Hey everyone my name is Nicolas , welcome to my blog. I’ll try to not bore all you guys with my writing so I’ll get straight to it. I am currently entering high school with a dream to one day play in the NBA .Though I may look “tall” to the vast majority of people, I strongly disagree comparing myself to the giants of the NBA. Through the eyes of many I am seen as the loud athlete, but I constantly have to show people that that’s not all I do. At home I often enjoy playing the piano and drums, I have played piano for a long time and drums for 2 years in the band as a percussionist. As a kid I was introduced to martial arts, which is what I believe most kids go through at least once in there life. After watching Power Rangers I just had to find a way to learn “fighting”, and I guess that was the solution. I am a fan of comic books and I also enjoy reading horror stories. Those are probably most of my top hobbies, so I’ll let you go on with your day. Thank you for reading!

YouTube is a website where you have a lot of freedom and accessibility for what you want as entertainment, this website is overall really helpful with all sorts of tutorials and videos to watch depending on what you need. This is probably my most used website seeing as I almost always watch YouTube videos in my free time.

This quote is a very cheeky quote that hides a ton of meaning when you put these simple words together. It sounds like an “old fashioned quote” but you know what they say, with age comes wisdom. Whenever I’m feeling lazy or undetermined to do something, I remind myself about this quote and it just lifts up my mood overall.

The Highlight Factory. Kyrie Irving Career Highlights. YouTube, YouTube, 13 Mar. 2017, www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBa8RZKY3QA.In-text Citation

Around a year ago I would always watch this video over and over again late at night when wanting to quit basketball, I would watch this video to get inspiration for what I would one day want to play like. My favourite current player in the NBA is Kyrie Irving, and it is just fascinating to see him play. He is a good team player and has amazing dribbling skills.
