James interests include athletics, travel and the arts.
James has a natural aptitude for sports and currently plays on a basketball team where he made an assist at a recent game.

Another passion of James is travel. . James has learned much about our world: domestic and abroad. He can tell you about indigenous plants and animals from different countries and continents. In fact, he was just observing the iguanas in Puerto Rico.


James enjoys the arts, as well. He loves to make music: his newest instrument is a drum set. Additionally, he loves listening to music, dancing and going to concerts.

What would you like St. xxxx to know about James?

James is an energetic boy with a dynamic lifestyle. For instance, James and his dad got up early Tuesday and flew home to Lutherville: they spent the day at the office, afterwards went to basketball practice and then flew back home to Boca. He also gets up early on Saturdays and goes with dad to coach the girl’s track and field team.


James is a protective big brother, as well. To exemplify,
He stays next to his younger brother and makes sure he is a safe distance from the iguanas.


Additionally, James is outgoing, likes playing with friends and participating in sports including tball, karate, soccer, and swimming. He loves going to baseball and football games, as well; He is especially excited when we tailgate at a raven’s game. James is well rounded and polite. To exemplify, While in Puerto Rico recently, James walked up to man and greeted him in Spanish "hola amigo" he said with a smile on his face.


James is creative and has a wonderful imagination: He pretends everything from being a cat, pirate, chef to putting on concerts where he sings and puts on quite a show. Finally, James loves school and has been attending the Goddard school for the last 3 years.
It is important to note, James had ear surgery when he was nine months old. He used sign language to aid in communicating. He communicates very well but some sounds are hard to pronounce.

I'd still like an answer to my question in post #2.

We might be doing the OP's homework.

It is a question on the admission application for private school (kindergarten).

Input? Revisions? I have spent many hours/days writing this. I am sure some sentences can be better; but, this is the best i can do.

Home is both Lutherville, Md. and Boca Raton, Fla. I am trying to explain James' lifestyle without sounding like we are bragging.
When he starts kindergarten he will have to stay in Maryland more but for his first 5 years, he flew back and forth a lot.

Thank you so very much for revisions/corrections. I spent an insane amount of time writing but could not get it correct. I need to practice writing to get the experience needed to be proficient. I do not want you to think I am taking the easy way by having you do this for me - I really put time and effort in.

Choose whichever one is most appropriate to call home for that application.

You're welcome, and tell James we all say hello here. :hi:

Let us know how you get on with your application. :)
