I am a sixteen year old boy who lives in France. We just moved here in 2016 because my dad got a new job. I have an older brother who studies physics. I also enjoy math, physics and chemistry. I also enjoy history and languages. Someday I might go to engineering school. I am a very active person who loves most sports and loves to try them out. So far I have learned how to snow ski since I could walk and if I become an engineer, I would love to design ski lifts. I started out taking gymnastics and then took Judo for 7 years. I have also learned Rugby and took swimming. Right now I like to run and lift weights and can do that with my dad and my friends. Sometimes when I am with my grandfather, we play golf together.

I am 16 years old right now and I am living with my parents in a city near the capital. I don’t have any brothers or sisters, so I am the only child in the house; and I have a great relationship with my parents. Both of them are very funny and kindly with me, and we love doing things together. Every summer, we travel to the countryside, and we enjoy a lot going for a walk in the middle of nature and visiting new places. I love playing the piano, and I share this passion with another friend. We go together to classes and we enjoy a lot singing and playing the piano with our teacher. Nowadays, I am assisting to a gym, and I like sports such as basketball, volleyball or swimming, and I sometimes practice them at school with my classmates and friends. I also like doing other things during my free time such as playing videogames, computing, graphic design, going for a walk in the countryside (something that I like doing specially with my parents) and taking care of my dog, a little Yorkshire Terrier, Charlie.
