Vernon Wong ( Edited From Spring)

Picture
My name is Vernon Wong. I was born in Hayward and moved to San Mateo when I was still a toddler. I go to Aragon High School and I am now a senior. I enjoy playing basketball and any sport in general except for tennis.  I was inspired to take photos when I was a Sophomore in High School. I saw all my peers and friends holing Nikons and Cannons snapping away. At first it looked so easy and simple, I thought even a baby could take a good photo. When I used my first Cannon, I thought it would be simple and just snapped away. As I looked back at my photos, they were all blurry and dark. At that point I began to take it more seriously. I realized that photography is an art, not just a simple task that anyone can do.I plan to go to community college and major in economics and eventually transfer to a 4 year UC where i can further myself in my major. 

Me as a Well Rounded Person
My favorite subject in school is history, I just love looking at pictures of the past since i love to study history. I never wrote any papers that i enjoyed, i feel that i my self am a visual learner not a reader type. I tend not to volunteer because I see no capital benefit for me, I know it sounds shady, but it is who I am. I am a well rounded person since i have a good GPA :), and I am active in sports and other things. I also love to read and play video games like all other boys. The only art work I want to master is photography.

     Extracurricular:
Let the world know what a well-rounded person you are. Do you play any musical instruments? Do any sports?

What about hobbies?  If you have any pictures or videos of yourself taking part in extracurricular activities, you can also include those here!

Basketball is the only real extracurricualr activity that I do because i love it, its fun and it is healthy. It was really the only sport that made me skinny since i was a bit on the large side at first. i dont really have any pictures :(.
