My name is Jason Pena, and I’m in 12th grade. I have lived in Brooklyn, New York, my whole life. Growing up, I’ve always liked sports and games. I played football, basketball, and baseball, making it onto the baseball and basketball teams. I’ve been doing kickboxing for 5 and a half years.

In 8 years, I would like to be either a firefighter or a veterinarian. I love going to the Dominican Republic during the summer to visit family, and I enjoy eating the food there and having fun. I also like riding bikes and love animals. I focus on health and family in my free time. Soon, I want to be driving a car and get my license.

I have a cat named Igor, and because of him, I’ve been inspired to become a veterinarian. In my prime, I see myself living in Thailand or the Dominican Republic, living a rich life with friends and family.
