Hello, my name is Charles Bernard Blumenthal and I'm a senior here at WY. I'm also an avid tennis player, in fact some might say I'm a prodigy. Who says that? I do not know, but it would be cool if people did. Not only do I play tennis, I also play the piano. I'm medium at it. Another hobby I enjoy partaking in is stand-up comedy. I am also medium at that, however, I enjoy it very much.
I got my first job two years ago working for my dad's beanbag company. I stacked boxes and stuff. It was awesome, however, it was time that I pursued my dream of becoming a lifeguard. It was a brutally excruciating process, but in the end it payed off. This past summer I worked at North Avenue Beach, Chicago's most popular and fun beach to work at. I made tons of new friends and even got to save a few people. I don't really know what I want to be when I grow up. When I was younger I wanted to be Spiderman, however, it seems that job is not available/non-existent, and I've run into similar issues with Superman and others, so I've found myself completely out of options.
As a child diagnosed with severe ADHD, I find myself "mentally wandering" quite a bit. However devastating these "wandering" sessions are to my grades, I find that I've pondered about some pretty fascinating ideas about life that are somewhat mind expanding. I guess that's what really drove me to take this philosophy class, because I get the sense that I literally don't even have to space out in order to discover those radical ideas, I just have it told to me, so that's cool. Ya know I never really made this connection until now, but I am most definitely an awful lifeguard. It's like 8 hours of straight up spacing out, I mean who knows how many people drowned while I was on duty...? Just kidding probably none, but still.
On that note, I would like to conclude my introduction to this class, and I'm looking forward to a very fun year here in room 116.
