Hi, my name is Elliot Mawby. I'm 16 and have an older brother that also went to Henry Clay. I've lived in the same house in Lexington all my life and am a hardcore UK fan.

I had a vacation filled summer this year. I went to visit my Aunt in Manhattan and stayed in her apartment in the upper west side. I'm big into music and saw a ton of performances there. I went to two jazz clubs and saw both the New York philharmonic and the City ballet. It was an excellent vacation filled with tons of stops at outstanding restaurants including momfuku (which Justin Hui is super jealous about).

I used to play the piano and now play the trumpet in both the Wind Ensemble and Jazz band at HC. I've been playing the trumpet since fifth grade and thoroughly enjoy playing. In fact I attended a two week music camp this summer at EKU. I'm a much more math science oriented person than English so I want to become some sort of engineer however I have no clue what type or why I want to be an engineer.

I enjoy playing sports but I'm not serious enough (translation: too lazy) to play any sports for Henry Clay. I've been playing recreational soccer since I was four but just stopped this year. I also play Ultimate Frisbee on Henry Clay's team and played in an adult summer league over the summer. My parents got me into racquetball which is an immensely entertaining sport that I recommend to anyone looking for a work out and a good time.

I'm probably on the computer almost all the time that I'm at home and my favorite website has to be http://www.youtube.com/ because of all the hilarious and informative videos.
