Waz up?

Waz up everyone, my name is Alex and this is my first official entry into my online blog.

Well first I would like to introduce myself. I am 18 years old, which I turned, like, at the beginning of this year on January 28, which makes me an Aquarius.

I am a senior, which is one of the most exciting and happiest things right now in my life. I have waited so long for this year and now it is going to be over in less than three days. I graduate this Saturday, which can already wait.

Wrapping up my high school career is actually to be honest, I am going to miss. I am going to miss my teammates and my coaches and all the fun things we have done, the girl talks, the 10 fingers (it's a game), and just acting a fool with them.

Looking back to my goals when I started out, I wouldn't change anything about these past for years because I accomplished most of what I wanted to do. I say to everyone, freshmen to seniors, set goals for yourself, it makes the process easier and funnier.

I enjoy traveling and one thing track has allowed me to do is see the world. To be able to leave Chicago and see the many different cultures. It is a blessing and something I never take for granted.

I am very spiritual in my religion. I read my bible or verses like everyday because I know without God I wouldn't have been able to accomplish alll that I have and also to have good health.

I just think I have a normal life with a normal family and friends, but I am not like the normal teenage girl. I think that no athlete is like the regular teenager.

To celebrate my graduation, I think I am going kick it with my family and my friends and go to a couple of parties. I actually took all my finals yeterday and don't have to come back to school.

This summer I plan to kick it too hard. I mean do everything with my friends because I won't see them for quite sometime. My bestfriends, are to FAMU AND Xavier in New Orleans. I have know two out of the three, the two I just mentioned for 12 years. I am going to run and still train because I am trying to make this Pan Am team, which if I made it would be so cool.

I love volleyball that is why I played it for all four years of high school, and I think that track runners just need a break from running . Some run year round and I know that could be so frustrating. Volleyball is my time away from track and i think that in high school athletes should play more than just one sport.

My advice to the younger kids is just enjoy what you do and always have fun doing it. No one wants to be stressed out. I wanna work this summer but don't know if I will have time for that.

I think when I leave for school the people i am going to miss the most is my frineds and my boyfriend. He travels a lot now so sometimes I won't see him for like seven months unless he comes home on one of his off days. He plays minor league baseball.

I love all types of music and basically will listen to anything. I like Alicia Keys, Amerie and JLo. My favorites movies are Forrest Gump, Color Purple and Playas Club. I am a movie buff. I know every line and action to all the movies right after I watch it and I watch all types of movies but my favorite kind are romantic ones. I am a very emotional person . I love to write poetry, skate ( roller and ice), ride bike, shop, and see the christmas lights around christmas time on the houses.

And eat. I love to eat. My favorite food are tacos and frenchfries which may not be considered part of an athlete's diet.

I really don't have a personal style. I like to wear what looks good on me but I love to show my legs because they are long and toned. My teammates always make fun of how I have big calves but it is just in my genes. My friend says my legs look like baseball bats.

Well I just wanted to give you a little intorduction into who I am because I think it is important. i hope you got a chance to get to know a little about me. I'd like to end with this though : Live life to the fullest and like it is your last day.
