    Throughout my entire life my two biggest interests have been sports and science. As a child I would spend my days playing sports, or whenever my team was playing I would be watching them on television. Unfortunately the football and basketball seasons only last so long, but whenever there were no games on I would be watching the discovery channel and learning about our planet and the creatures who live on it. As I grew older my interests mainly focused on sports because most of my time outside of school was spent practicing for my teams.
