Who Am I?
I am a Junior at Freestyle Academy in Mountain View, California. I enjoy the 49ers, Giants, Warriors, Sharks, filmmaking and video games. A defining trait I have is how I organize things into lists/rankings. The top 5 athletes I watch and follow are Nick Bosa, Steph Curry, Logan Webb, Brock Purdy, and Fred Warner. The top 5 games I have played are Horizon Forbidden West, Helldivers 2, College Football 26, Ready Or Not, and Red Dead Redemption 2. Finally, the top 5 music artists I listen to are Eazy-E, Kendrick Lamar, Metro Boomin, Playboi Carti and Lana Del Rey. I honestly struggle to write in a creative manner that expresses my full thoughts, so lists and rankings are an easy workaround for me.
What are my core values?
My core values would have to be a hard work ethic, a need for adventure, and silliness.
What am I currently passionate about in life?
I am very passionate about football. During the NFL season, I have very little free time as I both play football and watch the sport extensively. You can forget making plans during a Sunday or on a 49ers gameday, as I will most likely be glued to the TV watching football. During the offseason, I kill time by mock drafting, writing about football online and playing football with my friends. When I’m not doing something football related, I am usually playing video games. My taste in video games varies a ton depending on what I am feeling, but usually involves some sort of shooting or open world.
Why did I choose to become a Freestyle student?
I chose to be a freestyle student because I was extremely interested in being able to make films, since schoolwork forced me to take a 2 year break from filming. I also heard really great things about the English class and decided that it was worth half of my school day.
