Sport, Cars, Technology

I have always had an extensive interest in sports. I have been watching and playing since I was 3. I have seen the rise and fall of many legends in football, basketball, baseball, and soccer. I have studied old players and stats since I was in 4th grade. The mathematics of the stats has always fascinated me. In addition to this, I have always loved cars. The way the engine is made up of many different parts has always drawn me to want to learn how they work. I hope to be a mechanic one day, just like my grandpa, who always taught me about cars.
