Hello, my name is Panagiotis Vasilounis. I was born here in America but my parents were not. My mom was born in New Zealand which is right below Australia, and my dad was born in Athens the capital of Greece. I am a very outgoing person. I am very friendly and I love making new friends. Some of my hobbies are drumming, playing guitar, playing soccer and watching t.v. My favorite band is named Avenged Sevenfold. They are a hard rock band whose drummer was my idol. Unfortunately he passed away December 28, 2009. I am also a cancer survivor which I think is pretty cool. I had lymphoma which is a cancer of the immune system but for some reason it formed in my knee bone. After 3 months of chemo I was left with half of my knee bone which made it really hard to walk around or do anything for that matter. After a year my knee grew back since it takes bone a very long time to grow. However this interfered a lot with my drum playing because it’s really hard to play drums using only one foot. I had to wait a whole year just to get back to playing. I also remember having a headache for 4 months straight. It was a spinal headache which meant that whenever I stood up straight, I would get a really bad headache. I had to lie down all the time. It was pretty annoying. Speaking of annoying, I have an annoying 11 year old brother who thinks he is the boss of everyone. I try to be a great role model for him. I can’t tell if it’s working or not though. I love laughing. I don’t think I can go one sentence without having a smile on my face. All in all I’m a pretty crazy, funny, nice person who loves music and has had his share of bad luck but still looks at the bright side of life. I suggest everyone does the same.
sometimes it takes a loooooooooong time to see the influence you are having on someone, like your brother, especially when they can both admire you and want to be like you but also want to be their own person.
