Not Named After Samuel Adams “the beer”
I’m Samuel Adams … not the beer.
I’m often asked if my parents named me after the beer. When I explain that I was named after the founding father Samuel Adams, the same man the beer is named after, most often the questioner never heard of the man.
It makes me laugh that people would even consider that my parents love beer so much that they would name me after a beer. But the question occurs so often that I’ve decided to brand myself “Samuel Adams … not the beer.”
I’m not old enough to drink alcohol, so I can’t say I’m a fan of Samuel Adams the beer. My dad seems to like it, although he doesn’t drink much.
I’m an advocate for drinking responsibly, which is what I’ve been taught at home. I’m not interested in the “college drinking scene,” I’m more interested in the “adventure scene” offered by the colleges I’m most interested in attending.
I love the mountains, fishing, hiking, camping, etc, but I’m also open to other colleges that offer other opportunities for adventure.
Like I’ve stated before, my personal goal is to attend a great university, study biology/chemistry, develop lifelong relationships, and have a lot of fun along the way, all without acquiring an avalanche of debt.
One of my favorite authors wrote:
“You’re off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting,
So…get on your way!”
I’m ready to discover those Great Places and my mountain that is waiting. I just need a college willing to give me a chance to prove myself. If you know of one, please let me know.
Thanks for visiting, and come back soon.
