My Profile
My name is Matt Strum and I am 15 years old. I live in Satellite Beach, Flordia. I am in the 9th grade. I have three brothers, all of which are very successful so far. I am the youngest of the four of us.
My interests are anything about computers, games, any cool technology, skiing, soccer, basketball, making websites and many more. I have lived in Achorage Alaska, washington DC, Wichata Falls Texas, Rochester New York, and I was born in San Antonio Texas. My dad is a colonel in the Air Force, which explains why I have lived so many places.
I have been in a few plays. My favorite play was "Your A Good Man Charlie Brown". I was Snoopy in that play, which was the most crucial part, I thought. I had two solo songs I had to sing and say the most lines. Ironicly, Charlie Brown didn't have the most scenes. I have also been in Oliver. I have been told by the director in each play I was the best actor. I was acceppted to go to a model convention, but I had to move at the same time the convention was going on. I was acceppted to be a role in a movie, called "The Atomic Paper Boy" but the movie was cancled.
I live right by Cape Canaveral and I get to watch the space shuttle and rockets launch up. It's really an amazing sight. Another amazing site that I saw was the Aurora Borialis (Northern Lights) when I lived in Alaska.
Sofar for my freshman year, I have maintained a 3.6 with 7 periods. My classes include Computers & Bussines skills, English Accellerated honors, Biology Honors, German 1, Geomatry Honors, Life management (a required course), and World History honors. I won 1st place at a state engineering fair for airanotics. I am a senater for the Freshman Student Government. I have never been in the same school twice! I was homeschooled for about two years. I went to kindergarten in public school, but then I went to being home schooled for 1st through second grade. After that, I either moved every year, or the school was closed to be renavated.
I have played many instruments in my life so far. For my sixth grade year, I played the violin and went to All-County Orchestra that same year. For my seventh grade I started playing the trombone. I then continued to play the trombone in my eighth grade year. During my eighth grade year, I was in "All-county Band", I won a supperior in "Solo and Ensamble", and I marched with my band. I have been playing the piano for many years, I think I started playing it in the third grade. I have had fluxuating lessons, where I will stop for a year, but then start the next. I am curently taking lessons.
I want to get a degree in something like computer science, comp. engineering, comp. programing, or something along the line. I love working with computers and I take every chance to add some type of computer graphic to my project. One project I did, was I set up a camera and video taped myself like I was talking on the news. Then, with my father's help, I went to our audio/visual studio and I added in clips of other movies and I had images of what I was talking about, floating next to me, like what you see in the news. |
