Life of an Active Teenager

A 5’6 ½" boy from Pendleton, Oregon dreams of a lot for his future. Loving where he lives and loving the hobbies he does. It's as if life couldn't get any better for Shaw Jerome. He may stress over the little things and mess up every once in a while, but doesn't everyone?

Although his town is far away from other big cities, Shaw enjoys living in Pendleton because it’s quiet and not disturbing. He loves being active and participating in basketball, baseball, football, and track. He is most passionate about basketball and loves playing it in his free time more than anything else. 
One of Shaw’s most memorable times from the past year or so was playing basketball at Lincoln with his friends during summer. He also enjoyed the time he went to Silverwood with Jose and went on the drop slides. When Shaw is with his family, his favorite activities to do with them are watching movies or going to football games. He once went on a trip with them to Hawaii and liked it a lot because of the warm weather and the awesome beaches. In Shaw’s free time, he likes to hangout with his best friends Ryan, Nick, Richard, and Jose. He also likes to support his favorite basketball team, Miami Heat.

When Shaw grows up, he dreams of being a professional athlete. He will do that by working hard and practicing a bunch. He would still like to work on school and get his grades up though. Shaw stresses about grades, but also that he might mess up in sports. His future consists of going to college and raising a family. Even though he likes life as it is, he knows that the future will come soon and thinks about it constantly, preparing for it everyday.
