                                                             Seth Brooks life

Seth was a native of Lawrence Kansas. He was born in nineteen ninety-two and he has lived in Lawrence all his life. His mom and dad are from California. His dad wanted to go to school here. There are six kids in his family. According to Seth his life has changed even though he has lived in Lawrence all his life. For example he was a home-schooler until he came to the University of Kansas. In his life as a home-schooler his mom taught him and he also taught himself a lot of the time. He had a friend who lived close to him growing up that was also home-schooled. They would do their homework fast so that they could hangout together riding bikes, trading basketball cards and playing a lot of videogames.

Seth said that there were always lots of people around his house. He has two brothers and three sisters as well as his parents and lots of friends that came to visit a lot. Seth likes to be around people. As he became older his subjects in school started to become harder. He also started to take classes in groups. For example, he used to take speech class. In the beginning he hated it but after a while he came to love it.  In addition, he learned from a certain guy many different things. After that he came to be in more classes in groups with home-schoolers. For example, according to Seth they started to learn with each other about literature and economics. Also, according to Seth, when he was doing speeches he met lots of people from different states such as Nebraska and Minnesota since he traveled for tournaments. Seth said that he went to nationals last year.

According to Seth one of the big things was that he was like some of the other people in the United States in growing up as a church kid. he always went to church and helped out with the youth. Plus he worked in a coffee shop. When he finished high school he decided that he did not want to leave Lawrence, he likes the veriety of the weather and he isn’t in a hurry to get his own house. Here in Lawrence he had lots of options like Johnson County College and the University of Kansas. So, he went to University of Kansas. When he thought about what he liked to do he decided to do public speaking and communications. Right now he works in a coffee shop downtown where he has met lots of teachers and professors from the University of Kansas.

 His future plans involve figuring out if he wants to study abroad. Four of the members of his family speak fluent Spanish and he loves to learn and have conversations in Spanish. He thinks he may want to go to Spain or Costa Rica to learn Spanish better.
