My name is Alfredo Ocampo. I’m 19 years old. I was born in Quezon City Philippines. I have studied my high school in the Philippines but I didn’t have a chance to finish it, because my parents decided to take me to the UK and continue my studies.
Now, I have been living in London for 4 years and 7 months. I did my GCSE’s at Cardinal Hensley and by the time I got my results I have decided to go to college which is Hammersmith rather than staying at Cardinal Hensley.
I studied in Hammersmith for 2 year and finish my course which is BTEC First Diploma in applied Science level, 1 and 2 as of now I’m still a college student and currently studying at Westminster College doing my 1st year BTEC National Diploma in New Media.
Every Sunday I go to my church.
My hobbies are:
Hanging out with my friend and staying at their house while playing Xbox, watching different movies, composing rap songs lyrics and playing basketball. My favourite colour is black because it’s representing a specific colour and most of my clothes that I wear are black.
The great achievement in my life so far is when I was 16 years old I fought WEKAF championship martial arts in Bristol and won bronze medal. If I am going to describe myself it would be “I am a very quiet and simple person”.
