Personal Introduction
My name is Daniel Drum. I have lived in the great town of Conover, North Carolina my entire life. My house is located on a piece of land that has been in my family since before the civil war. Over the past centuries, many generations of my family have lived and worked on this land. Throughout eras of depression and migration, they remained in Conover to do what they knew best. Farm. With at least two-hundred years of family history in one location, my house is surrounded by history in the form sheds, fields, and old barns that proudly display my family's long held agricultural way of life.
I am currently a Junior at Newton-Conover High School and I am also taking Statistics, U.S. History, and an Internship at the District Attorney's office this semester. If I had to choose a favorite subject, it would be History. I would choose History because I love to travel and learn about other cultures as well as learn about past decisions that established life as we know it today.
In my free time, I like to watch and play sports. I especially follow college football, pro football, baseball, and golf. My favorite teams are the Carolina Panthers, the New York Jets, NC State Wolfpack, and the Atlanta Braves. I have been a Panthers fan my whole life mostly because of my grandparents. Almost every Sunday, during my childhood, in the fall they would drive me and my dad to Charlotte and we would cheer on our team. Through the highs of the 2003 season when we reached the Super Bowl to the low years that followed, we never missed a game. I also play golf year-round and have been on the golf team for two years. I started playing golf after watching the 2007 Masters and have been slowly become more and more addicted to the mental and physical challenges of the game

I have also been to Alaska three times, two times on a mission trip and once on a vacation. While on mission trips in Alaska, my church group did a week long Bible study for children who live in the remote arctic village of Deering. While on those trips, I also had the rare opportunity to go above the Arctic Circle. In addition to going to Alaska with my church, I also help work the sound-system every Sunday and help acolyte and usher.
Hey, Daniel! That's a pretty cool glacier picture you've got there! I can't believe you actually stood on a glacier and didn't fall! I would have fallen and died for sure. I didn't know you were interested in baseball. I really wish I knew more about the sport. Maybe you can teach me? I also didn't know that you helped with the sound system at your church! That's great! I learned so much about you even though we've been friends for years!
