Hi. My name is Jedd. I am 17 years old and a senior in high school. I was
born in the Philippines but I moved to America in 1996. Now I live in Las Vegas,
Nevada.
There are four people in my family. My father is a veterinarian.
He likes animals, but his job is getting difficult because of his old age. He
works part-time as a home healthcare employee. He works hard all the time so
I am proud of him. My mother works at the Bellagio Hotel. She is a nice person
and is very good at cooking. She can cook delicious Filipino foods. She cooks
everyday so I am thankful to her. My mother and father are often busy so I don’t
see them much. My little brother is 8 years old. He is cute but can be annoying
sometimes. He is having a hard time at school so my mother and I often have
to teach him.
I like airplanes. When I was a kid I wanted to become a pilot.
Last year I went to an air show and saw many different kinds of planes. I was
happy to see my favorite planes in person. My favorite plane is the F-15 Eagle.
It looks cool. If I was in the Air Force, this would be the plane I want to
use.
I also like martial arts. When I was a kid I often watched old
kung fu movies. I used to attend a Jeet Kune Do school three years ago, but
I had to stop going because I was having a difficult time with my schoolwork.
My favorite movie is Ong-Bak because the fight scenes are awesome. After watching
this movie, Muay Thai became my favorite martial art. I plan to train in martial
arts again when I graduate.
Video games are my favorite hobby. Whenever I have nothing to
do I play video games. I enjoy playing various kinds of games, but I like fighting
games the most. My favorite fighting game is Tekken 5. I often go to play in
arcades. Since I usually play as the main character, I imitated his hairstyle.
I am going to go to UNLV after graduating from high school this
year. I will study kinesiology. I intend to become a physical therapist because
I want to help injured people. Because my Japanese class was so fun, I plan
to take Japanese in college too.
