Painting/Drawing, Football (Soccer) Player, Reading
I'm a very avid artist who has made a large array of paintings and drawings, which I like to sell to my surrounding community. I like to keep a record of all of my pieces on my Instagram page 'DivineCreations'. (under the handle 'divinecreations17_)
I am a first year footballer at Lawrence University where I aspire to make a glittering career in collegiate soccer. Football has been my biggest passion since I was young and it is something that I hold very dear to my heart. In my 4 years at Lawrence, I hope to have a very memorable and successful career.
I love to read and have read close to 300 different books spanning multiple genres. My favourite is science fiction, but I have found joy reading thrillers, mysteries, fantasy, and more. Something that I am proud of is my imrpovised library in my bedroom back home, which is a colourful array of book columns by different authors in different genres, all balanced carefully on my piano stand.
