The topic of this blog has confused me quite a bit. I have never been the kind of kid that was able to just pick up a pen and just start writing about anything. So writing about "me" is going to take me some time.
To start off I will describe myself. I live with my family in Old Town, Chicago. I have two wonderful parents and an older brother that also attends Whitney M. Young Highschool. School and Sports take up a lot of my life. Two sports that I take part in our Football and Lacrosse. Football has been around for almost all my life, it is in my family's blood. I have multiple family members that have played in the NFL. The most commonly known player is Matt Hasselbeck. He is a probowl quarterback that has played for the Greenbay Packers, Seattle Seahawks, Tennessee Titans, and is currently with the Indianapolis Colts. I was fortunate enough to spend time with Matt Hasselbeck and his family at his lake house over the 2013 summer!
I didn't discover Lacrosse until I was in 8th grade, but I dont know where I would be today without it.
In just one season lacrosse became my favorite sport, surpassing football by a mile. I worked hard to improve and was awarded Most Improved Player my 8th grade year. My mother saw the passion that I had for lacrosse, and knew I needed the sport at Whitney. After much work my mother was able to start lacrosse at Whitney, and in just the second year of the programs existence we became City Champions.
After reading the last two paragraphs one would probably think that I'm one of those crazy kids whos life revolves around sports. However, there is a lot more to me than that. I like riding my bike, going to the beach, fishing, and hanging with my friends!
