About me :)

My  name is Steve Fleming.  I was born on the 12th day of June in 1996.  My biological mother's name was Heather. I don't know her last name or much else for that matter. I was put up for adoption when I was in the womb.  Most people ask me if I am upset or something for being put up for adoption, but that's not the case.  It's not the case because my mom Terri, and my dad Ed are some of the greatest parents I could think of. I couldn't ask for a better family. I also have a second unofficial family, the McGraws, who are just my really good friends that I'm very close to.  I spend a lot of my time there and I always feel comfortable with them.


There are a wide variety of things that I am passionate about.  One of the biggest is snowboarding.  I have been snowboarding for 4 years and its my favorite thing to do.  I devote almost all of my winter and some of the rest of the year focusing on how I can improve as a snowboarder.  Since Michigan isn't the ideal snow sports location, last winter I saved all my money to take a trip to Oregon to attend a top of the line snowboarding camp to work on my skills.  The week long trip on the outstanding Mt. Hood was one of the best experiences of my life.  We had the best parks and resorts at our disposal and had our own personal pros to teach us and to help us improve. My dream is to hopefully go pro and start my own company.  I'm already looking at getting sponsored this year. Another one of my passions is music.  I play many different instruments from the trumpet to the guitar.  But my main focus is electric bass guitar.  I have played bass since I was in 7th grade.  I have been in 2 different jazz ensembles and 2 or 3 different bands that consist of my friends.  Another love of mine is art.  I have always been good at art and have excelled in all different categories.  What I've been really in to the last couple months is graffiti art.  Most people look down on it, but I don't intend to use it to vandalize.  It is a good and enjoyable way to express myself.

I am also very involved in Boy Scouts. I've been in scouts since the 1st grade, and its gotten me far.  Most people think of it as stupid but it's is actually a great experience, especially if you are with friends.  In scouts I have the opportunity to go camping every month at a new location, hot or cold.  One of my greatest experiences as a scout was going backpacking in New Mexico for 2 weeks.  We lived on freeze dried food and river water.  We hiked almost 100 miles with 60 pounds on our backs.  The best part was when we got to camp on the top of Mt. Phillips, a 12,00 ft. mountain with the most beautiful view I have ever witnessed.  Recently in scouts I've been working on my Eagle.  Which is the highest rank and is looked greatly upon by colleges and employers.  I am on the last two steps and plan to be finished in January, which is a good achievement for a 15 year old since only 2% of all scouts achieve eagle and most are of the age of 17.
