Well I suppose I could start at the beginning. I was born on July 13, 1980 at approximately 12:19AM. Just a little fact I stayed at the hospital longer after I was born than most of you have as I had a few weird conditions! :P Well I finally got to go to my home of 18 years half way between Roseglen and Raub, the grand Eugene Myers farm! My parents are Eugene and Eva Myers exciting I know! I have 3 brothers Jeff (30), Joel (28), Jay (25). Jay got married to Bridgette (Egner) on July 21, 2001 so now I have a sister- in-law. My grandparents are/were George and Laura Burchill and Walter and Ruth Myers. Grandpa and Grandma Burchill lived in Lisbon and Grandpa and Grandma Myers lived about 10 miles from where I grew up. Grandma Myers is the only living one at the present. Gpa Burchill died in Nov. 83, Gpa Myers died in July 94, and Gma Burchill died Dec. 98.
Anyways as I grew up I encountered many difficult times and experiences as well as happy and fun ones! First one that probably dramatically affected my life and continues to is my hearing loss experience. My parents didn't discover I was partially deaf until I was nearly 3 years old. After I was given hearing aids by a local audiologist (whom I have great respect for and continue to go to him for all my hearing needs!) I started a whole new life. I started going to school in Minot for kids with hearing loss but then they determined that I was smart and advanced enough to go to a local public school so halfway through my Kindergarten year I started attending Parshall Elementary.
I then went from there to Parshall High School where I played football and also was part of Honor Society and Odyssey of the Mind. Probably the biggest highlight of all them was making state playoffs every year in football and OM we went to the World Finals in Knoxville, Tennessee. I graduated from High School in May of 1998 and that fall I started attending NDSU in Electrical Engineering which I found highly unattractive after a semester so I decided to transfer to NDSCS in Aug of 1999 and started in the Architectural Drafting and Estimating program there which brings me up to now.
Well now I've done graduated from NDSCS and now am living in Fargo working for Midstates Truss Company doing "engineering" for floor and roof trusses for mostly houses. I don't enjoy it too much as its only slightly related to what I went to school for so I'm looking for a different job now. I have a lot of hobbies mostly anything you can think of to do outside I love to do. My favorite time of the year is winter because I love to downhill skiing and watching snow fall etc. I also enjoy hanging out with my friends. I'll try to get some young me pictures up too eventually. |
