My quote is:::: "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."

This boy is Matt Roth, He was a senior last year at Washington Community High School. I look up to Matt in so many ways. He is a good role model, and an even better basketball player. Instead of caring about his own stats, he cared about the team. He made every shot for the team. Matt is an inspiration to anyone, he is such a good person on and off the court. "Play for the name on the front of the jersey, not the back" He was a great addition to the basketball team. On his jersey, there is a number 2 on the shoulder. That number 2 stands for Evan Knoblauch. He was also a senior last year. He died in a car accident that changed everyones lives forever. He was #2 on the field but #1 in our hearts.

My Lenten Promises:

Now, most people think that giving something up for lent will be easy. To me giving up something is extremely hard. I love ND's rice krispy treats alot. So this year I decided to give them up for lent. Unfortunately, I have not succeeded in my hopes of giving them up. During Lent sometimes for me it is hard to give something up. One year, I gave up chocolate milk... Only because we only had chocolate milk on Fridays. But it back fired because Krogers was running a special all during lent for ten for ten chocolate milks so we always had it in the house. One year I thought about giving up school, I was 7 and stupid!! But in all seriousness, I do try to give something up for Lent. I know that deep down God probably will forgive me because I am truly sorry for eating those rice krispy treats at lunch!!!

What do I want to be when I grow up??

When I was really little, I always wanted to be a teacher. But last summer, my best friend got hurt. She tore her ACL, and I wasn't there to help here. I was in Milwaukee, WI the week she got hurt. I felt like she was helpless, just sitting there all alone without anyone. But when I got back, I realized maybe that was God telling me that I wanted to do something involving Therapy. I realized how much my friend loved sports, and she didn't know what she was missing until it was gone. I realized how much I wanted to help people who loved to do sports, but got hurt. I love helping people, especially those who love sports. If I could go into sports medicine that is my main goal. When I saw how hurt my friend was, I just wanted to help her, in any way, shape, or form that I could.
I hope to one day help those who love sports but cannot play them due to injury.

Service Project...

One service project I am in the middle of trying to get is to help with the softball program at my old school. I love softball so much, and would really enjoy helping those who love the sport to. I know how hard it is to be good at something, and not be able to be recognized for it. I want to be able to help all those girls that are good, that don't get recognition for. Softball is something that I can share with them.
An unknown author once said,
The point of the game is not how well the individual does but whether the team wins. That is the beautiful part of the game, the blending of personalities, the mutual sacrifices for group success. Even when you've played the game of your life, it's the feeling of teamwork that you'll remember. You'll forget the plays, the hits, and the scores, but you'll never forget your teammates.

In helping someone with what they love, will better make my love for the sport.
