Jonathan

My first name Jonathan comes from my maternal great grandfather, Jonathan David Schmidt Sr. He was a German Brethren minister and the name Jonathan means "Gift of God".

My middle name Samuel comes from my paternal grandfather, Hilburne Earle Knowles Sr., who's nickname is Sam (while in the Navy, he was nickhamed "Sam Spade" because he was always looking into things!). The name Samuel means "Asked of God" and Mommy and Daddy spent a lot of time asking God for me! My mommy also found out that my great great grandfather on my mom's side was Jacob Samuel Schmidt. Yet another Samuel!

I came into the world on Saturday, August 19, 2000 at 8:55am weighing in at 8 lbs. 15 ozs. and measuring 21 inches long.

I'm in 2nd grade and my favorite subject in school is Science. I'm involved in activities outside of school such as Mad Science, Young Rembrandts and Cub Scouts (I'm currently a Wolf). Some of my other hobbies include Hot Wheels/Nascar, Crazy Machines, Club Penguin, Poptropica and LEGOS®!
