Me

Hello, everyone my name is Ryan Newkirk, a Freshman Frackie at Whitney M. Young. Before I was at Whitney Young, I went to Abraham Lincoln Elementary for 6th grade, and Roslyn Road Elementary in the Suburbs. Abraham Lincoln School was a very crowded school, but was alright. It prepared me for the busy atmosphere in Whitney Young.

Things to know about me:

• I am Half Chinese / Half 'MURICAN! My dad was American and my mom is Chinese. I am currently learning Chinese in school right now.
• I have lots of trouble reading Chinese, but I can speak it very fluently and can understand some Chinese Dialects as well. (My mom is from Shanghai, they have a dialect there called "Shanghai-nese". They speak Chinese very differently.)
• I like to do stuff with Computers, Coding, and Robotics. I got to a Robotics State Competition once! 
• I want to learn how to draw better, write better, and I want to try and keep a journal/blog, get into the habit of writing more.
• Although not being very athletic, I enjoy playing badminton, floor hockey, and I like swimming.
• I want to be an Engineer when I grow up. (Or an Astronaut! I'm probably not physically capable of that kind of job though)
• I enjoy listening to music and making music. (Shameless Self-Advertising INCOMING) I make 8-bit music on Soundcloud, if you want to you can listen to it here: Link. I usually don't listen to very popular songs, I just listen to whatever I find, usually Soundtracks for Movies or Video Games. Speaking of which..
• I play many Video Games. Probably too many. But I like games that require strategy and actual cognitive thinking to play. I really like old school games.
• I procrastinate too much. I mean, I published this 5 min. before my lunch period ended on they day that this was due. (I'm currently talking about myself in past tense)
  
  Anyways, I need to go to English right now and show that I've put some effort into my homework, so... see ya!
