Dearly beloved, we gather here to say our goodbyes
Here she lies, no one knew her worth,
The late great daughter of mother Earth
On this night, when we celebrate the birth…
In that little town of Bethlehem
We raise our glass, you bet your ass. To… La Vie Boheme.

secret; Was part of a team hazing ritual gone wrong in high school where the victim ended up in a near drowning incident and was left next to the pool for the ambulance to find.
best memory; The last game of water polo he played his senior year at Mica High School. During the game Andrew scored the first goal in the three minutes into the first period. It started the team off with a good feeling causing Creek High School to score another two points that period while the other team only score one. During the second period Mica High scored another three goal, with the fifth overall goal being scored by Andrew. The other team was able to score a total of five goals for the second period. After switching sides, both teams only scored one point each still leaving them tied after the end of the third quarter. Finally, in the last seven minutes of the game, Andrew was able to score a goal right off the start. Then, while on defence, Andrew was able to steal the ball and get one of the players from the other team ejected and help his team score another goal. In all it lifted the teams morale from struggling to leading the game and preluded to finally finishing the game with a final score of eleven points to eight with the victory for Mica High School.
worst memory; One of the worst memories Andrew has is when he was twenty and at work during the peak hours at The Olympic, one of the patrons began to have a heart attack. She was an elderly women who frequented the gym to lap swim often. She was always stuck up and full of complaints on how the gym decided to run the pool. Andrew disliked her with a passion as she made his job much harder than it ever needed to be and she always caused at least three problems whenever she came to swim. Yet, one day during her usual lap swims, she stopped another patron from lap swimming and proceeded to yell at them for not being fast enough to swim in the same lane as her. Andrew knew it was just another day of having to deal with the trouble some patron but freaked out when he saw the yelling women suddenly hunch over and started to hunch over and grasp at her chest. She couldn't stay afloat for much longer and Andrew had to activate the emergency horn and jump in to pull her to safety to the side of the pool. After pulling her out of the water, he noticed she had a shortness of breath and suddenly began to vomit on the pool deck. He had other staff members call for an ambulance as he tried to assure the patient and get a medical history as best as he could for the EMT. The ambulance came and took the heart attack victim, but sadly Andrew got news from his manager the next day that she had died. He learned how fragile life could be and it scared him so much.

medical record; Had to receive stitches on lower back after someone kicked him during a water polo game and their toe nails dug deeply into his skin leaving a 3 inches long gash.

likes; Water Polo, swimming, working out, dating, partying, beer pong, sandwiches, greasy foods, the color orange, and pineapples.
dislikes; Drugs, golf, rude patrons, people who are cocky from their success, having his privates grabbed during water polo games, people make comments and answers every chance they get in class, waking up early, telemarketers, when nothing is on television during his free time at home, and smelling like chlorine even after he took a shower.
fears; Putting his heart on the line, becoming nothing, needles, having an emergency at work and taking any kind of pill form of medication and having a drug test come up positive.
personality; By himself Andrew is quiet and indifferent. He finds himself zoning out into deep thoughts about his past and where he is now. He can't help to feel that he is unaccomplished at the moment in his life being a lowly lifeguard at a gym.
With guys Andrew is typical in groups and enjoying hanging. Whether it is playing beer pong, watching sports, or going out to eat. If he is with one guy he enjoys having deep conversations that only certain other guys understand. Talking about girls, life, choices, and most other conversations that Andrew can't trust to have with a group of guys.
With people Andrew is lively and is a fun all around guy to hang out with. He likes to party, dance, and drink or play some beer pong in place of the drinking. He likes to make jokes, shoot the bull, playful tease others, and enjoy the moment. Many will find Andrew to be shallow, or focused only on women and being a tease or play boy. Yet, Andrew does contain wisdom and profound things to say in his mind. It's just the ever so rare occasion he ever says such things.
With girls Andrew keeps up a strong front. He can't resist the urge to try and score a hook up with 'hot babes' or the likes. Under the cover, Andrew wishes he could have a strong relationship that would be beneficial to himself and his partner in terms of support, love, and happiness. Yet, he is afraid to put his heart in the line for something that he feels may be real. Instead, he usually dates girls for a short period of time before 'cutting them loose'.
faults; While Andrew is typically a sincere guy, his instantaneous judgment is very questionable. Unless he really takes the times to think about his actions he is very likely to say or do something very wrong for being very impulsive with doing or speaking. This usually will cause him to get into bad situations with other people, nothing as drastic as mafia or drug dealing bad, but more so in drama within his group of friends.
appearance; Starting from the top, Andrew stands at a flat six feet and has curly dirty blonde hair. He has blue eyes, a defining bone structure in his face that comes down to a square chin. He has a medium frame sized body and weighs one hundred and seventy pounds. He has very defined upper chest with smooth abs and pectoral muscles. His arms and legs are the much more muscled parts of his body from his past water polo career. He has squared out shoulders that narrow down to his waist creating the much acclaimed V shape body. Although not as defined and protruding as most, it is still visible.
While at work, Andrew wears nothing but a pair of red board shorts that have the lifeguard logo on the bottom of the left leg. Because it is an indoor pool as well, he isn't like typical beach lifeguards walking around shirtless. Instead, he adorns an ironed white polo shirt that says 'The Olympic' on the left side over his chest in red. He walks around with a red fanny pack that contains a pair of gloves, chap stick, and a face mask for administering cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
When out during the day, Andrew is very casual sporting simple plain shirts and a pair of jeans or cargo shorts. Sometimes to spice the day up, his shirt may contain a funny visual or quote, but otherwise is usually a plain colored shirt. For dates or more formal night wear he chooses to showcase his buttoned up shirts, sweater vests, and nice dark washed colored jeans. While at home, Andrew is very informal with usually a pair of board shorts, or work out shorts on only.
flaws; Has a scar from the stitches his received on his lower back. He also has a tendency to sometimes smell like chlorine after working out in the water. Andrew also

history; Andrew was an only child with his mother and father. It was a family that had no specialties to them. The father was a bank teller while the mother was a housewife, and often went to PTA meetings and volunteered at Andrew's school's at any opportunity. The income wasn't great, and the family often would live check to check in harder times of inflation. Although they knew if there was things that Andrew would want, they could hold out a month by tightening their belt to help accommodate.
When Andrew was young, he was full of a lot of energy that was becoming hard to handle for his mother. At the age of seven she finally enrolled him into the club teams at the nearby public pool for swimming, water polo, and diving. She wanted to exhaust as much energy out of him as she could and even questioned putting him on the synchronized swim team as well, but he protested it so much and had his dad help convince her otherwise.
Andrew started loving the water and became a pool rat in no time, becoming well-known with the other club team members. He never got good at diving, and finally after three years convinced his mom to finally let him drop out of the dive team due to not having an interest in it. He showed prospect in water polo early on though. At first, he was made goalie due to the team already having a set starting line up. Yet, after a year and some of the starters leaving the line up, Andrew was finally put out of the cage and in as a wing man. That was when his colors started to shine as he showed he was a very capable person of playing water polo.
His swimming career was not as good, but certainly more plausible than diving. He mainly only participated in the swim team to stay conditioned. It was also a team where girls and guys practiced together, and at his pre-teen years and early teen years, Andrew was already getting into the game of flirting with girls, therefore he decided to stay on the club swim team. Not to mention his mom stood firmly against letting him quit the swim team.
School wise, Andrew was nothing extraordinary. He was capable of a B average in math, but struggled when it came to English as essay writing was not a skill of his. History was also a sore spot in his brain as he had a problem getting interested in the subject and remembering such old things. In his high school years, he joined the water polo team, and swim team. Coaches 'encouraged' the players to be on the swim team as means of staying conditioned when encouraged really meant they had to do it. As a freshman, Andrew made the varsity team easily. He wasn't included in the starting line up until his sophomore year though.
When he became a senior, Andrew was recruited with a full ride scholarship to play water polo for USC Trojans. Being blinded by this offer, Andrew accepted and never thought twice about applying to other colleges even after the demands from his parents. Sadly, weeks before graduation, Andrew was informed that due to budget problems, the water polo team was cut out at USC, and they revoked his acceptance and scholarship. Andrew was left with nothing at graduation but the embarrassment of having no after high school plans like his fellow classmates.
Things began to become rocky at the home front as Andrew began getting use to being on his parents' support without contributing anything. He constantly went out, came home, ate, and slept. The idea of getting a job never crossed his mind. Finally, his parents stood up after two years and kicked him out of the house a week after his twentieth birthday. Andrew stayed at a friend's house for a short while until he finally scored a job with The Olympic as a lifeguard and moved into an apartment. There, Andrew has settled for two years slowly getting use to the life of relying only on himself. He plans to start taking classes at a Mica Community College once he saves enough money up so that he can take less shifts at The Olympic.
