Entry #1 Getting to Know James

Who I Am

Hello, my name is James Rutherford. I'm 18 years old and a freshman at Glendale Community College and I'm going to share some information about myself.

I wish this taken in a more, professional matter. But its me either way.
Where I'm From

I'm from Robinsdale, Minnesota. It's pretty much a suburb off of Minneapolis. I lived there for a little part of my childhood then moved to Glendale, Arizona when I started elementary school. I miss Minnesota for its winters, but Arizona's winters are also nice.

Personal Interests

I like the outdoors and almost all the animals that live in them. I hate skunks though, too many of them in Minnesota and had bad experiences with them. I like to travel across the United States and see the sights there are to see, like Mount Rushmore and Yellowstone National Park. I also like to study animals and their behaviors on my spare time. I'm hoping to make it a career once I'm finished with college.

Hobbies

Some hobbies I'm interested in are hiking, hunting, and fishing. I also used to compete in archery a couple years back. I was pretty good at it as well. I competed in state championships and even ranked in a world archery tournament. Those were the good years. Click here to see the results of an archery tournament that happened a few years ago. I hope to return to archery in the near future. I also used to play competitive football for Apollo High School. Played there for three years, then I graduated from high school. I miss football as well. I don't think I will play football competitively in the future unless i either lose an amount of weight or grow taller. I don't think there is a football team that would want a 5 foot 11 inch tall lineman that weighs 220. I don't mind not playing though, the memories will stick with me for ages. Here are some pictures of me doing past hobbies.

 This is when I played Junior Varsity football for my sophomore year of high school. I would go to war with any other football team with these guys. They are my second family.

Personal Goals

My goals in life are to get my dream career job as a wildlife manager in the Game and Fish Department. I have always wanted to be this ever since I was a young boy. Another goal of mine is to get in better shape. I have been slacking lately on the exercise and I need to get back into the flow of exercising again. Other than that I hope to life a long and prosperous life with a happy and calm attitude no matter what happens.

Uniqueness

Something unique about me is my way of learning and socializing. I learn by hearing and I don't really talk as much as others. For instance I don't usually start conversations, but instead further enhance the ones started. In class I don't speak out much but show great listening skills. Another thing unique about me is my archery skills. I have superb archery skills which at a time were so great that I would challenge my own archery coach, and even win sometimes. I could hit a starburst on a string when my coach was teaching me a lesson about aiming small to miss small. That was awhile back but I still think I have the archery skills in me.

Closure 

That's all there is to know about me. Hopefully you enjoyed this entry and the entries to come.
