Regardless, my life has been one long exciting adventure. In true epic fashion I will begin my narrative by saying the following:
"Call me Ishmael." Unfortunately for this story, my name isn't actually Ishmael, it is Andrew DeWitt and I don't actually want to be called Ishmael, I just like really enjoy quoting things such as that iconic opening line from Moby Dick by Herman Melville. Here, however are somethings you can call me.
"Call me Asian." I grew up all over the world. My dad worked in U.S. Embassies around the world so I grew up outside the US: Ethiopia, Uganda, Ecuador, and China. Having served my mission in Singapore and Malaysia, I've spent more time in Asia that I have in the US. I can speak Chinese, Malay, and some Spanish. Dispite all this, I do consider myself an American and I am proud to be such.
"Call me a Physicist." I am studying Physics-Astronomy at Brigham Young University. If you were wondering, yes my brain hurts sometimes.
"Call me General." I am in the Air Force ROTC. Next August I will graduate, commission, then "Off [I] Go! Into the Wild Blue Yonder!" Who knows if I'll ever be a general, but I want to be the kind of person that could be a general. I love planes and I am excited that I'll get to be around planes in the Air Force.
Finally... "Call me Mormon!" I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I love the Church, and I love the scriptures, especially The Book of Mormon. My wife and I currently teach the gospel to the younger children of our ward (congregation) in Primary.
