Matthew Purevtseren

I am the middle child; I have an older sister and a younger brother. My sister is attending UCI, and my brother is at Oak Hills. I have been living in Santa Clarita for 2 and a half years. Before moving to Santa Clarita, I lived in Orange County for 4.5 years. I have one dog, a German shepherd, and he is two years old. He loves to play fetch, take car rides, and tug of war. 

I have been playing basketball since I was 6 years old.  I love to play basketball because I grew up watching my dad play professionally, and everyone in my family plays basketball too. I started playing during third grade.  Something I love while I'm playing basketball is whenever something goes the way I want to, such as when I score, and whenever my team wins. 

My favorite type of food is anything sweet, such as ice cream or candy. I am not picky with what I eat, but I don't like trying out new foods. I love sweets, and will eat them whenever, even over meals sometimes. My favorite type of candy is sour gummy worms and jawbreakers. My favorite dessert is cheesecake.
