If you really knew me...

Very few people really knew me.  What I like, what I don’t like, what bugs me.  I feel like this class helped me let a lot of people know the real me.

If you really knew me, you’d know that I had a hard time with ‘hipster day’.  I’m the type of guy that wears basketball shorts and a t-shirt to school every day.  Isn’t that hipster?  It’s unique and no one else does it.  But I guess I’m more creative when I button my top button and wear glasses that just give me a headache.

If you really knew me, you’d know that I love writing.  I want to be a sports journalist when I’m older and work for ESPN.  I love putting my feelings in words.  I love this class. 

If you really knew me, you’d know that I am very strong in my faith.  I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and I LOVE it.  I am called to serve in the Louisville, Kentucky mission and I couldn’t be more exited! 

If you really knew me, you’d know that a lot of people look sympathetic towards me when I tell them I’m going to Kentucky.  If you really knew me you’d know this is the perfect place for me.  I was born in Atlanta Georgia and I absolutely love the south.  I would be the worst missionary out there if I had to learn a language. 

If you really knew me you’d know that I love sports.  I can’t name a sport I don’t find interesting.  In my life I’ve played, baseball, basketball, football, golf, tennis, lacrosse, soccer, swim, and I am currently on the Lone Peak Men’s Volleyball team (yes, we DO have a men's volleyball team here, kinda wish people knew more about it).  I play setter and I absolutely love it.  Playing or watching, sports is kind of my life.

If you really knew me you’d know my name isn’t Chuck Watts.  My best friend Mason Stenquist’s sister is having a baby, and they are thinking about the name Charles.  They said if I would make Chuck Watts my name, they’d name their boy that.  So I’m hoping he grows up to be famous so I can be responsible for his name. 

If you really knew me, you’d know that I am the one and only….

  4. This is great Austin! I'm proud to say that I guessed it was you at the sports journalist part, and then when I read the Kentucky part I knew for sure! I always love hearing what you have to say.
