About Me

My name is Luca. I am a proud third generation Italian that was born and raised in Canada.  All of my grandparents were born in Italy and immigrated to Canada as teenagers for a better life.  Their goal was to work hard and provide their families with a better lifestyle.  I have been raised in an Italian household with strong Christian values. I have been playing basketball and baseball for years. One of my goals is to hit the ball out of the park in baseball.  I am really exited to report that I just made the grade 9 basketball team at my high school.  This has been a goal of mine for several years.  I also love playing soccer with friends and family.  My favourite summer activity is wake surfing.  I started wake surfing when I was 9 years old and I was a little bit timid.  Last summer, after much time and dedication I was able to land my first 360.   Another thing I like to do is play FIFA on my Xbox. One hobby that I have is I’ve been taking piano lessons since I was in grade 1.  I am currently in grade 6 piano.  A couple of songs that I enjoy playing are House of The Rising Sun by Animal and Up in Flames by Coldplay.  When I was 10 years old, my dad bought me a ping pong table for my birthday.  After years of playing I have developed into a good ping pong player.  My dream is to become a professional basketball or soccer player because they are my two favourite sports to watch.  In reality I will probably graduate from University with a Business Degree and work as a Financial Advisor like my father.

What we do in life echoes in eternity is my favourite quote because, It’s from the bible and it’s also from one of my favourite movies called Gladiator.  Basically what this means is that whatever you do big or small it will be remembered by someone.  For example, making a good impression on someone, making a difference in the world by feeding the homeless or fighting for you country or mentoring a younger person.  It is important to work hard so that you reap the benefits of a job well done.

 

 

This is my favourite video because I love the TV show The Office.  This video is from a youtube channel also called The Office.  This video has all the best pranks that the character Jim does against Dwight.  It includes pranks like Jim impersonating Dwight and many other funny scenarios.

I love this photo because this is where I spend most of my summer.  We own a cottage there. It is a beautiful place where my family and I go wake surfing, play soccer, basketball and a lot more.  The story behind this photo is that we climbed almost three kilometres to the top of a mountain to get this view.  I took this photo on my iPhone X, after I did some editing,  I think looks amazing.

Youtube is my favourite website because it gives me access to all types of media.  It is an easy way to search for content and learn how to do things.  One of my favourite youtubers is Mr. Beast.  His videos are funny and entertaining.  He challenges people to do crazy often difficult acts to make ‘big money’.

Now you know a little bit more, about me!
