The Awkward Auctioneer

As Joey was on his way to his first day of work at his new job he said to himself, "Why am I doing this?"  The truth was, Joey was a very, Very, VERY, shy person, and his first job in a while was being an auctioneer.  Now the average person would ask, why would this shy person get a job that included this much public interaction.  It seems that the professional auctioneer that was supposed to star in the big finale of Auction Hunters had quit the job.  Now Joey had been signing up to be the backup auctioneer for Auction Hunters for the whole season.  He had taken this role tons of times and he was never needed, and he still got paid just for being there watching, what a bonus right?  But today Joey got the call saying the front man quit and that he was going to have to do the auction.  Joey nearly threw up right there, but he still went to work just in case they found another person to do it instead of him.  Unfortunately, they didn't.  It was then time to show everyone who he really was.  He started to walk on stage.  One step.  Two step.  Three step. THUD!

Who are you and why are you here?

Hello, I am Matthew Barrett and i am a high school student at East York C.I..  I am a person who has two parents named Don and Joanne, and a younger brother named Jacob.  I have been playing organized sports since I was 3 years old.  The two sports I play the most are hockey and lacrosse and I play on both of these teams in high school as well as in leagues outside of school.  Other sports I participate in at school are cross country and track and field.  Some of my hobbies include things like running, hanging out with my friends, playing ball hockey, swimming, and playing guitar.  I am here because my parents have decided to raise me in this neighbourhood and since I have lived in this neighbourhood since I was 2 I know a lot of people in this area and my parents wanted me to go to a school where I feel comfortable and can play sports while focusing on my school work.  I have moved 3 times in my life but everytime I moved we still stayed in the East York area just lived in different parts.  East York is the closest school for me to get to so that is another reason why I'm here, also I took writers craft in school this year so that is why I am here making this blog post in Ms. Cat's grade 12 writers craft class.
