I had a lot of fun with my friends, playing soccer and pool. We used to try and sneak out of school during breaks. My best subject was science, especially biology, and that's what I ended up doing for my degree. My worst subject was algebra. I was never good at it. Enjoy it! Have lots of fun. It's a great time - so have a great time. Being stuck between being a kid and being an adult - so trying to balance the two. I think most teens feel that way. I miss the lack of responsibility! Now I have to worry about so much stuff like work or money. I played handball for my college team, and my happiest memory was when I picked to play for England when I was 17. I spent a lot of free time playing sports - soccer, cricket, and handball. I also did a lot of music. I was born in a small town near Manchester. I spent my teens there until I went to university when I was 18. My parents influenced me a lot, although I only really appreciated it when I was older. Some of my best friends influenced me, too. The fashion I remember most was "emo" fashion because that was something I used to wear.
