Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I was born and raised in a little suburb just south of South Miami known as "Pinecrest." Pinecrest is like the Long-Island of Miami: full of Jewish mothers and their golden doodles. Of course, living in Miami, there's the obvious exhibit of Cuban fathers overprotecting their daughters.
I have two brothers. B1, who is now a senior at the University of Florida, and B2 who is now a sophomore at Florida State University. My father S, is a politician who works for the Democratic Party and travels from Washington D.C. to Miami so often, the pilots refer to him by his first name. My mom J, is probably the most loving, caring stay-at-home mom any child could ask for. I've truly never met anyone who cares enough about their son to bring Chipotle to them for lunch almost three times a week.
As you sit here and read my blog, you're probably beginning to wonder, "who is this weirdo who is so obsessed with a television show that he found a way to incorporate it in to his name?" Well, as much as I would like to say that it did, the name Gleethan didn't come from me.
When thinking of ideas for my bar mitzvah theme back in the seventh grade, my brother B1, suggested Glee. Of course, we believed this idea was unrealistic and that it would be incredibly difficult to base a bar mitzvah on a television show. My mother's Deja vu kicked in and she felt the exact same way when B1's bar mitzvah theme was "F.R.I.E.N.D.S. OF B1."
Nevertheless, the night was a success. Once again, my mom had pulled it off.
The constant snapchats I recieve of my friends in their Gleethan shirts before they go to bed proves that Gleethan was an event that will stay with me for eternity.
I also have a strong passion for musical theatre. As I'm writing this blog, I have my opening night of a show at school tonight. Musical theatre is definitely something I want to pursue even after college. But, as of right now, I'm just a teenage boy trying to grow up in the social, torturous prison known as "high school."
I really like your blog so far, it makes me want to keep reading and know more. I can't wait to see more posts. I love that you explained your family it made me really feel like I personally knew them. The last sentence of your post really relates to most students so that was great. I really enjoyed it.
