Life


    Grateful. That is the best word to describe my life and how I feel. Summer 2021 was the best summer I have ever had and I don't say that too often, it truly made me realize how grateful I am for the people around me and the ones who support me. My family is great and they truly support me in everything I do, my dad has nine siblings and my mom has four siblings so I come from a very big family too. I will always cherish every moment I get with them.

    I am also grateful for my upcoming basketball season this year at Ohio Northern, it will be my redshirt junior season, and we have a serious chance to be very dangerous if we all stay together and work hard. We are finally able to have a full season of 25 games, and hopefully a normal season, even though Covid is still around and serious. My freshman year was very rough in the classroom and court but my sophomore season on the court and classroom was much better and has me super excited to what this year has in store. More importantly, I am looking to take a big step forward and be a true leader for this team and help mentor the younger kids, because life is truly bigger than just basketball, it's about developing friendships and preparing ourselves for the real world someday. 

    I truly wish everyone the best this school year, I know how tough school can be mentally and then adding a pandemic on top of that can make it even harder, but if we all stay together as one big family, we can do some great things! We should all truly be grateful because we are at one of the best Universities in the nation, and we have chances and opportunities to do things that some people will never get to do, so never take it for granted!

Back on Campus

    After a much needed time off from athletics and academics, it is great to be back on campus. I was very thrilled to go home for a couple of long days. I wasn't only happy to go home because it was first time home in a month, but also because it will be last time home till Thanksgiving. We start our first week of practice this Friday and once that starts it is almost impossible to go home, so I made sure to enjoy my break.             I have always cherished my time I get when I am back home because you never know what can happen and when it could be your last time. That sounds very straight-forward but is the reality of life. As I stated, we start our basketball season this week and I am beyond focused and ready to start my third year on the basketball court. I am especially excited this year because I know the potential this team has this season especially since we are a lot older and more experienced now.      In the classroom, I am always glad to be back. I feel as if I have

Music Cures All

    Music cures everything in life. Sometimes I truly wonder what I would do without music. I use music every time I drive, work out, or even just around the house to help me focus. Not only does it help me focus, but it can help me get through a tough or confusing time in life. There are some days when I just put my headphones in and just block out all of the outside noise in life, and it works every time.      To me, all genres can be good, depending on the situation. If you are only listening to one genre, I feel as if you are limiting yourself. When I am working out it is usually rap or rock, but when I want to let loose, it can be country or electronic music. I listen to all genres of music on a daily basis but the old-school hard rock will always be my favorite. Old school rock is great and my dad grew up on it, so he introduced me to it. When I listen to it, I think about how much different life was back then and how much fun they had together and I wish it could be like that so

The Season Begins

     It is here, my senior year of college basketball. Typing that first sentence is already emotional and it is just getting started. Every day when I wake up, I tell myself, "just enjoy the ride," and it keeps me going. Not many people get the chance to play a game they love for an extra four years with great people, so I cherish it every morning. I remember playing my first ever basketball over 12 years ago, and now I am in my last go around, time flies.      We officially began practice on October 15th, and have already had a scrimmage. It is crazy to think how fast my senior year of college basketball came along, but I wouldn't trade friends and memories for anything in the world. This year, we got a new coaching staff and it has been amazing so far, and we have made great progress. Everyone loves each other, has bought in and is doing their role, which is amazing to be a part of. I am beyond excited to see how this season goes, and no matter what happens, I will for
