Joel Damon Research Paper

Decent Essays
My name is Joel Damon and I am from Guyana. I love playing sports and I try to learn new ones every day. I am even learning how to play American football and I am loving it. My favorite sports is football which is called soccer in America. The reason why it’s my favorite sport is because ever since I was about 5 years old, some of my friends would play the sport in front of my house and I would always want to go and play but my mother would never let me go play with them.
As I got older I was allowed to go and play. At the age of 8 I went out and played with them and I enjoyed the game. From that day I loved playing football which is how it became my favorite sport. One day when I went to play with them they suggested we go on the ball field

He was able to accomplish this task by using nothing more than his own ingenuity. According to Jason Gots of the “Big Think” website “He (Kevin) used social engineering on a Los Angeles area bus driver, telling him he needed a special hole punch for a school project.
