David Brown
10/11/05
It all started back on May/13/90 in Boca West Hospital at around 6:00. My father named me after King David. The name David means, beloved of God. My middle name is my mothers maiden name, Kassel. Kassel has a German origin. My hebrew middle name is Jacob, after my great grandfather. My birth weight was 6.9 ounces and was 18 and 3/4 inches. I was a c-section baby because my shoulders got stuck. I am a Taurus, and at this time of year my passions are apparently at an all-time high.
I am the only child in my family, but my friend is moving in with me on October 23rd and staying for a month until the house he is moving into is ready. My mother is 5 foot 3 and has brown hair. My mom, at most times is a very nice person, she has earned the nickname from many people, “sweet Elise.” Her name is Elise which is French. When she gets mad it is not pretty. Usually she nags me like crazy and goes on and on about everything and when I dont listen to her she changes into an evil demon! She sells jewelry from our house. She goes to shows and sells jewelry to all of her friends and has met many new people since she decided to be in the jewelry business. My Dad, Lee, is 6 foot 1 and has blonde hair. As he says to many people that he meets, he has a very gritty personality because he uses grit in his products. He is an athlete and his favorite sport is golf. He loves going out on the golf course with me and smoke a cigar. He loves the outdoors and taking care of the environment and is currently working on a project with the Isaac Walton League called Nine Mile Run. Basically they try and fix up forests and all environmental problems that go on around Pittsburgh. He Loves Hunting, and Fishing and was an eagle boy scout. He was a combat crew commander in the Air Force and in charge of a bomb that could have killed Ten Million people. Luckily for him and me he didnt have to drop the bomb or else he would have been at risk of being killed and I would not be writing this Autobiography because I wouldnt exist. My dad owns a small business called United States Products Company. U.S. Products develops chemical abrasives.
My two major ethnic groups are Scottish from my Dads side and Russian from my moms side. I dont really have any ethnic traditions because both families moved to America so many generations ago. My great, great, great, great grandfather, on my dads side, was the 5th cousin to Abraham Lincoln. I have a dog named Hunter who is 5 years old. He is an English Setter and is a hunting dog. My dad wanted to train him to hunt, but he was afraid of a gunshot. He is a great house dog anyway and a great friend. I also have two turtles named Pipsky and Swift. Both are 1 year old.
I was born in Boca Raton, Florida. I lived right on a canal that was near the inter coastal in a one floor house. It was a very nice place to live. I moved to Pittsburgh when I was three. I currently live on South Linden Ave in Point Breeze, where I have spent most of my childhood. Pittsburgh is a wonderful place for a family and for children to grow up.
When I was four I was trying to make a fire place outside in my backyard. I went into a fenced in area to get a brick. I tossed it up in the air to try and get it over the fence and it came down and hit me in the forehead. I had to go to the hospital and get stitches and it was not fun at all. Back in the early days my dad would put me on the back of his bike and I would be in this little seat attached to the bike. He would ride with me for 3 to 6 miles every day. Now I love to bike ride on trails and on jumps courses with a BMX bike. I ride on very advanced trails in frick park with my friends. When I was two and still living in Florida, my grandparents got me a plastic basketball hoop that I used to love even back then. I really love playing basketball now. When I was little, I always loved to talk and didnt make a fuss about everything, like most babies do. I still love to talk and am very social. I think not crying about a lot of things when I was a baby blossomed into the fact that I am independent. I think that I am independent because I can handle things myself and dont need people to help me most of the time.
My life has had a lot of up and down points, but If I were to choose best and worst I would say, the worst was when I was in a biking accident and the best was leaving my old school. I was heading back to my house with some friends and I rode down steps on my bike. The stairs turned ninety degrees to the left about half way through. I went down the first set and did not have enough time to turn left because I had to much speed and I hit into the wall. Luckily I was wearing a helmet or I would have had a concussion although I got knocked out for thirty seconds. I hit my knee my face and my leg very hard against the wall and was injured pretty badly. One of the best decisions that I made was going to Allderdice. I hated my old school because the teachers stunk, there wasnt enough kids, and the rules were really out of line. I could never stay their four more years for high school.
I am now 5 foot 7 and 1/2 have light brown or dark blonde hair. What ever you want to call it. I love sports, I like to make jokes and laugh. I take school seriously, but like to have fun. I like to be myself around anyone that I meet. I am not very good at math and I really dont like it that much. I am good at a lot of sports and am very competitive. I have a bad habit of smelling my fingers. I dont know why I do it, but its weird. I belong to a jewish program called North American Federation of Temple Youth. I belong
