    I would say that my life is full of surprises both in the good and bad aspects of it, however things sure get interesting as time goes by and as I continue to live this crazy but fascinating experience. Hi, my name is David Kehnny and Iā€™m someone who can wow the audience as well as make them cry in regards to my life story but oh well thereā€™ll be more to talk about later on. Although things may come off as depressing but as they say ā€˜ā€˜things always end well regardless of the situationā€™ā€™; well I say that and it seems to work for me as well as keep me level headed.

    Where shall we begin with this mysterious yet exciting life story? OKAY! Iā€™m a 19 year old whose interests run wild from gaming to travelling to visiting historical monuments and sites. I could go on but I think I don’t want to bore the reader out, am I right?. In terms of my living situation Iā€™d say things are moving smoothly compared to about 10 years ago when life for my family and I was like trying to escape an endless maze of terror. However, I would say that no matter how stressful it was back then, I had my family by my side. I play a lot of sports but football or ā€˜ā€™soccerā€™ā€™ as some Americans call it has a deep connection to me but I play others such as Badminton, Tennis, Table Tennis, Swimming, Track and Field, Volleyball and so on. As I said earlier, ā€œI donā€™t want to bore the readerā€. No need to take me seriously, I’m quite the enthusiastic hyperactive type. My joy can light the class on fireā€¦ LITERALLY!.

    I partake in a lot of activities religiously due to COVID so you could say that itā€™s a blessing and a curse; right?. Iā€™ve been able to develop intellectually and learn how to take great photos as well as making good edits. Iā€™ve also been able to improve my diet and other things that relate to my health all in the physical, mental, emotional and also spiritual aspect of it. I however would say that food and binge watching anime as well as playing video games is one of my top 5 main priorities.

    Life has certainly been a whirlwind of activities coming from left, right, up, and down, but no matter what, I’m certain that I have friends and family here to support and cheer me on, and I promise wholeheartedly that I will reciprocate that love and respect.
