Matthew Leonard

I was born in Hammond IN on May 18, 1994. At the age of three my biological father past away from a cancer of the blood. My mom remarried when i was 6. At the age of 11 our family moved to China. My parents taught English, and we lived there for about a year. We moved back in 2006. After living in the States for about 3 years our family moved to Belize. My parents are missionaries and that's where they currently serve. I moved back to the states in November of 2011 to finish up schooling and get a job. Living overseas has given me great insight on what the world is really about. I have visited 7 foreign countries, 40 states, and I have been to several world wonders. I am not your average teenager. I enjoy to work. I have a Choleric-Sanguine temperament. My nature is to take charge in a situation if no one is in charge. I take responsibility for the mistakes I make even when in authority.

I have worked in construction my whole life. My dad worked in construction and also working on the mission field called for the building of buildings. I have never had an employer who wouldn't take me back for a job. The only reason I have left a job is because of relocation. I have home-schooled since the 3rd grade. I will finish high school in May of 2012. I have a great work ethic that my parents have instilled in me since my childhood. I have many hobbies. I love to research and think about new ideas. I am constantly learning about new ideas and things. I like to troubleshoot problems and I have a analytical mind. I troubleshoot cellphones, fix computers, and do pretty much anything with electronics I enjoy technology, photography, "green" ideas, and I love sports. I'm a very health conscieous person. I enjoy working out and I am aware of what I eat.

I can be sarcastic, but I do understand how not to go to far and hurt a persons feelings. I wont intentionally hurt a persons feelings unless they dish out the sarcasm first. (If you cant take it then don't dish it out) Overall, I am definitely a different type of teenager then most kids these days.
