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!

Can YouTube be More than Entertainment?

    Discussing and learning about YouTube has been fun and also informative. It has been fun learning about YouTube because I am an addict and always watch videos on it. I love YouTube because you can watch and find anything you need. Whether it is life advice, music videos or content creators. For example, I watch Danny Duncan and The Nelk Boys all the time and it is great. But, can YouTube be used for more than entertainment?     For example, YouTube is a fantastic way to promote yourself and your business, especially with amount of active users on YouTube. Everyone starts somewhere, everyone starts with zero subscribers, it is all about what you do with that. My freshman year of basketball at Ohio Northern University, I played against a guy named D'Vontay Friga from The University of Mount Union and he is YouTube famous now with over 600,000 subscribers and makes a living of promoting himself and his brand. His brand slogan is "Stay Motivated, Stay Positive" and h...

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...

Music Cures All

     At a young age I fell in love with music and have never looked back. I remember being a young kid and always asking for an iPod so I could download a bunch of music. Always having my headphones in before my travel basketball and football games and just enjoying it. Back then, I just wanted to look cool and didn't truly understand music like I do now. Music helps me with everything including basketball, school, anxiety and just relaxing, it is great.      I listen to music anytime I can, especially when relaxing or working out. I like to experiment so I truly like a lot of different genres and songs, but if I had to pick one forever it will always be rap. Over the last year I started listening to an artist called Rod Wave and haven't stopped listening to him since. The main reason I always listen to him is because I feel like we relate on a lot of stuff and he puts his true feelings into his songs so it is real and relaxing. I have always liked country ...
