Sharing Life Stories

My grandfather was born in 28/05/1930 Seoul, South Korea. He lived in a simple house and he had 2 sons. They came to Brazil when my father was 11 years.

My grandfather spoke English very well so he was a war translator. He had translated the orders from General MacArthur in the Vietnam War. One day he was shot in the wrist but it wasn’t very serious. He helped the Koreans in the war translating the orders from the US Army General, but they lost the war.

To sum up my grandfather was a translator  in the war, he was shot and it was all right, he is very intelligent and polyglot, being fluent in Korean, English and some other languages.

ABOUT ME

         My name is João Paulo, I’m 13 years old. I’m tall; I have black eyes and black hair. I only have one sister, her name is Daniela and she is 15 years old.

         I like soccer, football and video-games. I don’t like noisy places and tests. I don’t mind going to school, staying in the traffic and studying. The only thing I hate is traveling by plane, the plane is cold, the food is horrible and the trip is too long. I’m into music and surfing the internet.

         My favorite soccer team is Palmeiras and my favorite football team is New England Patriots. I can play all sports but I’m good at football and bad at handball.

         I’m my house I don’t have to do any housework but I always have a lot of homework. After school I have 2 hours of kung fu and 4 hours of English.

         I intend to live somewhere in the US, probably somewhere with sky station. I would like to do something related to cars, like designer, tester or pilot.
