I go to the gym 6 days a week because I need a rest day. My goal is to become a professional in Lacrosse. I love this sport so much. I've been playing since sophomore year and haven't stopped. This is actually a goal that has a chance of happening because of my record and if my team wins an upcoming tournament I will be one step closer. I have a net outside my house that I use almost every day to train and perfect my craft.

If that does not go through I will become a coder. That is a thing that I've been doing for the past 10 years now so I guess you can say I am good at it. Finding a really well-paid, secure job that I enjoy is my other goal in life.

A thing that people might not guess about me is that I have a stutter. This is something that I have been dealing with since a young age. In recent times it has gotten drastically better. My hobbies consist of doing typical nerd things like reading comics and playing video games, hanging out with friends, going to the gym and lacrosse. I hang with my friends a lot because I am really close with them.

For a job right now I work at Staples at the Christiana mall. I work in the print section. I print all the things that you could think of like papers, posters, cards and pictures. Due to school and life things I typically work for 4 days every other week. The shifts most of the time are 4 hours but I do get some 8 hours when I am free.

Covid was one of the things that affected me in terms of school. It was a real bummer because I was looking forward to going to the campus but at least we get to go back soon I hope. Even though I had to do online school, I can honestly say that I am very happy and grateful that I get to attend U.D.
