Chris Beebout- Assignment 1

     Hello! My name is Christopher Beebout, but most people save their tongues the effort and settle for Chris. This year, I hope to maintain good grades and pass all of my AP tests, as well as to develop more of my skills in debate.
     While I study, I enjoy listening to Sabaton (a Swedish heavy metal band that sings about historical battles), or various movie/video game soundtracks. I enjoy intense music; it always makes my actions seem much more important than I would otherwise conclude. While I procrastinate, I enjoy reading and gaming (on PC— none of that console trash). I like to fill my life outside of school with church, volunteer work, and sunny walks.

     As far as geeking goes, I ponder religion and the human identity extensively. I believe that everyone has a responsibility to contemplate their place in the world; that’s the only way any of us will figure out how we can make the world better. But I’ve also come to realize that who we are “meant to be” is not always for us to know. One character from the epic webcomic Homestuck phrased my sentiments perfectly:

     "I think we are given roles to challenge us that don't necessarily suit our strengths. At least I was. I have no idea what I'm doing here."

     Right now, I have the role of a student, and although I’m not the best writer, I look forward to the challenges that this class has to offer me.

     Also here's a video I like because my image wouldn't load: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhT_xi7RXPw
