Where I am from

Blake Martin

I grew up in a nice home in Media with a family of six
I have a twin sister and 2 older brothers at the age of 21 and 24
I have more blessings that i deserve and opportunities that I can ask for
There is a home cooked meal every time I walk through the door

Our family’s greatest influence had to be our Great Meem
She was the matriarch of the family and held us together as a team
When she passed away two years ago everyone close to her was devastated
Since this brought us together the old tension seem to have faded

My mother is a stay at home mom who works incredibly hard and she would take her time if she had any
Both my brothers went to Haverford in middle school and transferred to The Academy
My father works for Morgan Stanley and successful in finance
I grew up very privileged to let you know in advance

Wanting to be like my father has always been my greatest ambition
Growing up I was able to play Soccer, Basketball, and Baseball which has always kept me in great condition
I went to The St. Mary Magdalen School which was a great platform for me transition into EA
Having two brothers that went to Boston College and Georgetown motivate me to work even harder each day

I have traveled to many places around the world which makes me appreciate family even more
Everyone has had a great influence on my life which has made me the person I am today
There have been some bumps in the road but none that are to extreme to say

I hope to continue to live my great life and follow my role models in some sort of way.
