Very Cool Person of the Month:


Johann duHoffmann

I would like to nominate my son Johann duHoffmann for awesome, super cool person of the month. The reasons go beyond explanation but I'll try:

At 11 years old he moved from a small town in upstate NY into New York City to live on his own and attend The School of American Ballet.

Because of his schedule he had to stop regular school after 8th grade. But he continued reading and learning on his own. He took his GED and had scored 110 on a test with a maximum score of 100. He did all three essays.

He's an awesome dancer, graceful, strong and technically beautiful to watch, yet still a masculine hunk.

After finishing at SAB, he continued to dance, while doing his mosaic art murals around New York City, Copenhagen (Denmark), Stuttgart (Germany), Aspen CO and Binghamton NY.

In 2000, at the age of 20, he decided to go to college, got accepted at one of the toughest schools in the country and now in 2004 is graduating, with top grades and top skills and is even thinking about medical school.

• He's a great teacher of dance, juggling (which he is awesome at), English, drama, and has taught at a small private school in Massachusetts to great acclaim.

• He's a great son, always encouraging and loving to his parents, small children and animals. Yet no one, and I mean no one, can tell him what to do. He can talk to anybody about anything and come away with more than he started with. Constantly learning, constantly teaching and a lot of fun, to boot.

IT'S NOT JUST CAUSE I'M HIS MOTHER AND PROUD OF HIM THAT I THINK HE SHOULD WIN THIS AWARD. I THINK THE FACT THAT 28 PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE UNITED STATES ARE COMING TO HIS GRADUATION SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.
