About me.........

I am Devin Defilippis, This year in English class I hope to learn how to write papers better and be able to prepare for college allowing me to feel comfortable entering school.  I also would like to learn how to read more in depth and the understanding the meaning of novels.  Being a senior in high school, preparing for the S.A.T and A.C.T is vital.  Some things that I love doing include going to he beach, being with my friends, and spending time with the family. I love spending time at the ocean, scuba diving is a great way to see a different world other than our own. My favorite trip I had taken was to Belize. In Belize I got scuba certified and went diving everyday, it is so interesting to see animals in their natural habitat. One of my most memorable experiences was going night diving. Although it was scary, going night diving allowed me to see the ocean in a new light. I also like to play lacrosse; I have played for the past three years and enjoy the sport very much. I used to live in Chicago but moved prior to my freshman year of high school. I occasionally go back to visit friends and family that still live there. Chicago is a beautiful city and has much to do, and there is rarely a dull moment with the fast pace lifestyle. I have a strong passion for animals and always want to help them. I would love to volunteer at shelters and be able to save animals from abuse. Whenever I see stray animals I wish there was something I can do to save them, especially when seeing hungry animals. When I grow up I hope to be able to do as much as possible and make a difference.
