Auto-biography Assignment

My name is Rafael Lisboa, but most of my friends and my family usually call me Rafa. I was born on September 30th in 1987 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I have an unusual family because of my dad which is 81 years old. I have siblings who are much older than me. People usually think that my dad is my grandpa, so I always have to explain that he had me with 60 years old. I love my family I have. My dad and my mom always support me to do whatever I want to do, but always with responsibility.
I have a lot of good friends. Most of them I met when I was really young, so I consider them like my family. My best friend came with me in US, so we can help each other for any difficult that might happen on this new country. Twice per year I go to my home country to visit my friends and my family, because it is really hard for me to stay for 1 year far from them.
I am a sport`s lover. I grew up in Rio de Janeiro, where I began to play tennis. When I was young my dad always took me to the soccer stadium to watch Flamengo plays, so it made me a soccer lover, a fanatic Flamengo`s fan like my dad is, but when I was eleven years old I choose tennis to keep practicing for my whole life. If I am studying at Ventura College today, was the sport that gave me this opportunity.
My goal today is to transfer to a University as soon as possible and get a good sport`s scholarship, playing tennis. After that I would like to go back to Brazil and find a good job there. On the other hand, I don’t even know my major yet. But I think I still have time to choose carefully, because if I make a mistake I will have to pass 30 years suffering on my work.
On my free time I like to play soccer, go to the beach, watch Brazilians TV shows, clubs and hang out with my friends. I really enjoy California because the wheatear is very similar from Rio`s wheatear, so I can do the same things I usually do in Brazil.
I am a nice guy, very respectful. I received a good educations, good advices, so it made me stronger and a human with a good behavior. That is the key to be successful in my life.
