Subject: Sporting Biography

Hi everyone. My name is Seun (which is the shorter version to my name) I was born and raised in Nigeria, I currently live in MD. When I lived in Nigeria, I was an active spectator of soccer, I have done a lot of yelling at the tv and also a lot of screaming GOAL! Soccer is the national sport of Nigeria. I love to watch soccer because of the intensity and also the excitement I get from watching the games. I used to play soccer with other kids in the community but now I rarely play nor do I watch any of the soccer games. My reasons is due to the fact that soccer isn't a big thing in the United States and it just doesn't feel the same as watching it in Nigeria. Currently I am an active spectator of Tennis, because I love to watch the Williams Sisters play. I love the intensity in which they play and how they go head to head in the finals. Although this year I not into the US open compared to last year because the William Sisters aren't participating and it is not just the same. The US open this year sort of lacks the persona and excitement that It usually has. I don't play tennis, but I do understand the game I hope to some day learn to play. Apart from Tennis and maybe Ice Skating I am yet to understand why people like the American football and also yet to figure out Baseball.
