if you could write a biography who would it be on?

Touch

Outside school every Wednesday I play touch I play for the papanui tigers. To be honest there not the best but I still play for them don't know why but next year I'm going to try play school touch. Cause I don't like my team there to demanding for the ball and I usually never get it because im dummy.  Dummy is the person who gets the ball from the person who got touched and is forced to pass unless he runs and gets touched then which the enemy team gets it. When I try for school i should get the ball a bit more but overall I still have to go to my touch for a few more games which is fine with me.

Swimming lessons

At swimming lessons I was in the lowest group. It doesn't matter that much to me  it was fun in the deep pool I could barely touch the bottom flat foot. My group did have to go in the warm little kids pool sometimes not sure why but when it was a cold day and we got to go in the warm pool it was fun. On the last few days we had life jackets which were really cold to put on but when they were on it was fine on Thursday we got to do the boat thing I was the captain because I was at the head of the boat on the last day we did pyjamas day I was sick so didn't go but I heard it was fun.
