Hi, my name is Anthony, and I am a freshman at Old Dominion University. I’m 19 years old and am very interested in French culture.

 

I have lived in Virginia for most of my life. I was born in Norfolk, raised in Virginia Beach, and lived in North Carolina for a small portion of my childhood. I went to First Colonial High School and graduated from the Legal Studies Academy. Going there sparked my love for competitive debate and my loathing of public policy and justice. My favorite subjects in school were English and science, and now I’m very much enjoying writing and french.

In my free time, I like to read, listen to music, and play video games. I also like strategy games like chess or Go. I’m a big fan of bookstores and will find myself paying more than I should on books I have no room for. I also like hanging out with my friends and eating at some of my favorite restaurants (Taco Bell btw).

All in all, I love french, and even if it’s difficult I want to become better and possibly achieve some level of fluency someday. My family lives in Belgium, so I definitely have motivation. I will continue to increase my french ability and will enjoy every step of the way.
