Song Name: Started From The Bottom by Drake.

The song above partially describes my education side of life…I’ve attended and graduated from John Dewey High School(a school viewed as an underachieving high school with a surprisingly low graduation rate by the mayor and DOE). I’ve started from the bottom(graduating from a not so good HS and being able to attend Baruch College(a college I’ve wanted to go to) and to further study my majors(Business accounting/finance).

Having Fun And Excercising

Handball is one of my favorite sports because the game itself is rather complicated. The main goal of handball is to aim precisely for the ball and return the ball coordinately to the wall. The sport may look easy but is surprisingly hard to engage upon. I enjoy playing handball in the summer with my friends. The game can be played solo, two players, or four players with basically small risk factors. It’s extremely easy to play handball because most public parks contain at least one handball court. Having Fun And Excercising

Extremely difficult sport.
Extremely difficult sport.

Swimming is really difficult(I’m not even joking). I started learning how to swim at the age of 12(my parents forced me to) and began to fall in love with swimming after learning how to swim. My favorite stroke is freestyle because the most energy required in swimming is an technique called freestyle in which both our hands are in constant motion along with our legs, the body must align itself to the water surface for maximum proficiency. The reason I like swimming is because of the coolness of the water circulating around my body and once my goggles gathers moisture, my vision becomes blurry in which excites me because I have no clue when I’m about to stop or not. The feeling of swimming and barely seeing anything ahead of me is extremely nice. I used to swim everyday in this fitness gym called “Bally” and the sport itself helped tone down my body. After watching Michael Phelps win the Olympics in 2012, I’ve began to swim more often and idolize Michael Phelps into my swimming routine.leagueLeague Of Legends

League of Legends is a MOBA(Multiplayer Online Battle Arena). The game itself is quite popular among teenagers specifically. The community is extremely bad and toxic meaning people in game will be experiencing negative attitudes and demoralizing other players even if they are in the same team. I like playing this game a lot because everything is free, meaning I don’t have to spend a single penny to be equal to other players unless for decorative purposes. The game is highly strategical and requires attention to certain parts of the game and champions itself. A lot of my friends also play this game and I was introduced to this game back in high school and couldn’t stop playing it ever since. A normal game ill last at least 20 minutes up to 1 hour depending on strategical team fights, consisting of five players on each team. I had a lot of fun playing this game and to also watch other professional players play as well.

Road Biking

 

Biking is also one of my favorite sports because it’s thrilling and dangerous at the same time. During busy traffics I enjoy biking along the middle of the road in between cars because some drivers tend to open their car doors without analyzing their environments in which causes bikers to accidentally collide with the car doors. Biking allows me to travel to somewhere far away without having to worry about paying for public transportation. Biking also helped me tone my legs during the summer(including a nice tan). I enjoy feeling the wind and having to empty my mind while cycling to enjoy the scenery before me 😀

Asian Life

Asian Life

My life is pretty simple,  growing up in a Asian family, I’m taught to respect my elders and care for my fellow brothers and sisters. Every weekend I would go outside and dine with my family at different Chinese Restaurants to gather and talk of what’s happening during our weekdays. My favorite sports are limited to the weather except for swimming which is indoor sport. I enjoy travelling to different places with my bike. The joy of biking to someone far away from home thrills me because my senses sharpen at everything that’s new around me.
