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...

College Football Playoffs

     In 2014, college football finally introduced the idea we had been waiting on, The College Football Playoffs. This meant that instead of only two teams getting a chance at the national championship, it would know be four teams. Everyone that enjoys college football was very happy when this was announced.       The first year it was introduced, the final four teams happened to be Ohio State, Oregon, Alabama, and Florida State. In the first round, Oregon defeated Florida State and Ohio State defeated Alabama in an instant classic. This meant it would end up being Oregon versus Ohio State in the championship game. Ohio State went on to defeat Oregon by a score of 42-20 and celebrated winning the first ever college football national championship. I still remember Ohio State winning this game and I lost my mind. I thought it was awesome to see Ohio State win the national championship, but especially with it being the first year of the playoffs. ] ...

The Place to Be

    If you are a sports fan, Cleveland is the place to be right now. Writing that first sentence makes me extremely happy because I have been a die-hard Cleveland sports fan for 22 years now. Trust me, during those 22 years there has been plenty of ugly and not as many smiles. Outside of the Cavaliers winning the NBA championship in 2016, there hasn't been a lot of positives for Cleveland sports fan, but that has finally changed.      First, let's talk about the Cleveland Browns. We all know about them, mostly bad, but that seems to be changed. They are currently 1-0 with one of the best rosters in the NFL. Outside of that, they also signed their future franchise quarterback to a big-time contract. Also, they have one of the best running backs, offensive linemen, and defensive linemen in the whole entire league. For me, this is an exciting time to be a Cleveland Brown fan, especially to see what the future holds for them. I can't pick a favorite Cleveland sports...
