Andrew is a 16-year-old junior at Birmingham Community Charter High School. This is his third year at Birmingham, and he likes this school because of the academics and how good the school is all around, such as its sports. Throughout his years in Birmingham, he has met new friends along the way and is looking forward to his last years in the school. Even though this isn’t his home school, he chose to come here to try to pursue a better education for him self because of how well this school is with their academics, and he’s trying to get into a 4-year college, and since Birmingham is one of the best schools in the valley, he wanted to come here.

Andrew’s hobbies are going out and boxing. He has been doing boxing for almost four years, and ever since his first day, he has fallen in love with the sport. His love for the sport goes beyond, and he loves watching and doing it. He constantly watches boxing events so he can better learn techniques and become a better boxer. He likes to go out to malls, views, or go on walks on the beach. He loves going to the beach because to him it’s very peaceful and relaxing, it’s like a getaway for him from everything.

He likes to listen to music and hang out with friends. His favorite type of music is R&B because that’s the music he listened to growing up during his life. His favorite artists are A$AP Rocky, Drake, and  Young Thug. He loves listening to music because it helps him relax and helps him go through his day. It would be rare to see him not listening to music, but when he’s not listening to music, he feels like he’s missing something apart of him because music helps him go through his day. When he goes to the gym for boxing, he always listens to music because it makes him more energized in a way, or sometimes to keep him focused. An instrument he wants to learn how to play is the guitar because it’s something that has piqued his interest since he was a little kid; he just never learned it.

Andrew likes playing video games with his friends. His favorite games are Madden and Call of Duty. He plays the game mainly on the weekend at night because that’s usually when he has time to play. He likes to go out a lot, especially with friends. He likes going out with friends because with them everything he fun and he just has a good time with them in general. Now Andrew is in Journalism with Mr. Hughes for the first time, and he enjoys this class and hopes he becomes a better writer during the time he is here.
