About Me

My name is Brandon and I am a freshman here at HSU . I am actually from here in Abilene , just across town where I went to school at Abilene Cooper . I am currently pursuing an exercise science degree and right now the plan is to apply for PA school after obtaining my degree. Here at HSU I am playing on the baseball team, a part of the BSM, and the treasurer of the club table tennis team. I'm a very sociable person who enjoys being active with other people, rather it being playing games or just hanging out inside or going outside on adventures. If I were to compare myself to an object, i would choose a camera because I like to travel around and capture each and every moment.
