My senior year has been a wild ride. Coming in, I didn’t know what to expect, but I knew it was going to be a lot of work. Having to balance school work with college applications can be hard. It’s a good learning experience on how to balance your work.

It taught me to have more patience and take time with my work and not rush. I take pride in my work, and I don’t want to put stuff out that doesn’t represent me. Going into college, I want to start strong, so […]

This state championship meant a lot more to me than many people know. Getting to see some of my best friends win the first state championship in 44 years is a crazy accomplishment.  However, it’s even more special for me because of the reason that someone that I’ve basically known my whole life went and won it. 

Peter Hosty has been one of my best friends since preschool, and he was the starting center for the state game. He and I have gone to the same schools together for 14 years now. His mother […]
