Going to Florida December 14

 Going to Florida

December 6, 2021


     About three weeks ago, my mom and dad discussed about going to Florida, but they really did not relay that information to me they had just mentioned it. About a week ago, my mom and dad told me we are going to Florida and I could invite a friend as well since my cousins will not be there. So I invited my best friend to come along. Every time my family and I have gone, we always go deep sea fishing. It is so much fun especially when you see sharks right next to your boat! If you have a fish on, it is going to fight back and it is not like any kind of fish from around here. All fish in the ocean have teeth. When a fish is on, you better be quick when reeling it in, or else a shark might get it. 

     The most recent time I went to Florida was not just for fishing, but a college visit. I had a football and baseball visit at Webber International University. As soon as I got on campus I felt at home. The campus was very small it was only less than a seven minute walk from one end of campus to the other. If you hit a home run in left field, you were hitting it into the lake. The scenery and everything about Webber International just made me want to go there so bad. There was only one issue though; I got the offer for football as soon as I stepped foot on campus, but baseball was the main issue. I wanted to be a dual sport athlete in college and my dream has been to play both sports in Florida. I had the talk with the baseball coach, but due to COVID, I did not get the offer. They had to many players come back for an extra year. 

     I was set and stone to go to Webber International University, but every time I visit there it's like I need to go there now. It is not a want anymore, but a need. I feel like it is telling me I need to go and follow my dream of playing baseball and football in college. Maybe when I go down I will be able to talk to one of my old coaches from out there to see if there is any opportunity. Although I am just very happy I get to go visit my family in their home town Jupiter, Florida!

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
