Swimming, playing the piano, playing video games, spending time with my family
I have been an avid swimmer since I was 8 years old. This lead to me becoming a lifeguard at the age of 15. In addition, I have always loved music, and began studying the piano at age 9. For fun I enjoy playing video games with Super Smash Brothers being my favorite. I love to participate and host on line video game tournaments. In fact, I am in the process of creating and designing a video game at the Vertex School I attend.
