Jamie Tanguma

I am Jamie. I am an identical twin. I am an athlete. I am a writer. I am an artist. I am an optimist. Those are the words I can use to sum up the past 18 years of my life.

Since I was able to run, I’ve been in every sport you can think of, being like any other active young kid, running around and enjoying the beauty of competition, at times a little too much. When I'm not spending my time practicing, I enjoy writing. I have written short stories, novels, and comic books-- I love putting pen to paper and creating imaginary worlds. I started drawing to put faces to the characters I made, it’s something I started and never stopped. Although I’m nothing but mediocre, I find it a good activity to do when I want to step away from the stress, and hopefully one day I can be able to call myself an actual artist. That’s only a short summary of what I enjoy spending my time doing.

As for what I hope to be doing in the future, I want to go to the University of Texas, study journalism and write articles about the beauty in sports. That’s where I’ll be spending the next four years starting next fall. I’m excited for the change of scenery, being in a big city has always been a plan for me.
