Hello! my name is James and I'm 19 years old.
I was born December 5th in Placerville, CA. I will get
to be an Uncle soon. My sister lives in San Diego and
is going to have a son. They are going to name him
Diego it means James in Spanish and San means saint.
She is due in July.
My interests are: Hiking in the woods, I dream to
travel around the world. Geography and study the maps,
bowling, shoot pool, walk at the beach, explore
wildlife, collect coins and foreign stamps, go
horseback riding, take photography, work, fix and open
up computers. I can type up to 52 wpm. Learning French
and Turkish language. I'm in school because, I can
major into computers, geography, have a wonderful
career to make lots of money to use it for leisure in
traveling and have a wonderful life.
Second of all, I'm learning English to improve my
reading and writing. Because I get shy, I'm trying and
forcing to communicate to new people. I hope I will
succeed in school with my goals of getting well grades
but, it takes time to take some steps and once you are
on top of the world you have success like how the
cartoon Pinky and the Brain are those two laboratory
mice are trying to take over the world...
I have a girlfriend who lives in Istanbul, Turkey. I
have met her over on the internet since two years. She
is 18 years old. Right now she studies really hard at
a private high school at Bahcesehir University. It is
a sister school to La Costa Canyon High School down in
San Diego. My girlfriend wants to major in
bio-chemistry. If she passes these big exams in
school, she will be able to come to California to meet
me for the first time. We have been sending gifts to
each other, often we talk on the phone and mostly we
chat to each other over on Yahoo Messenger. I wish her
good luck to major and come to the states.
I like to read books at the library or at school.
Mostly I read at school. My favorite books I read are:
"The Pearl", by John Steinbeck, "The Giver", by Louis
Lowry, "I know why the Caged Bird Sings", by Maya
Angelou. I forget the title of this story about a man
goes back home to London from France on horsecar who
owns a bank. It was about the French Revolution. I
liked World History class in High School. I read
about so many fascinating subjects that happened in
names of ages in history.
In 5th grade I read a book called, "Sarah Plain
and Tall". It was a good book. But at the end of the
story, the writing was in cursive. I could not
understand it but, I tried. It really amazed me when I
finished reading the last page.
During middle school, I read a story about a
famous women in Chicago who used to work in a candy
factory back in those days and eat ice cubes during
the summer. But, I forget what her name is. She had
to do with something about women’s rights or, taking
care of infants and children (babysit).
