By Matthew Pressman
My name is Matthew Robert Pressman. My mom and dad decided my middle name because my grandpa or my mom’s dad’s name is bob, which is an abbreviation for the name Robert. My mom and dad by choosing between the name Andrew and Matthew chose my first name. My last name like most peoples last name was taken from my dad, which was also given to my mom when they got married. They are currently divorced and my dad remarried my step mom Lisa producing my half sister and half brother.
I am 12 years old despite my height, which is five feet six inches. I was born in December 10, 1995. I am going into 7th grade next year in my school, which is Columbia secondary school for math science and engineering. My school currently only has 2grades in it but will have 7 grades in the end. Which will add up to having a middle school and a high school that will be connected to Columbia University.
I like to play video games, watch movies/ television, write songs (only lyrics), and play sports as in soccer; baseball; hockey; football and basketball in my free time. I like to make up games with my friends when we go to playgrounds or parks and have nothing to do except sit around. I almost always stay active and since I like playing sports. During summer vacation from school I always go camping in Cape Cod with my mom, my mom’s friend Dorian, my big sister, and Dorian’s kids Sam and Jacob.
My sister is 16 years old 5feet 5 inches tall. She goes to the school Bronx Science high school. My mom currently is a secretary at a law firm. She is 5’8” tall and my dad is 6’2”. In the future I hope to have a good job that I like to do but so does everybody else.
