Hi my name is Julian, I’m in 8th grade and this is my first blogpost of the year in my ELA class. I played for the varsity boys soccer team as the one sport I’ve done this year. Outside of school I play travel soccer, hang out with friends, and play video games. I also enjoy watching soccer and rooting for my favorite team Manchester United. I’ve also been apart of three slice of life challenges and have completed two out of three slice of life's. I’m also very determined when I put my mind to something and work hard to achieve whatever it is I want to succeed at.
