Hi, my name is Stephen P. I am 14 years old. I am a freshman at a high school. I play a lot of basketball, but that is not my favorite interest. I am very good at writing and math. I have good hand-eye coordination, including video games. My favorite movies are Lord of the Rings and Star wars trilogies. I love to spend time with my family and I have a sister. I follow sports teams, except baseball. I like to play the piano and I take lessons. I like music, like rock-n-roll and techno music. I want to be a lawyer when I grow up.
