Autobiography

This is me.  Who am I?  My name is Kishan Gohil, and you are likely to be in entire bewilderment over me for my entire existence is quite convoluted.  I would like to give you a warm welcome.  So step in-side my world and discover more about my life, full of sports, technology and entertainment.

My life started on a rather early, but hot morning on the second day of August in the year 1990 at 1:30am, I was born a proud and sweaty Leo.  I weighed 6lbs, and 4oz and I was the youngest born.  My parents were exceedingly happy to see me.  My parents chose this name for me because of its religious significance; it is another name of my God, Krishna.  Krishna was the youngest of King Vasudeva’s eight children, six of whom were killed by his wife’s tyrant brother, Kamsa.  A prophecy had it, that a child of Vasudeva’s would kill Kamsa, and this child was Krishna.  

If one were asked to describe my personal appearance, they would probably describe me as a 4”9’, 15 year old, with fair skin and in my opinion, as fair as the colour crème; pointed side burns and short black hair (so that half of my forehead is exposed) that I may tend to spike up on a special occasion, and a very, very faint bar-like moustache

As I am 15 years old, I go to a private secondary school - Guru Gobind Singh Khalsa College - which is situated on Roding lane South in Chigwell.  I currently live in Barkingside, Ilford, on Campbell Avenue, which is off Cranbrook road.  I moved to this house when I was of 14.  I live with my mother, my father and elder brother; I have an elder sister who is currently studying at university.  Altogether, my mother and father have lived in four houses, including this one.  I, however, grew up in the second to last house which is in Ilford, off Ilford lane, Bedford road.  This is the house in which I spent most of my childhood in, and may I say I hold a mixture of sad, happy and fearful memories, all of which I keep closely in my heart, though the ones that don’t fit, I keep in a photo album.  

My oldest memories can go back when I was only a toddler.  This is one of those memories when people tell us how naughty they were.  When ever my sister or brother would watch TV, I would stand in front of it and just would not budge, no matter how much I got told off I would just not move out of the way!  It was until someone moved me out of the way that I would get a bit violent.  Now, not to make you think too badly of me, I will reminisce two of my happier moments; the first being at the age of 14.  In year 10, I re-met a boy whom I knew since nursery, though I never really used to talk to him.  When I moved school, he recognised me straight away.  His name is Inderbir Singh Dodwal.  The second is when in the year 2003, my family and whole of my family and my mother’s second eldest sister’s family went on a holiday to Majorca. Altogether there were 14 of us and we went for two weeks.  It must be the best holiday I have ever been on.  Lastly, to make the triangle complete, I will paint the picture of one of my well remembered fearful moments.  It was when I was at the age of 10 that my cousin came to my house to stay and we planned a day trip to the swimming pool.  He was not a very good swimmer at all. I thought he could tread water but he did not move his feet enough and started to drown. I tried to help him.  Soon, I went down with him.  It was only thanks to a life guard we are still alive.

As I said, I go to Guru Gobind Singh Khalsa College which is in Chigwell.  I am now I my final year of secondary school, year 11.  I have to work the hardest, as I will be taking my remaining G.C.S.E’s at the end of this year.  I started this school in year 10 and took the first set of G.C.S.E’s: Religious studies, Information Communication Technology and Statistics.  I passed Religious studies with a “C”, to my disappointment as I had aimed for a strong “B”; I also passed Information Communication Technology with a “B” which lifted my disappointment, ...
