That's how I live my life.

Hi, my name is Paul and I'm 15 years
old. I was born on 5th October 1991. I
live with my mother and my sisters. My
father works in Canada, so only see him
a few times a year. He is a very busy
person. I have two sisters, Jane and
Sarah. Jane is older than me and our
relationship isnt very good. She is very
strict and is always controlling me.
Sarah is the youngest one and we are
very close. Sometimes we argue about
this and that, but I usually win the
argument because I'm very clever.
I live in a villa in South Los Angeles and go to school nearby at Linton High.
The place where I live is very quiet, the usual suburban area with cats and dogs
and people watering their gardens.
I enjoy cycling there every morning and coming back home after school. I also
like jogging, watching TV and collecting stamps.
My best friends name is Rufus and he lives a few blocks away. We like
collecting stamps and jogging together. We're also experts at downloading music
and playing computer games. We spend hours doing it.
I get up every day at 7.15 am and brush my teeth. After eating a big
breakfast, I always have to run for the bus. Mornings are spent at school talking
to friends and listening to boring teachers. I spend my afternoons doing what I
like... well, that and homework. At 11 pm I go to bed, tired after a long day.
