Enjoy!
So, before starting, I just want to say that my name is Kevin Bergeron and that right now, I'm studying Social Science at the Lionel-Groulx College in the big city that is Ste-Thérèse. I'm studying in this program because later, I want to be a physical Education teacher.
The reason why I am doing this blog is for my English class, not gonna lie. Thought, I am kind of happy to have a blog. On this blog, I am going to talk about things that are happening in my everyday life and try to make it look slightly interesting and funny so that people don't think that my life is the definition of the boringness itself. Also, I'm a big fan of sports, so I will surely talk a bit about various sports and activities.
Here's the link to my sports glossary: https://expressdev.virtualwritingtutor.com/uploads/glossary/769/sports-glossary.html
