Growing up, he spent most of his time hanging out with his siblings as well as playing football and basketball. He decided to quit those sports due to him not getting a lot of play time and no longer finding them fun. As of now, his classes include Journalism which he has been doing for three years now, Math 3, Chemistry, Hip Hop Lit, Gym, and Modern History.
