computer advice.  I have spent countless hours repairing friends’ computers without compensation, as I would never ask for any monetary value for doing something I love.  By continuing to help others with their computer problems, I am constantly learning more about computers and how they operate.

            Photography also plays a major part in my life.  Using a Fujifilm FinePix S5000 digital camera I can capture any moment I wish, whenever I want.  Primarily I photograph Cedar Point Amusement Park, as I am attempting to create a database of pictures for future reference.  I also am interested in becoming a yearbook photographer to help with our excellent yearbook at Bay High School.  Cedar Point is my most photographed place, and it also represents who I am.

            One of my most prized possessions is my Top Thrill Dragster baseball hat.  I do not really know why it is so special to me, but I never leave home without it.  It represents my passion for Cedar Point and the magic that makes people smile there.  I love to make people happy and at my job at Cedar Point, I do it all the time.  As a Games Host, I work the midway games in the park and award prizes to guests if they can pass a challenge.  Kid’s faces light up whenever they see one of their parents win a giant Elmo or a Scooby-Doo. By wearing my Top Thrill Dragster hat, I am constantly reminded of the fun I can put into others lives at Cedar Point.

            A computer, digital camera, and Top Thrill Dragster hat all give insight into my character.  Character is a trait everyone has, but not everyone knows what kind of character he has.  By looking at these three objects, I have been given insight into my character.
