    The Final Weeks of Lake Days

After a long, fun, exhausting summer, the lake days are finally coming to an end. When we put in our boats and jet skis at the end of April, that is when we start to get after it on the lake. Multiple hours of wakeboarding, tubing, surfing, and riding the jet skis always comes to an end at the end of September. Lake days for me are the best days because I finally get peace and quiet from everything else happening in my life. During the summer I have summer ball which I play for the whole summer and getting time away from baseball is a great thing for my brain to finally cool down. I play baseball year round and when I'm finally able to get some time to myself and enjoy life a little, the lake is the first place I go. If it's just me by myself riding on the jet ski or me and a bunch of my buddies tubing, I am finally able to have a different kind of fun. 

Since I am so consumed with baseball, it's been hard trying to go out with friends, and now visit friends at their new schools. The summer for me is the best time because all my friends and I are at the lake 24/7 making the most of it. Don't get me wrong baseball is one of the best things in my life, but I always need to step away and just take some time off. Since the season is coming to an end it's gonna be hard for me because I am always wanting to go on the lake in my free time and the water is starting to get very cold, very fast. I am a southern kid and I am always wanting to be in the water doing crazy stuff. Growing up here in Indiana you only get a few months to really go on the water and enjoy it. 

The final weeks at the lake are going to be the hardest for me until next year because I will miss it so much. I'm going to be so consumed with baseball for the fall and thinking of it just makes me need that much more of a break. Taking everything out of the water is the worst thing to do as well because there are 3 boats and 3 jet skis where I keep my stuff. My best friend Priscilla and her father have let us keep our stuff there for years now and we are so thankful for them letting us keep our watercrafts there. I am not looking forward for this summer to come to an end, but there is always a next year!Image result for cedar lake indiana

Documentary Project Reflection Questions

Wednesday, October 13, 2021 Documentary Project Reflection Questions  1. Was there a specific scene that got to you? Describe and explain how it moved you (Angry? Curious? Delighted? Motivated?). Give a lot of detail, and really dive in to how it affected you. Don’t hold back.  --The scene that had got to me the most was when they had a beautiful coral reef and then they transitioned it to a dying coral reef. I loved seeing the colors of the coral reef and then they switched it to a dying coral reef really got to me most. I am hoping these scientists are able to help save the coral reef because the wildlife need it and we need it. The coral reef is a home for these animals and it helps the people as well because the people fish and need to get food to live as well. The climate change is also a big factor in the coral reef dying and we need to find ways to save the reef.   2. What surprised you? Why do you think it caught you off guard?  --The thing that surprised me was how alive this

Making The Spring Baseball Team

Thursday, October 21, 2021  Making the Spring Baseball Team On Tuesday, October 19th, I had an exit meeting for fall baseball for Purdue University Northwest. It was a quick five minute meeting, but it had me on the balls of my feet. I was so anxious as to whether or not I had made the Spring baseball team. Coach Dave said he was only taking 35 for the whole Spring, but only 20-25 for the travel roster. When coach had called me in at 9:15 a.m. I was starting to get very nervous if I had made both the spring team and the travel roster. I was thinking to myself in a very positive way and I knew I could do it, but it was in coaches hands. Would he take me for both? Coach had started to speak and he asked me, "How do you think the fall went for you?"  I said, "I believe I had a pretty good fall, but I need to work on hitting still." Coach said, "I agree, you also need to work on bunting and maintain your speed." I agreed with coach and he then proceeded to say

Halloween Weekend at Indiana University

 Halloween Weekend at Indiana University Monday, November 1, 2021 Halloween Weekend at Indiana University      On Friday, October 29th, 2021, I left with my best friend Sergio to Indiana University Bloomington for Halloween weekend. The drive down actually was not that bad, we just listened to music and talked the whole three hour drive. As soon as we got down there we met up with one of our buddies that we were staying with Justin. He is on the wakeboard team at Indiana University and he is a sophomore there. He actually went to Purdue University Northwest last year. When we got in his room, we set up the bed and made sure when we got home later that night we were already going to be ready for bed. We also played Mario on his Wii for a little while before we went out to the parties. The worst part about going to Indiana University is that it is such a big campus and you have to walk everywhere you want to go or you buy out a scooter called a "bird."      When we walked the t
