Blog 1_Introduction

Hello everyone! My name is Thomas Abraham Lyons, but everybody has been calling me Abe since the forth grade. I was born in Honolulu Hawaii and unfortunately moved to Cleveland Ohio when I was about fifteen months old. I grew up in a suburb called Parma and it is still my home today. My whole life I spent on the soccer field and the baseball diamond, and then in high school I chose to focus on soccer. I played for a club team called the Cleveland Whitecaps for 7 years.  I went to Valley Forge High School and became the MVP and team captain of the team my senior year, while winning two conference championships junior and senior year. Now I am a freshman here at Ohio State and I am a pre-electrical engineering major. I am 19 years old and very outgoing. I love to meet new people, party it up, and kick it with my friends. Although soccer is by far my favorite sport, I enjoy all sports, watching and playing. Currently my main hobbies are playing guitar and trying to make the most out of each day. In the summer I like to play tennis, basketball, and pickup games of football. In the winter most of my time is spent snowboarding, although this year most of my winter consisted of my favorite Xbox video game, Fifa 11. I am twenty five percent Korean, mostly Irish, and a mixture of some other things that I’m not even sure of. My favorite foods are the Asian foods that my mother cooks like eggrolls, fried rice, gyoza, and tempura. Well that about sums me up really quick, thanks for reading!
