           Will Boswinkel has a strong interest in food and Japanese entertainment, such as video games.

When asked what he likes about video games, he responded, "Because it takes me to another universe -- it’s really fun and it takes you away from reality.”

Will also likes anime and manga. “I do manga in my free time and constantly go to comic book stores," he said.

In fact, he goes three times a week because "it’s a fun and interesting place and you can talk to other people in the store who also like exactly what you like and know about it. While there, Will does the following: "I read comics, talk to other comic book fans, and play the games that are there.”

Will is not just into anime and manga, he also strongly enjoys food. His favorite is tacos because, "There are so many options to tacos and there are infinite possibilities, but my favorite is guacamole, cheese, and beef".  

Will is constantly seen with a bag of potato chips and when asked which kind he prefers, he said, "Jalapeño Heat. The burst of flavor is great.”

Although he loves food, Will can't stand fondue, saying, "I don't like dipping cheese and bread together."

           Will's favorite movie is the Avengers because "It gets better everytime you watch it." His favorite character is Thor because he was the first superhero Will ever read about.  

When asked what super power he would like to have, he said to "duplicate" Then he could do several things at once “like chores around the house".

Since the age of five, Will has had an interest in and played soccer. Having friends on the team also impacted his playing. "If I'm on the field with them I do better because I know what they are going to do. It's fun to play with your friends."  

Since Will started soccer, he has always played midfield. Will takes the sport seriously and even without his friends on his team he would still play.

Getting along with everyone is important to Will so he can make friends.  "The team supports you most of the time. Because sometimes you make a stupid move and they are like -- are you kidding me?"  

Will is inspired by soccer and enjoys being a part of the game, as well. "Soccer is a fun and exciting sport that you can play all around the world."
