Life Outside Schoolwork

Hey everyone, hope your school year is going great. It is starting to get to that time of year for us seniors to make a decision about what college we are going to attend. Recently, I applied to a good amount of schools and have heard back from a few different schools. I was accepted into Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia and really like the school. I applied for a scholarship to the school that would give me a lot of money and might make my college choice that much easier. As part of my out of school activities, I coached a youth CYO basketball team at my church IHM. It was a great experience and we made it to the championship game, and even though we lost I still loved the experience. I coached with my friend Matt and every Friday night we had a great time coaching the third and fourth graders. The day after the championship game, we went down to Toms River to watch my good friend DJ run the 1600 meters in the MOC which stands for the Meet of Champions. It is the all group meet for track in New Jersey, which means the best of the best. He won the race with the second fastest time in the nation and beat the kid with the fastest time in the nation. It was a fantastic race and I got so excited that I started screaming and lost my voice for the whole week. We are all so excited for him as he going to attend The University of Notre Dame next fall. I hope all of you are having a great year and I am looking forward to meeting most of you that are coming to UC.
