Addam Rogers (born March 16, 1990 in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia), is a bogan.
Growing Up
Having spent all his years in the suburb of Acacia Ridge, Addam, sometimes known as 'Adro' to his peers, has adopted a laid back, hobo way of life which reflects his many years in 'A-TOWN'.
Several interesting and life changing experiences have influenced the being of Addam today.
For example, his primary education at Acacia Ridge State School enforced the bogan-ish values Addam holds to this very day.
Despite the fact ARSS may not particularly produce the brightest students apart from Erin, Addam is one special former-pupil who has done his primary school proud.
He has represented his district in Squash, gone on to an illustrious education at Sunnybank SHS.
Long Lost Twin
Primary school friends of Addam's who attend Nyanda SHS first noticed that Matthew, a boy a grade younger held a uncanny resemblence to their former peer and long time friend- Addam.
After informing Matt he may have a long lost twin, his anticipation began to amount!
Soon enough, Matt was infatuated with his new idol, his inspiration!
One fateful and eventful day the two finally met.
The place- the bus stop gate.
The time- approx.
2:45.
Tears of joy and laughter were shed.
It was like everything was right in the world.
Achievements
Addam's caring, thoughtful personality has benefited him in more ways than one over the years.
Take for instance, Addam's silver medal in the QLD Community Spirit (Youth Division) 2004.
He received the prestigous award in reward for his 'braveheart' like actions on a rainy day at the Mortimer Road intersection, Acacia Ridge.
The particular incident involved an aged lady who dropped her groceries.
Addam politely picked them up and helped her carry them to her home, a few streets away.
It may seem minor, but this is not all he has done.
He contributes immensely to the community, doing the local paper run, tutoring children at the local primary school, even fixing local residents' broken anntenas free-of-charge.
He is a shining star within the community, one we all value greatly.
He truly is our very own 'MR FIX IT!'
NEWS update: You can see Addam in the weekly paper, the Southern Cresent.
The paper is usually delivered to suburbs includingAcacia Ridge, Coopers Plains,Rocklea and some surrounding areas.

Addam on a DEEPER level
Of course, Addam's efforts and achievements much outweigh any minor negatives of his character, however to provide you, the reader, with a deeper insight as to the true strength within his character, it is necessary to closely examine the times when Addam fell, the times when he succumbed to a darker force, an evil perhaps.
It started when Addam made friends with a new boy at school.
Being the kind soul he is, Addam spent time with the boy, showed him around, ate lunch with him, and so on.
What Addam didn't know was that the boy had recently been in trouble with the law.
The boy, who for the purposes of this article will be reffered to as "mr X" was wanted for dangerous activites.
Soon enough, the boy started to influence Addam's actions.
Addam started to miss his tutoring times, ceased walking neighbours dogs, and the like.
The community was wondering what had happened to the boy they once knew as an angel.
It was not long before a very close family friend, a cousin in fact, took Addam's arm and guided him towards the light.
His rezndevous with evil spirits was never to be spoke of again, of course, except for his within this article.
It did not take long for Addam to bounce back to his usual bubbly self, creating logos, music and the like, as well as, of course, helping those less fortunate than himself.
Career
Looking ahead...
Addam "the man" Rogers aspires to enjoy a long and fulfilling career in the music industry.
As a teenager today, in his spare time he focuses on music, even when he is in the presence of mates.
His hobbies include mixing songs and crafting lyrics, however he has a genuine passion for music in all its regards.
This has rubbed off on fellow bogan friends, including Mitch, Zak and Dave..His love for such activities involving music will hopefully lead to his full time employment as a musician or alternatively a DJ.
