Joe Kinglake

He is only 19 years old and yet he has achieved so much and continues to do so even as I speak. As well as studying for a University degree in Computer Games Design, he manages to balance this with being a co-founder and intergral part of his own iPhone Application Development business, as a programmer. Not only is he a hard working and intelligent person, he also has a gleaming and wholey positive personality and outlook on life. He is an extremely generous person, who at any given opportunity, will go out of his way to help his friends and family in whatever problems they have. He also has spent some time volunteering for various charities such as Mind and a local charity which specialises in taking disabled children out for special events and trips to give them experiences that they wouldn't normally have.

Joe is a very active and sporty person, who enjoys the more extreme and physically challenging sports such as Parkour, Inline skating and cycling. Joe genuinely takes every opportunity he can in life to better himself and the lives of those around him...ask anyone who knows him and only positive words will be spoken about him. In a society where teenagers and young adults have a very negative reputation, he provides a shining and unique example that not all people of his generation live up to the stereotype of being lazy, anti-social and work-shy, as he has held a job down since he was 13 years old! He honestly is deserved of the title 'Olympic Torch Bearer'.
