Hello, my name is Michael, and I am 18 years old. I was born in California but moved to Korea when I was 4 years old because of my father's relocation and was raised there. Currently, I live in Wisconsin, USA. My hobbies are playing pool and reading car magazines. I love cars, especially Japanese cars. My favorite car is Matsuda RX-7. I also love listening to Rap and Rock music. I don't like cleaning, so my room is dirtier than an animal's.

      There are 4 people in my family: my parents, little brother and I. My father is very strict, but I respect him. He works as a professor and teaches Civil Engineering. Though my mother had used to teach Interior Design at college before my brother was born, she is a housewife now. She is gentle but sometimes worries too much. My brother is very sociable and active. When I quarrel with him, it is always me who gets scolded.

      I am a senior student at West High School. The buildings of my school are old, but there are about 2500 students. I have 7 classes every day. My favorite subject is English because its materials are not hard and I get many opportunities to read interesting books. I participate in activities after school. Although I don't play any sports in autumn, I wrestle in winter and play tennis in spring. I love sports. I drove a car to school last year, but since my family moved here from Korea this year, my mother uses the car now. So I wake up early in the morning and have to run to catch a bus. Poor me…

      I volunteer at the hospital in Wisconsin University in Saturday mornings and later on I go out to play. On Sundays, I'm very busy working on my homework.

      Wrestling is a tough sport physically and mentally. After practices and games, I get exhausted. I thought about quitting about 3 times but kept wrestling in order to become a strong man. I made a lot of friends through wrestling. They are so much fun. I frequently go out with them and play basketball and American football. Wrestling is very important in my life.
