About Me


Let me introduce myself, my name is Adam Garrett Grenadier and I am a Florida native and I am from the city of Coral Springs. I was born on August 25, 1993 at the Coral Springs Hospital so now I am 18 years old and I have been living in Florida since I was born.  My family consists of me, my dad, mom, me and my two sisters. Out of me and my two sisters, I am the youngest, one sister is 19 and one is 24. In my opinion, I think that being the youngest is the best.
            To begin with, I am a real laid back person and I have a good personality so I’m pretty easy to get along with. The thing I like to do most is workout and play sports most of the time when I’m not busy with work and such. I participate in two different sports and they are basketball and competitive swimming. I’ve been playing basketball for about 9-10 years and swimming for 4 years. I started swimming when I first got into high school, which is North Broward Prep. In basketball I usually play shooting guard and in swimming my best stroke is the breaststroke.
            When it comes to academic work, I always take it seriously because I know that if I don’t take it seriously then I wont succeed in life and that’s not what I want so I believe that succeeding in school will take far in life. In English IV this year, the things that I would like to learn is strategies in taking the SAT/ACT, developing in writing better paragraphs and having a better work ethic because without any work ethic, you probably won’t succeed in anything.
             Sometimes I have thoughts of different ideas and when ever they come to my mind, the one that I care deeply about is what will I be doing when I finish college, like what kind of job will I have or will I be successful. I care about this idea the most because where I’ll be in a couple years is important to me because being successful in life is one of the many priorities to me so each day I work as hard as I can so that I can make it through life successfully.
            When it comes to publishing a book, directing a movie or even doing a painting, the artist whose work that I admire is Steven Spielberg because almost every movie I saw that was directed by him blew my mind because the movies he makes are amazing. Out of the movies he made, I would say that my favorite one is Jurassic park because everything seemed so real in the movie and also it was the first one I saw that was directed by him. In my own words, Steven Spielberg can be regarded as one of the most successful directors of all time.
            Most people say that reading books can strengthen your brain but me, I don’t really have an interest in reading books but out of the many books that I read, the one I love the most is Into the Wild which was written by Jon Krakauer. The reason why I like this book is because it’s a true story and it was easy to understand. It was about this kid who graduated college and didn’t really appreciate anything and just went off, left everything behind and went into the wild and lived there. He soon had nothing to eat and died of starvation and was discovered about two weeks after his death.
