Addison Siegel: Scorpio Man

“Determined and Forceful, Emotional and Intuitive, Powerful and Passionate, Exciting and Magnetic,” These are the qualities typical of a man born between October 24 and November 22, making him a Scorpio. Addison Brian Siegel, born November 9, embodies all of these qualities. Addison is from Chatham, New Jersey. He lives with his mother, his father, his younger sister Chelsea, & the family dog Everett. Sports have played a big part in his life since he was little. He has been playing baseball as a catcher since he was able to hold a bat. As a senior, he was the high school varsity baseball captain. He even led his team in batting average. He also loves to play tennis. He has also played since he was little, but had to stop in high school because tennis season coincides with baseball season. The Yankees are a big part of his life. He loves all things Yankees! He is ready to quote any Yankees fact or statistic at any moment. One of his favorite channels is the YES network, an entire network dedicated to the Yankees. Skiing is also important to him. His family owns a house in Stratton, Vermont where they go to get away from it all and ski.

Determined and Forceful:

Addison has had to work hard all of his life. All throughout high school he worked as a lifeguard. He has even saved two people’s lives. They were in the act of drowning and Addison did his job wonderfully and saved their lives. After seeing them struggling to swim, he jumped into the water to save them without a second thought.
Ever since Addison was a little boy, he wanted to be architects like his parents. He looked up to them and respected them; therefore he wanted to be like them. But when he got to middle school, he realized that his strengths were in the math & science areas as opposed to the design. He won multiple awards in the areas of math and science and began taking advanced classes in the areas. He placed first place in the Physics Olympics at his high school and second place in the Conquer the Hill competition, a competition where competitors had to build robots to do various tasks. He is determined to succeed and is motivated my failure. He refuses to fail.

Emotional and Intuitive:

Addison’s family is the most important thing in his life. Every year for Christmas he receives a special Christmas Edition Hess truck from his grandfather (batteries included). His younger sister also describes a brother who always let her hang out with him & his friends, he never excluded her. She describes Addison as “quiet and a good friend.” He even looks up to his parents. At one point he wanted to be an architect, just like both of his parents. They really inspire him to do well and succeed. Family is a big part of Addison’s life and his whole family is very close-knit. They spend much of their time skiing or snowboarding together in Vermont. His sister, Chelsea, describes a time where he refused to teach her how to ski because he did not want to stay on the bunny hill the whole time. Despite this incident, Chelsea and Addison are very close. She describes her older brother as “Quiet, a good friend, athlete, loves sports (especially the Yankees), and he makes a ridiculous amount of movie quotes.”

Powerful and Passionate:

The most rewarding part of Addison’s life has come from his work with his church youth group. While in his youth group, he participated in fundraisers and even a mission trip to Belize. He describes the trip as “Rewarding, tough, sad, depressing, awesome, exciting, and so cool.” In Belize, he got the real experience of what it feels like for somebody to live in poverty. For an entire week he lived in a bamboo hut with the other members of his group while they worked to build a playground for the children in the village that he was staying in. The children in the village were very grateful for the playground that was built. None of them had ever seen a playground before and they had to ask their parents what it was. This trip was very significant in Addison’s life because it gave him a greater appreciation for the life he had. It was the reason for his “I can do almost anything attitude.” He realized that he has a lot to be thankful for so he lives his life to enjoy what he has. It has also taught him never to complain because there is always somebody out there who is worse off than him. These are the philosophies that Addison chooses to live his life by.
Addison also enjoys reading books and watching movies. He enjoys spending a night in just reading a good book, although he does not have much time for that now because his college schedule is so demanding. His favorite author is Michael Crayton, the author behind Jurassic Park and E.R. His favorite books by Crayton are “The Last world” and “Andromeda-State of fear.” He loves “all of the unrated movies” and the classics. His favorites include Star Wars, Harry Potter (yes, he has read all of the books), Wedding Crashers, Pineapple Express, and Stepbrothers. He is very passionate about the movies and the books that he reads. His sister claims that he makes an insane amount of movie quotes.

Exciting and Magnetic:

When Addison walks into a room, he seems like Mr. Joe Cool. He is very extroverted & excitedly talks about the party he went to last night. When asked what he would change about himself he said he would not change anything because “I can do almost anything.” He has a magnetic personality and is willing to open up about anything. He is also extremely fun to listen to. He talks with excitement in his voice and uses great details (even though sometimes they are a little exaggerated). Addison has no trouble making friends and has already made many friends here during his short time on campus.
