My first entry!

Hey everyone, my name is D.J., and I’m a freshman at Union Catholic (Class of 2010!!) I can say that after my first half of the year, I absolutely love it here. I have made so many friends, and the environment is always friendly. I am in an all honors course schedule, and my teachers are great. Sports are probably the main things I’m involved with here. I run Varsity Cross Country and Varsity Winter Track, and I am planning on playing baseball in the spring. Our Cross Country team won Conference for the third straight year this past fall, and our Winter Track team recently won Conference and Counties! That is how I meant a lot my friends. It is so important to get involved in an activity when you come here. I starting practicing with our Cross Country team over the summer, and by the time school started I already knew a few people in the school, so it made it easier starting in a new school. Knowing a few faces can make a big difference starting in a brand new school. I am also involved in the Irish Vikings. The Irish Vikings is a club that helps the Union County Parade Committee prepare for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Union and we march in it - it should be really great! I have made so many friends here, and I still haven’t gotten to know a lot of kids in my class. There is something for everyone here, that’s what made me decide to come to UC. There are activities for all kids. Well, I just wanted to give you a little back round information about myself, and I’ll keep you posted on how the rest of my year goes.
