mitch mega-boss gemmer autobiography

Crazy, Asian, and brown like a raisin, except for not wrinkly a.k.a. Crasian. That’s me, how did I get that nickname? Let me tell you the story. I got my nickname Crasian my freshman year in high school. The homecoming football game was going on at my boarding school and my friends and I were hanging out in my friend Cody’s car. We were driving around the campus because we were bored and there was nothing else to do, so we started talking and decided to drive off campus while we were talking my friend Cody said, “hey Mitch we need to find a nickname for you.” At that time we were heading back to campus to pick up some other people. Once we got back to the campus we picked up Dana and her boyfriend Jarred as well. After picking them up we headed back off campus to the mall and chilled there for a while. While we were there we decided to go into the Victoria’s Secret store. All of a sudden my friend Cody dared me to buy and wear a miniskirt around the mall. At first I said no but then I realized it would be funny to walk around the mall wearing a miniskirt.so Cody bought me a miniskirt and I wore it around the mall and for the rest of the night. My friend Dana when she first saw me wearing a miniskirt in the Mall said holy crap creepy Asian kid is wearing a miniskirt. When we got back to campus Cody said “yo I got a nickname for you Mitch” “Crasian.” The rest of us were like what? That doesn’t make any sense. Cody was like yeah it does, Crasian as in crazy Asian and brown like a raisin. And I was like except for not wrinkly. And so that’s the story of how I got my nickname.

My real name is Mitchell I am 16 years old a junior in high school and from Naples Florida. I am 5 foot 10 ¾ inches and in excellent shape. I am diagnosed with ADHD/ADD, and ODD so as you can imagine most aspects of school are difficult for me, however that does not mean I’m not a smart person .I am highly excelled in science, math, history and reading. My sophomore year I took both physics and chemistry which completed all of my requirements for science. I did so well in those classes that for my junior year I was recommended to be a TA in both of those classes. However that did not happen as now I am currently enrolled in SOAR. However I am not upset that I’m not a teacher’s assistant in those classes because from my senior year when I return to my previous school they will probably allow me to be a TA.

I come from a family of five, am the oldest one and adopted my background is part South Korean and part Jamaican. My family consists of my mother Linda my father Tom and my brother Owen and Joy my sister as well as myself. My sister is eight months younger than me also a junior in high school and currently on the flag line at her high school. My brother is a freshman in high school and about 2 ½ years younger than me. He is just as smart if not smarter than me, My brother and I are both avid readers and are constantly trying to out read each other. My brother also enjoys soccer. My family is extremely important to me because if they hadn’t adopted me I could possibly be living in an orphanage.

My favorite and most memorable activities are fishing, Whitewater kayaking, gaming, and the summer family reunion at Emerald Isle each year. There are so many stories from each of these activities that it is too hard for me to pick out just one to share. However if I had to choose a memory it would be the first time I went fishing. I don’t remember how old I was the first time I went fishing. All I can remember is waking up at like two in the morning and driving for about 15 to 20 min. to go deep sea fishing that day. I believe this was also the first time I ever went on a boat. It was while we were at our annual trip to Emerald Isle NC. I was with my mother, my cousins Sean and Brian, and my uncle Gary. I got to see people catching all kinds of fish. It was amazing and it sparked my lifelong passion for fishing from that point on. The best part about the trip was when I caught a 4 foot long 75 pound amberjack. Here I am this about five or six-year-old with a huge fish on the end of  my line, thinking I am the most awesome person in the world. On the other hand I am also mortified thinking that I will be pulled over the side of the boat. As you can imagine I also got seasick. But that is a different story for a different time.

The other memory I would choose is white-water kayaking three years ago. I had no idea what Whitewater kayaking even was. If you had told me that the next summer I was supposed to be going white-water kayaking I would’ve called you crazy. But lo and behold that’s what happened the next summer I went to the Whitewater intensive camp at soar, and I loved it so much that I came back for next summer’s Whitewater intensive course. I had so much fun this summer I Whitewater that I intend to do it again next summer and hopefully someday I can become a professional Whitewater kayaker. It’s also been my dream from the moment I knew what flying was that I would pilot an airplane. That’s pretty much everything about me l can’t really think of anything else right now but I really hope that gives you a pretty good idea of me.
