S.+Scott



My name is Samuel Scott. I am the younger brother of one sister, Paige Scott, who is in her third year at Akron Univercity, who is engaged to Adam Hanshaw. I am the only son of Lisa and Joseph Scott. My hobbies include building with legos and drawing. I did own a treeing walking coon hound named Jethro, but after he kept biting me, l had to give him too a country home. Jethro turned one this March. I do like to study the R.M.S Titanic after it sank after hitting an iceberg 98 years ago on April 14, 1912. I was born on May 7, 1996 in Dover, Delaware, and i am going to be to be 14 this year. I think the hyena best represents me beacause I am energetic and I like to laugh.
