My name is Aidan Quinlan and I am from Columbus, Ohio. My dad is in business and my mom was an OBGYN until she retired after my third brother was born. I have four brothers, two older and two younger. Growing up as the middle child between all brothers was interesting but I cannot imagine growing up another way. I have gone to Catholic schooling all my life and went to an all-boys high school. I have one black lab named Caragh who is 10 years old. I played baseball through high school, as sports have been in my house for my whole life with my older brothers. They have been very influential on my life, and it was very weird when they slowly moved out for college and life after. I have not explored much with my writing and view myself as a writer that writes for assignments. I never write if it is not needed of me. Through schooling, most of my writing has been research papers and book reports. I have never explored with my writing or have been extremely creative. I believe that I sometimes struggle with repeating myself in my papers and not fully knowing how to get my point across. I sometimes also struggle with not fully understanding what I am writing about which leads to more confusion when it comes time to write a paper. I would like to be able to branch out with my writing and see what I am capable of doing.
