Intro

Mrs. J — I don't really like writing about myself nor can I really do it well. This is an old autobiography I had to write before, so I chanegd it up, revised it, and shortened it. I don't know if it's exactly what you're looking for but I'm not too good at writing about myself...

It all began on February 22nd, 1991 in the the Doylestown Hospital, the woniderful sack of joy known as Austin Detwiler was introduced into the world, holding dear all his blissful innocence. At this time, I, Austin Detwiler, am now 16 years old and far less blissful or innocent.

I lived in the center of Lansdale until I was a year old when I moved to Towamencin where I was raised. I attended preschool when I was four; right before I began my North Penn schooling career in kindergarten at General Nash Elementary in Mrs. Ropers' AM class. This same year I joined the Towamencin Swim Team, which I stayed on until age 13.

I swam with my older sister, Jacqui, while my brother, Greg, broke, set, and stole numerous diving records, both team and pool. I participated in club soccer during these years, too. I played for Montgomery Soccer Association, MSA, with my dad as my coach every year. I stayed in this league until I tried out for and made the TYA Travel Team three years ago. I'm still playing for this team, although I played school ball through my middle school career, which I attended at Pennfield.

During these years, especially the middle school times, I worked various jobs — too many to name. In the eighth grade I met a kind young fellow, Nate Harder, who brought me to Branch Creek church. Sine then I've spent continuously more and more time there. Currently, I teach Sunday mornings and Tuesday nights, and attend my own youth group on Wednesday nights. I also work a more formal job a Freddy Hill Farms and at the Mainland Inn. I help my friend with his own self-owned contracting business.

Now ni the high school, I have a mix of 5.0 and 6.0 classes. I've taken a Journalism elective, Business elective, and contemporary music elective. There's not much more. I enjoy writing and snowboarding a lot, too. I love music, too.
