No one can really say a bad word about this young lad. If he were an animal, he’d be a puppy dog, or if he were a toy, he’d be a stuffed bear; warm, huggable, soft and not mention, cute. They’re traits that he’s aware of but just has no idea how much of an impact he has on people with these traits. That’s probably why he became so popular among the girls of Burlingham, plus to top it all off, he’s quite the keen athlete, competing in various sports such as tennis but more importantly, football aka soccer.

Andrew’s a fun-loving, goofy boy who has a sense of humour. He’s one of those people who’ll crack a joke to break awkward silences or even at the dinner table during Christmas. A majority of the time hardly anyone laughs, but he loves to try. Sometimes he’s considered the class clown, who is constantly sent to the headmaster’s office because of many jokes he likes to play on his teachers. While he sees them as a good laugh, he thinks the teacher will understand the joke and laugh along with the students. However it’s sometimes not the case.

An appreciative young lad, he’ll most probably be the first to say thank you in any given situation or say sorry and try to make it up to you. Often he is seen sculling drinks and taking shots at said parties with his friends. By the way his social life is going; it’s easy to assume that Andrew is a jerk like the majority of the stereo-typical jocks around. One would be assuming wrong if they thought so as Andrew was one of the lesser stuck-up jocks in high school. One would also think that he’s well aware of his popularity back in the days and is aware of his popularity amongst the girls. Well he’s completely oblivious to both of those facts and reckons that the place is just filled with very nice and friendly people. Boy is he wrong. He lives in his little idealist and optimistic world, believing in the good side of people and becoming naive to what they really have to offer personality-wise. Basically, he’s non-judgmental and will frown upon those that are judgmental.

If anyone needs a friend to talk to, Andrew is right there available and open to people’s problems and complaints. Surprisingly, he’s a good listener and takes caution in what he says when he offers his friends advice. He’s an opinionated young man, letting people know how he feels about issues, which is why he would love to be on the debating team if there was any, much to the disapproval of his friends. He’s actually quite smart, hence why his many friends like to call him ‘Brain’, or even ‘Nerd’ -- but that’s only because it gets on his nerves.

Drew likes to keep his own emotions to himself. Actually, he’ll tell a person that but the truth is he has trouble trying to express certain emotions such as sympathy. Some people think that he’s an insensitive jerk because of it, but he’ll frantically tell them that he’s not. In a way, he is insensitive -- pulling a mean joke on someone without realizing how hurt they’d get, to breaking up with girls over text message. Again, he thinks everyone is happy and won’t mind. He horribly assumes that people don’t get hurt by his actions.

The horribly funny thing about him is despite being so fly at sports, he’s not that well-balanced. He’s not exactly the definition of clumsy, but think leaning back against the chair until you fall off unaware, or spinning the microphone like a lasso until you hit someone in the face. Yes, Drew has done both, and more. If counted, he’s probably injured more people off the field than on. Other information…well Drew bought his own car, a Lexus convertible using half of his grandmother’s inheritance money and half of the money he makes at work. He hates the idea of sitting around aimlessly all day and needs something to keep him occupied morning to night. Soccer, writing screenplays for fun and playing music is the only thing he does in his spare time.

history evaluated.

Andrew “Drew” Kensington Henry Jacobs the Third was born on an autumn day on October the thirteenth the year he was born. He was born in a particularly busy hospital in London to upper-class parents Andrew Jacobs the Second and Jane-Anne Jacobs. Drew was born second after his sister Ella who was five at the time and who would’ve known that his parents weren’t going to stop there. A few years after Drew, four more children were to follow and soon the Jacobs’ estate had to be put up for renovation.

When Drew was four, his father -- who was working as a professor at Oxford -- decided for a little sea change and accepted an offer to work at the University of Miami in Florida, USA. Not only did he want a sea change, but he also wanted change from working in such a high-profile job which was not only physically demanding, but took him away from home and his family. After the family packed their bags and traveled on their jet plane to the US of A, the children soon became quickly accustomed to the American lifestyle. His older sister Ella however, refused to live it and found it quite hard until she finally gave in. Growing up in the US caused Drew to lose most of his British accent. Along with his younger siblings, they’re the only ones who speak American while Ella and his parents still maintain their British accents.

At a very young age, Drew began to grow an interest in sport and believing in physical activity, his parents sent him to afternoon sports. However, after a year of stopping and starting sport activities it was soccer that stood out. After seeing him kick around a hackey-sack ever so naturally one day, Drew’s parents decided it was soccer that their son was destined for, and soon enough they sent him to his first soccer training. He was talented. Drew himself realized that soccer was the only sport he seemed to love playing above all the rest; and it was then on that soccer became his first love.

Elementary school for Drew flew by like no one even recognized. He continued to play soccer and became close friends with the boys on his team. At school, he joined soccer team and because of how well he played, he was dubbed the junior jock. No ladies just yet however. It was in the fifth grade that he soon discovered his second love, drama. Wanting their children to take as many extra-curricular activities, their parents then added drama lessons to Drew’s list after seeing that soccer was the only one on it. It seemed a bit loserish at the time for Drew, but he eventually gave in after watching Ella’s performance in her school play. Then, Drew was asked to play Scrooge in their school's Christmas production of "A Christmas Carol" and soon realised that drama was his new love.

In between his sixth year up until the end of junior school he managed to balance soccer and drama. While he wasn’t studying, it was playing around with the football or writing screenplays. And as he continued to play extremely well in soccer, it was drama that seemed to be advancing. Sure, while he had many future college scholarships for soccer waiting, he had changed his mind and wanted to study film and television. His parents were happy that their son wanted to study college in England and encouraged him to enroll. So he did, and received the acceptance letter into Oxford after a few weeks and was then off back to England.

It wasn't until half-way through his first year in university that he could branch out into other area in film and television. Sure, he loved the acting part, but also loved the idea of being behind the scenes and making all the magic happen. He grew an interest in cinematography and found himself head in books about the art and science. It had only helped grow his interest in it. When he finally graduated, his professor recommended he start his cinematography career out with said professor's good friend in Los Angeles. Andrew immediately accepted this offer and moved to Los Angeles upon graduation.
