He stands 5’10 will scraggly hair, tattered Carhartts and a smile that’s says, “I didn’t do it,” He’s Parker Sorensen. Some might say he’s boy creating chaos in the halls, other might say he’s an extremist, but when I look at him I see a boy living his life to the fullest.
When many see trash in a dumpster they think it’s trash and that’s why it’s there, but not Sorensen, I have seen myself how this boy can take trash or thrown away science equipment and use it as makeshift snow skates that turns into a fun time of gliding down snowy stairs.
He’s a person not defined by words or timing or atmosphere, he lets nothing hold him back and goes for anything, even if it’s to unicycle down a suspended beam 60 feet above the ground. He sees a tree and doesn’t think climb but jump.
I feel rather lucky having spent the time I have with Sorensen. He has taught me to look past what’s in front of me to beyond. We have climbed snowy trees to the very top, when I reached the top I felt accomplished and frightened a little at the same time but not Parker. He jumped below, plummeting in to countless feet of snow. Looking back up is where he finds his accomplishment. For him its not about the climbed up the tree or the fall down but the whole experience itself. 
Parker might not be your average high school senior right now, but he’s filled with senioritis and excitement like the rest. He’s not going off to college like some of his other class mates, but he is looking forward to his next adventure of traveling with friends by his side.
