I come from a rather newly large family. I have one brother, Travis Pearl, currently a high school senior, Jack Bottoms, one step brother a high school junior, and two step sisters Jenny and Lauren both who are attending college. I rarely get to see my family including them for I have started to sway away from my hometown in fact this year will be my first summer away from my hometown of Amherst. I will be residing in Harrisonburg and working at a Restaurant. After Graduation I hope to work and get experiences at a variety of private clubs and resorts, while eventually running and operating one myself.
