My strengths are......
I started doing martial arts when I was 8 years old, and I've been competing in tae kwon do tournaments ever since. When I was around 12 I switched to competing nationally, and when I turned 15, I started competing for world titles.
I also began this sport called "tricking" when i was about 14-15. Tricking is a sport that combines movements from break dancing, martial arts, gymnastics, parkour, and everything in between. The rush you get from trying a move over and over again for weeks or months at a a time and finally landing it after eating the floor so many times, is not something ive been able to feel in any of the other sports I've been a part of. I still trick for fun when I have the chance.
Strengths, Interests and Passions

For as long as I can remember, I've always had a tough time in school. I was never interested in what was going on, and I couldn't think of a worse way to spend my time.
However, I've always been a very social person and I love meeting and interacting with new people. And that was pretty much the only thing that motivated me to go to school.
When I got to high school, my ability to focus got worse and worse, to the point where I was doing "just enough" in order to pass, if not less.
Thats when my mother found Pacific Sands Academy. Shauna helped me learn the things I was genuinely interested like kinesiology, psychology and zoology and even mysterious happenings throughout history. Thanks to this program, I was able to get my credits doing things I enjoyed. I'm graduating from the Pacific Sands Program of West River Academy in December 2020.

goals
My goals, or the direction in which i see my life going in at this point in time; is to enroll into a community collage. Once I've completed my freshman and sophomore years there, I hope to transfer into a university here in Florida, such as FIU or NSU to study videography, and sports medicine. I haven't fully decided if that's exactly what I want to study, but for now, that's what sounds right to me. Apart from that, another one of my important goals is to be happy and enjoy the life ive been given, spending it with the people I love most, and traveling to wherever I desire. I believe that the meaning of life is to be in the present and to have a story to tell when you're old.
