Who am I?  This is a very broad question, and a difficult one to answer.  I am many things.  Way too much to list.  A brief overview of who I am would be a hardworking, intelligent, unselfish, humorous, lover, and fighter for what I believe in.  I can accredit my character today to my mom, and the obstacles I have overcame growing up.  They both have shaped me into the unique individual I am today.

I am Logan Geiger.  I was born and raised in the small town of Aurora, Nebraska.  I grew up on a farm with my mom, Gina Schaffert, and my stepdad, Eric Schaffert.  I am the middle child of the family with my older sister, Jacie, and my younger sister, Lexi.  I also have two step brothers, Vince and Jordan.  We always ignored the fact that we are not blood related and acted as if we are biological siblings.  I am confident that there nobody else had a family quite like mine.  People may say that we are a little dysfunctional at times, but we still possess moral values as well.  I had a very fortunate childhood growing up.  There was never a dull moment when their was horses to ride, guns to shoot, four-wheelers and dirt bikes to tear around on, and my family to hang out with.  Looking back on it now I may have taken things for granted too much.

That’s how things used to be.  My life is very different now.  One thing I have learned about life is that things can change in a blink of an eye.  My brother, Vince, joined the Marines and was deployed to Afghanistan, my stepdad and Jordan passed away in a two month span, Jacie went off on her own, and my mom, Lexi, and I moved out of the house I lived in my whole life.  It feels like all this happened in a week.  I still live out in the country of Aurora, but that is about the only thing that didn’t change.  These changes played a big roll on who I am now.  I took on the job as the man in the house now, and I don’t take anything for granted.  I now make an attempt to live every day like it is my last.  You never really know when your last day is gonna be.  That has made a big impact on who I am today.

The I obstacles I have faced are not the only things that represent me, however.  I also have many passions that say a lot about who I am.  I take great pride in being a student athlete.  Student comes first, because what happens in the class room is going to be a bigger impact on my future, but I love athletics.  I participate in football, wrestling, and track.  There is something inside of me that drives me to compete.  No matter what it is, I am always trying to be the best I can be.  Wrestling and track are fun, but football season is my favorite.  Playing football for Aurora is something very special.  It has shown me how when a team plays with unity, nothing can stop them.  The coaches don’t only teach the game of football.  Every week they work to teach us values that we can take with us in life.  It is safe to say that my coaches have contributed to what makes me, me.

My friends haven’t played a huge roll on who I am, but there is a saying that goes, “you are who your friends are”.  This saying does hold some truths because people tend to spend the most time with others that have similar behaviors and personalities.  I am confident to say that my friends are awesome.  We all are able to take jokes, and have great senses of humor.  You can guarantee that there will not be a dull moment when you have us all in the same place.  We may not have the smartest ideas all the time, but hey, we are teenagers.  Last of all a good friend is somebody that you can count on no matter what, and I have plenty of them in my life.

This is a brief summary of who I am, and what made me who I am today.  I am many things.  I am a lover that has no problem fighting for what I believe in, I am a son of a family that I would do anything for, and I am a teenager that has an endless list of passions and hobbies.  Most of all, I am and individual that believes on living life one day at a time.
