Quentin Hernandez –– Staff Writer (9)

My name is Quentin Juan Hernandez and I was born on November 6th,1996 at Doctors Hospital. My family and I lived in Modesto, California until I was five years old. In 2002 my family moved to Ceres, and this is where I live currently. When I was three years old I started taking karate lessons, and ended up with a red belt by the time I was seven. During my first year at kindergarten, I became very ill with meningitis. I was hospitalized for two weeks, but luckily got well. After moving to Ceres, I became very active in all sports including football, baseball, basketball, and soccer. I’ve been to four different schools since kindergarten, Brown, Whitmore Charter, TJHS, and now Pitman. I have two sisters ages three and twelve. Their names are Savannah and Presley, and like all little sisters, they can be annoying but I love them a lot. My parents are wonderful; they support me through everything, and encourage me to follow my dreams. I am now a freshman at Pitman High School and currently playing football. Now that I am in high school, I will be playing football, baseball, and wrestling. My ultimate goal is to receive a full ride scholarship for athletics, and academics. I would love to attend Ohio State, USC, or Michigan.
