Your identity in the 21st century
My name is Brandon Helfer, I am a staten island teenager. I have 8 family members, my mom, my dad, step mom, 2 younger brothers (Justin and Joshua) my older sister Brianna, and my little sister Kayla. my parents divorced when i was only two, but my dad remarried when i was five and regained custody of me. Dad's a bus driver, Mom's a hairdresser, brianna's an assistant manager, Joshua's autistic, Kayla's adorable and Justin's...GODZILLA. I'm a sophomore at CSI highschool. I like playing football and guitar. I've got my "homeboys" Tom and Eric who go to Wagner and even though i don't live by them, we hang out almost every week, and for some reason all of our friends from Wagner call me "slick" for reasons that no one knows. I'm a Mets fan, and, therefore, i believe that the Yankees didn't truly win, the Mets just decided that they should let another team win. I'm also watch football, and am a giants fan. From what my Dad says, i apparently have an evil twin that lives in my attic and when he gets loose, he creeps around in the vents. I feel that i do very well in school and i would do even better if i actually tried. I like to go snowboarding in the winter, but haven't been able to this year because my dad hurt his back...again. I've participated in the walk for autism. I find football to be much fun, because i really can't throw, so it's a sport that I'm good at, but i still like to play other sports.
