{"Don't Get My Personality And Attitude Twisted. My Personality Is Me. My Attitude Depends On You.” }
-Unknown
|{Personality}|
{+Determined | +Affectionate | +Optimistic | -Distant | -Dishonest | -Silly}
Benjamin is a very determined young man and hopes that his dreams come true but he is taking it one step at a time. Although, he does love being a teacher, it gets exhausting and boring sometimes and you just want something new and exciting. Ben really encourages his students especially the Seniors to go for their dreams and leap over the obstacles that will come there way. Ben is an affectionate, positive person and it shows within his smile. He is a person that cannot stand it when someone is negative towards almost every situation in their life, or towards anything really. Ever since his last year in high school, Ben became a very distant and reserved person, he wouldn't tell anyone anything about his personal life unless he knew you well enough and knew that you wasn't going to tell anyone. At that time, he also became very untrustworthy towards most people but they eventually forgave him after graduation since they were never going to see him again. But overall, Benjamin is a great person to be around and if you need a new friend, he would be your guy.

Sacramento, California.
|{History}|
Life wasn't really easy for Ben since his family wasn't all that wealthy, more like middle class. But they managed to get by with his parents working extra shifts and him staying at home to watch his little brother and sister. He learned how to fend for himself at a very young age, eleven to be exact, and his parents were really happy to see him improve on his skills. But one night, it was raining really hard and there was a report of an accident nearby. The car was total, the victim rushed to the hospital. After a few hours or so, his father came home, a little bit distraught and sat in his chair and just busted out crying. His brother and sister was already asleep in bed, tucked in nice and tight, and he was comforting his father, letting him know it was going to be alright.
When Benjamin turned thirteen, it was when he developed a talent for singing and playing the piano. His father signed him up for lessons at the nearby center for gifted youngsters, also entitled Miss Kimberly's Talent Development. He went there almost everyday after school and Miss Kim would always praise him to the class and his father. "He has an unique gift." Miss Kim would tell his father every single time and his father just gleamed with absolute delight. Because of his interest in music, Ben joined choir and the band when he got to high school and was very pleased that he did. He received many solo awards and even made some new friends. They weren't the best of friends at times but hey, they were better than being alone.
After high school and getting his bachelor's and master's in musical education, he was hired by his former local high school to teach the music classes. Miss Kim also hired him, herself to teach vocal lessons at her center. Ben couldn't say no to that so he gladly accepted. Well, not Ben is currently not married, single and he misses his family more than anything. He plans on going to visit them very soon and hope that his plans does not change because he really needs to and really want to see them.

|{Happiest Memory}|
Ben happiest memory was finally graduating high school and getting accepted into UCLA, majoring in Music and minoring in Journalism. His parents were happy for him as well since they did pack his bags for him and wished him the best of luck.
|{Saddest Memory}|
Finding out that someone actually loved him, someone he actually had a chance with and he didn't take the opportunity to ask her out so she went out with his best friend, who he is no longer friends with, instead. It crushed his heart and his world.
