Something about me

My name is Robert Purcell and I was born in Toronto, Ontario on December 21st 1995 but I only lived there for a couple of months and have spent most of my life in Calgary. I enjoy playing most of the school sports as well as hockey which I play goalie, road cycling and running.

This summer, I travelled to California to play roller hockey in the US Junior Olympics for my team just from Calgary. We left with a gold and a silver medal and played teams from Hong Kong and Columbia as well as many teams from the US. Later, two of my friends and I cycled 825km over seven days from Revelstoke, down through Creston and back up to Calgary. This year I plan on running a half marathon. 

Last year I travelled to Cambodia with the school's ITS program and I am going to Nepal this year. Cambodia was a lot of fun and I brought back a bunch of cheap gifts for my family. I really enjoy travelling to other countries, other than the intense heat. 

In school, I love Math and the Science's but usually not English and Social quite as much. After high school I plan on going into engineering and then medicine. 

When I have free time (which is not often) I spend it playing guitar, watching tv and napping. I am a huge sports fan. I love watching Hockey, Football and anything in the Olympics. My favourite hockey teams are the Vancouver Canucks and the Flames.
