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
