My likes:High School Musical 3, having parties, hanging out with my friends, Elvis, Spiderman, wearing a tuxedo, going to the movies, cooking, dogs, working hard, fishing, Cubs games, pizza. My story:I graduated high school! I am still managing the boy’s basketball team, and I coach the high school cross country & track teams! I love acting, dancing and musicals. Senior year, I was voted “Best Personality” in the class! I also work at Christian Home. People say I’m very encouraging and helpful. At basketball games, I tell my team “Let’s go guys!” and I help with the water and towels. I often listen to “Hound Dog” by Elvis. I really love my grandparents, mom, dad & sister. LifeMyWay means:I chase my dreams. I run outside for three miles because Coach tells me I have to work hard. I can’t stop, I have to keep going. My parents help me reach my dreams. My dreams:I want to live on my own with my buddies. After college, I want to be a science teacher and a basketball head coach, so I can teach other kids and help them with their homework. One day, I want to get married and have two kids and two dogs, but I can wait for that. My video:My photos: |
