My
                      name is Abe. I am a junior at Central Catholic High School.
                      Even though Central Catholic is a very good school, the
                      work content does not seem very challenging to me. My grade
                      point average is one of the better ones in my junior class.
                      I am also on the Central Catholic Varsity soccer team.
                      I've been a starter for the team for 3 years in a row.
                      We were successful in winning the Mt. Hood Conference again
                      this year. I hope to win the conference again next year
                      so it will make it 4 years in a row. I still do not know
                      which college I want to attend. At this moment, I want
                      to try and go to a college down in California, but if I
                      were to get into university of Portland, I would still
                      consider staying in Oregon. My mom wants me to go to a
                      top college such as Stanford University or Harvard University.
                      
                      I want to become either a doctor or a professional soccer
                      player. My dream has been to become a doctor since I was
                      a little boy. I like doing work that involves helping other
                      people. Even though it is a lot of work to become a doctor,
                      I still wish to try to become one. I want to go to a good
                      university and learn new things. People that want to become
                      a doctor have to go to school for more than 10 years. In
                      order to become a doctor, you have to dedicate a lot of
                      time and money. I also practice soccer everyday for many
                      hours. The running for soccer is very hard. Sometimes the
                      running is so hard, your chest starts to hurt or you have
                      trouble breathing. I look forward to tournament times the
                      most. You get to talk, play, and do all sorts of things
                      with your team; it's as if they were your family. If I
                      didn't become a doctor or a professional soccer player,
                      I think I would cry. I'm just kidding about the crying
                      part, but I think I would be very disappointed.
                      
                      When I was little, I used to go on vacation with my family
                      many times. I've been to Hawaii, California, Florida, Denver,
                      and Japan. I've been to Hawaii 7 times. Every time we go
                      to Hawaii, we go to the big island. Since we owned a condominium
                      in Hawaii, we stay there for free.  In Hawaii, I've experienced
                      surfing and scuba diving. When I went to California, I
                      visited Disney Land. Since I was a kid, it was a lot of
                      fun. In Florida, I went to Disney World. I still remember
                      what it was like to go there. It truly is a child's dream
                      land. Now that I'm 17, I don't think I would have as much
                      fun there. On occasion I still go to Denver. The reason
                      for this is that we have close family friends who live
                      in Denver. We've been family friends for a very long time
                      and it is always a pleasure to see them. I do not go to
                      Japan as much as I used to and it is a very sad thing.
                      I hope to go back to Japan one day to visit
