I am John Nile Fatland and I go by Nile, I was born in Des Moines, Iowa and have lived here ever since. I live with my Mom, Dad and my Sister who is 10. I am 14 years old and attend Roosevelt High School.
I enjoy watching/playing sports such as Football, Basketball and Baseball. I also enjoy playing video games, listening to music and hanging out with friends.
I took this class because I love writing and that it will help me on becoming a even better writer. I love writing but I hate reading and because of that I am going to try to start reading more so I can expand my vocabulary to better myself as a writer.
My favorite sports teams are the Iowa Hawkeyes, Oregon Ducks, Minnesota Vikings, STL. Cardinals and Los Angeles Lakers. I was very disappointed when Oregon lost to Ohio State but there is always next year.
So far I have enjoyed High School and what it has to offer. I am planing to play Baseball in the spring for Roosevelt.
I want to play Football again but I am not sure if I am big, strong or fast enough to take all the hits or potential concussions. I quit Football back in 7th Grade because it seemed as in everyone became giants and I just stayed the same size. I have never been a fast or big person but I still love to watch Football and play Football with friends.
I like playing Basketball the most out of my three favorite sports because I love the tempo of the game and how competitive it is. I don't play Basketball for Roosevelt but I play daily at the YMCA and my backyard.
I am not sure how long I will be in Iowa because my Mom wants to move back to her home state of California so we can live with my Grandma. I don't really want to move because I like Iowa and Roosevelt, she does say that it will be in a couple years so I guess I don't have to worry.
After High School I want to go to The University of Iowa and if I move to California I want to go to California Berkley, UC Santa Barbara or UCLA. I want to go to college because I feel like I fare better in the world if I have one.
Lately my routine has been going to school, coming home for about 30 minutes, playing basketball at the Y, coming home an eating dinner, taking a shower and going to bed, not the most exciting life but I am alright with it.
So that is my very exciting, action packed life.
