Assignment 1 - Matthew Kingkade

Hi, I'm Matthew Kingkade. I'm 16 years old and have lived in Lexington my whole life. My main goal this year is to continue the success I've had throughout my first two years of high school. Although I don't enjoy writing, it is a necessary skill that I would like to develop over the next year.

One thing that really geeks me out are sports. Whether it's baseball, basketball, or football I enjoy to watch and play. The sport that really geeks me out the most is baseball. I played baseball for 10 years and even though I don't get to play anymore I still enjoy watching and keeping up with my favorite team, the Yankees, who are currently down 2-0 in the playoffs. Along with playing baseball, I played football in middle school. Recently I have started playing volleyball, unfortunately there are no boys teams in the area.

Below is a picture of my dog and a link to the website I use to keep up with my favorite teams.
