Gymnast

I swear my heart is like a gymnast because every time I start feeling it does twenty back flips and lands it. Any time I hear a good song or see a good movie or meet awesome people my heart starts to feel. The emotion is so intense sometimes. That is what heart is all about. The heart lets you experience things that no other organ in your body can. This summer is going to be especially rough. My heart is going to be doing all kinds of moves. I'm going to have to say goodbye to my friends. All my buddies are leaving to crazy places while I'll still be in Utah for a semester then I'll be joining them. My heart tells me the weirdest things like how close I am to people that I've never met. The funny thing about the heart though, is that most of the time it is right. Sometimes it tells you to do crazy things that you think have no chance but you just have to take risks. You have to trust in your gut feeling.

Alright listen up because this is might possibly be the most embarrassing thing that has happened to me. It was the summer of my 7th grade year. I had to get my shots and physical since I was going from the 6th grade to the 7th. I have never loved needles but this experience has changed me. I'm with my Mom. We pull up into the sketchy asphalt parking lot of the doctors office. I had bad dreams about this place my whole life. As I drag myself out of the car, I think of all the things that go wrong, You may not know this about me but i worry about the dumbest things and I cant stop thinking about it.

I push my way through the door, and look inside. i can feel the air thick with little kid germs. It smelled of old people and rubbing alcohol. this doctors office had one of those creepy waiting rooms with old toys you had never seen before. You wouldn't dare touch them because they are layered with germs. As I am worrying about all that can go wrong, I hear a raspy voice from behind the table. It was so haunting because you couldn't even see the person that was producing such a frightening noise.The short lady's voice reminded me of the slug on monsters inc that always asked for Mike Wazowski's paper work.

 I walk down the poorly, fluorescent hallway to a door that is open. there stands the six foot four doctor welcoming me in. He towered over me at the time. I was getting more and more nervous, I then saw him pull out a needle. I then told myself to man up and take it, the doctor gave me the shot and it was done in a flash. i was so surprised it didn't even hurt.

Thinking that all of my troubles were over, i walked out of the room. An old lady summoned me to come in the next room for a blood pressure check. she strapped the cushion around my upper arm. it began to squeeze. i then felt really weird. i began to see little white dots in my vision. The next thing I know, i am on the ground looking up at a wrinkly old lady. I had fainted. How embarrassing i thought, i passed out while i was getting my blood pressure taken. I had fallen into the old lady's arms like sleeping beauty. Luckily, until now, my mom was the only one there to make fun of me.

It's me, the M the A-C the K

People have always known me as the tall, skinny, ginger kid (and just from that line you probably already know who I am.) 

                    Different from most people, I love school. Not necessarily the work, but I love meeting the people there and seeing friends. I love to be social. 

Some things you may not know about me: I love doing impressions. Jimmy Fallon is my inspiration. I love quoting movies. I know hundreds of quotes. I love all music except screamo. (Right now I'm in to country because it's getting warm and I can only listen to it when it's warm. I have many fire playlists on Spotify. 

Things that I love: I love nature. I wish that I could be at the mountains every second. I try to make camping and hammocking I priority. I love photography.  Every time I'm on a trip up the canyon I will always bring my camera. I love summer time. I love boating. There is nothing like a good surf sesh on deer creek at dusk. I love Christmas. I start listening to Christmas music around September because I am so pumped! I love the gospel. I love history. I love tennis and basketball. I love to travel. I will never turn down a road trip. I love any crazy adventure. I will never hesitate to jump in a body of water. 

My name is Andrew Starley. PS: for some reason every time I feel like I'm doing something cool I have to take a tongue selfie on my GoPro.
