jeremy mattas identity project

    One very big part of my personality is the need to find challenges and adventure like sports and camping. Two people that have really affeced my choices over the last several years is my Aunt Donna and Uncle Jim. When ever I have a new challenge i always go to them for support and suggestions.
 
    During the summer me and my uncle Jim ride anywhere from 20 to 100 miles on any given weekend. Me and my aunt usually run a few miles after i come back for my bike ride with my uncle. my aunt also usually has a nice meal prepared for us when we return from our biking treks. Sometimes my uncle and i do organized bike rides of various bike lengths geneally 75 to 100 miles. my aunt and i usually stick to running we run several 5k's  a year and we have a 5 year tradition of running the first night 5k in saratoga annualy on new years eve.
 
    My aunt and my uncle surely got me into running and cycling and other sports like triathlons. i owe a lot that i have accomplished to both of them. if they moved to alaska or anywhere far away i'm sure that i would still participate in sports because they helped introduce me to them and they wouldnt want me to quit and neither would i. i'm sure it wouldn't be as fun without them and it would be harder without their support bu they have to taught me a lot about perserverance and i'm sure that i would succeed with or without them here. it just wouldnt be the same if they left and i would be missing telling them about my latest accomplishments or ideas that i had in mind.
