Fantasy Football

 Fantasy Football

Monday, December 6, 2021


     This weekend, I won my 9th fantasy football game. It is an online app where you draft a team with some friends and at the beginning of the year you put money into the pot. The total this year is $240. There are 12 players and the buy in is $20. My overall record is 9-4 and I am a 100% chance to make the playoffs. I even got a first round bye so I do not have to worry about losing the first round of the playoffs. In the playoffs, there are 6 teams and the other 6 teams are eliminated. I have some of the top players in the game, such as, Justin Jefferson, Jamar Chase, CeeDee Lamb, and Travis Kelce. 

     My team puts up a lot of points every week and when your team can do that, it is going to be hard to lose. I am very excited to see what my team can do in the playoffs because it would be a great feeling being $240 richer! Usually everyday, I check to see if new players are on the rise or down fall to see if I can add to my team or get rid of some players. I am a very big football guy and I miss playing football every day of my life. If I had the opportunity I most definitely would take the chance to. Fantasy football is also a great way of bonding with people if you are around them. You can discuss trading and just start conversation after that about football. 

     Out of the three years I have played fantasy football, I have won once and made it to the playoffs the other two times. I watch ESPN to also see what reporters are suggesting during the week to see if there are any great moves to make. It is a habit to check my fantasy football especially when I am winning to make sure I keep winning. My dad and I are not in the same league, but we always talk about our teams and of course my team is better than his!

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
