well hello there! my name is ransom. i was born on november thirteenth, which makes me fourteen for right now. i attend maplebrook highschool, which is some fancy pants rich school my brother started at once we moved to greenville from seattle when i was only in seventh grade. a long ways, right? i thought so too.

one thing you should know about me is that i try to always put other people before myself. i know, i'm important and have important needs too, but i don't feel like my job in life is to please myself. i know that there are people who need more help and love than i do, so i try to give more than i get. i do a lot of community service, and i love working with foster kids and stuff. i know how much i have and i'm thankful, so why not give that back out to someone who never did? it helps me feel better and much more thankful for my own life, and for all the things that god has graced me with.

i'm also kind of an optimist. i don't really care about what someone's 'rep' is. i try to find out for myself what people are like. a lot of times, people lie because they're mad, upset, or just flat out aren't nice people. i try to make the best out of the situations i'm in, and try to find a bright side in everything. life isn't going to be fun if you can't make it, right? i look past all the bad things and always find it in my heart to forgive people, no matter what they've done to me, though i never forget, and i never judge a book by its cover.

i've come to realize that i truly want to do something great with my life. i want to go out and better the world, either by doing something that works with children or the environment. i don't care how much money i make or how much school i have to do to get there, but i want to do it, and i want to make a difference, whether that's in one persons life or in many peoples lives. that is my biggest goal and ambition. to make a difference and to make the world a better place for at least one person besides myself.

one of my faults would probably be that i talk too much. i'm not quiet, really. don't get me wrong, i love listening to other people, but if nobody is talking, i wouldn't even hesitate to start talking and trying to make friends and conversation. i hate when there are those awkward quiet moments, so i try to fill them with dialogue, whether it's by talking to one specific person or talking to a group. i've been told that because of this simple action i make a good leader, because i can take charge of something and make it easy for group participation.

i know it doesn't seem like something that would come from me, but when i get really upset or mad, i have a big problem with cursing, and screaming, and just being mean. sure, it takes a lot to truly upset me, but when it happens, it's bad, and you should probably stay out of my way. an easy way to get me angry is by being mean to my friends and loved ones, or doing something to me when you know it's going to cause me emotional stress, or sometimes even cry. i'm not a happy camper all of the time, and when i'm not, i go through rapid mood changes.

i was born and raised for a majority of my child and preteen years in seattle, washington. my mom had me at a local hospital and i grew up pretty happy. even through my brothers 'abusive' ways. i don't really understand why he's the way he is to me, but when i was little, he used to lock me in closets and hit me. he's over protective all and all, but still. it's a little scary, mostly because i never really did anything to him at all. but whatever, right? gotta make the best of things, because i know as well as just about anyone else that it could be so much worse than that.

i was around twelve when my family decided to move to greenville because of the job offer my dad got. we packed all of our things and took a plane to greenville while a bus of our furniture and a majority of our clothes were driven to the other side of the country. it wasn't so bad, my friends and i had promised to keep in touch with each other and all that jazz. of course, after a few months we sort of drifted apart and stuff, but that doesn't really matter because they made new friends and i made new friends. the world went on, you know? if you can't be successful where ever you are, then you can never truly be successful, right? that's how i see it, at least.

so, on my first day of school i met this girl, (girl). she was supposed to show me around the school and stuff, like a buddy or whatever to show me the ropes of getting to class quickly. it didn't take long and we just hit it off, and within the following weeks she had pretty much become one of my best friends and slowly became my best friend, and we're still best friends to this day. around the same time, i met my good friend (boy) and we just all sort of became best friends, and we have been since.

we moved through middle school together and in the middle of the summer going into ninth grade, (boy) asked me out, and we've been together ever since. my brother still does the things he used to, and my parents are content in their jobs and our family life right now, so i do believe we'll be staying for a long time, and i'm glad.
