She finds that sports play an important part in her life since everyone in her family is into or have played sports. She played soccer when she was younger, but she no longer plays due to her focusing on her studies. However, she still watches many games either live or on tv–like soccer, basketball, baseball and football. She would like to be more active in fitness, even though she would have to make extra time for that either after school or on the weekends. She wants to have much more fun this year since this is her last year in high school and she wants to make it count and make it memorable.
