I looked at my shaking body and slightly laughed sarcastically as white mist came out of my mouth. “3 years of experience in Utah and can’t even stand this temperature?” I spoke to myself.
I examined the environment. It’s nothing like Utah. A scene in Utah flashed in my head; naked trees were shaking violently and thick snow is coating the entire earth.

I 'm a laid back guy, who enjoys spending time with my friends, trying new things, and meeting new people. I love living in the city since there 's always something to do.

Without the slightest doubt in my mind, making Alabama’s all-state honor band is my proudest achievement. Of all the prideful moments in my life, earning a spot in all-state shines brightest of all; it took more effort and dedication than any other challenge I have ever faced.
