A description of who I am

I'm a junior in high school in Cincinnati area. Some things I enjoy are playing cello (10 years), playing video games, reading some books, surfing the internet, and sports.

I've come from California, or Fullerton, and I wished I still lived there, but my dad's job brought me here. He got a new job and he works in San Francisco and also in India, because he is a financial manager or something like that for a IT company. Interesting I guess, but he rarely comes back to us in Ohio, and any trip that he comes back to is on a tight schedule. My mom is thinking of going to SF and living with him as soon as I graduate from high school, but we have to renovate the house and pay off the mortgage first. We're hoping his stock option, or the stocks he owns would sell very well when his company goes public, but as of now, it is a private company. He apparently owns a lot. .

I have two sisters who are 24 and 17, and I'm 15 by the way. I will turn 16 in August though. My oldest sister never went to college, but that's a story I'll save for later. My other sister graduated this year and is going to Indiana University in Bloomington for the undergraduate business program. I never was a business person, as JFK's father said, "All businessmen are sons of bitches."

I'm a B-student, something I hope I can change for next year, but the past two years I was sleeping in honors classes, and never applied myself as much as I should have. I'm hoping for a straight-A junior year, but seeing as I'm taking two AP classes, Bio and Physics, that may be hard. Hopefully it'll be good enough to get into at least Ohio State University. I have a 3.3 unweighted GPA and all the GPA-crazy people tell me it's terrible. Crazy how much GPA means today. A C-average was actually not that bad in the 70s, but the damn population has made college admissions difficult, so every kid has to be a 4.0 in order to get looked at by those Ivy League schools. Hell, I don't know why I'm writing about Ivy league when I'm not even close to the grade, but hey, it's somewhat interesting to talk about.

Well that's all for now.
