My name is Adam Kennedy and I am the son of David and Vicki Kennedy.  I have three siblings two older brothers and a younger brother.  They are Justin age 25, Brian age 27, and Nolan age 13.  I am 17 years and I am currently a senior at Hanover –Horton I plan on attending a university to study graphic design.

When I was younger I was a very introverted person and I really struggled with making friends, but through the arts I found myself.  I started playing French horn in the fifth grade and that was my first exposure to the arts.  It wasn’t like school; it was more challenging and interesting.  I stuck with it through high school and in high school is where I found theatre.  Theatre is where my personality flourished and I found a new meaning in my life.  It allowed me to open up in ways that I didn’t think were possible and it’s what I accredit my current self confidence to and it is something I will continue to do and enjoy throughout my life.  It is what made me who I am today.  I am now a bubbly out going caring person.  I have learned to communicate well with others and that has allowed me to work very well in teams.  I show a deep understanding for human motions and I can usually relate pretty well to someone who wishes to confide in me.   I have a love for talking and sharing my knowledge and that is what I find myself doing frequently.  Though I do have strong emotions and I tend to get caught up in them sometimes, I can still think clearly and concisely.  I am very good at turning off emotions for a moment and become very analytical to determine the correct course of action for the job at hand.  In short I am a wide variety of characteristics all wrapped up into one eccentric defective man.  As Ms. K said, “Adam is a hard worker who knows how to have fun.  He is one of my most talented actors and a person I am very proud.”

Through the similar minds personality test I learned I was an ENFJ.  The “E” is to stand for extroverted.  This describes my love of being social and talking to everyone.  Then we have the “N” which shows I am intuitive, which means that I am imaginative and creative.  I think to the future and always look for new ways to do things.  The “F” stands for feeling, which means sometimes I let my feelings take over and use them to make the decision as opposed to using my head to think things through, yet it also means that I can relate to people and have open hearted relationships.  Lastly we have the “J” it stands for judging which could mean many things but I like to believe it means driven.  I am very ambitious and I strive to succeed.

I and others have always considered me to be a very intelligent person.  I have always strived to receive the highest grade I can and have almost always succeeded.  I currently have a 3.9, because of one A- that I received as a freshman.  I am always highly praised for my performance in class and I work hard to prove that I deserve it.  Different from most seniors I made my schedule challenging this as opposed to an easy schedule.  I took many classes in which I would be doing hard activities; they include Chem. 2, Calculus and Honors English.  When I was a junior I took it upon myself to further my knowledge so I took many classes including an extra math class before school started every day, known as Honors math.  At the same time I was taking Honors math I took two other math classes I took trigonometry and pre-calculus.  I took the ACT for the first time last year and I received a 26 and though that is not a bad score I believe that I could do better and that is why I am taking it again this fall.  I am very interested to get to college and see all of the new experiences there are for me.  I’m curious to see where art directing will take me and I am looking forward to ever opportunity.
