 Hello fellow classmates, My name is Logan Biggs and I was born in Dallas, Texas on February 3rd, 1998. I have lived in Frisco, Texas since I was in 8th grade, but has always lived in the great state of Texas. I grew up playing soccer since I was 10 and I actually attended Midwestern State University my freshman year on a soccer scholarship.

My favorite type of movies are comedy and action movie...

I, still scared and nervous at day two, decided to talk calmly to the geese.  "Why would you want to eat me, I've done nothing to the two of you besides be friendly, I just met you guys."

One day the geese tell me they will take me to a far away very nice home if ...
