         I'd like to welcome everyone to my new blog. I hope you all are just as excited as I am in starting this new journey. My name is Gian Luca, and I am currently attending Cypress Bay High School as a junior. To tell a little bit about myself, I enjoy living an active and healthy lifestyle, socializing with friends, and challenging my skills and knowledge in school.

I hope you find this blog interesting and have as much fun reading it as I do writing it.
