I am twelve years old and in Grade 7. I have several hobbies and interests. These include soccer, basketball, football, watching movies, msn/facebook, paintball and playing with my friends. In soccer I play sweeper for my school team and for teams in the summer I play striker and right wing.Our school has actively involved us in helping the homeless and we go on a monthly basis to help them in the shelter. Paintball is a strategic sport which helps you to develop quick physical reactions and requires you to use your mind. The basic steps in paintball are fast reflexes; know where your opponent is, think on your feet and most importantly have fun pretending to be an army soldier but not causing loss of life. I like to travel and have been fortunate enough to have visited several places. I enjoyed surfing in Hawaii and going to Montreal to play soccer for the finals. My future plans is to develop my soccer skills and perhaps play professional soccer one day. Or follow in my family business of real estate development. |
