Lawrence...Not Too Many Left of Them

Not too good at blogging, this website used to frustrate me, but...

It is often difficult for others to determine what I like or what is most important to me, as I am unsure myself sometimes. What I do know is that I was born on a mild October 12th, 1991 In St Joseph's hospital, and raised in Stoney Creek, with my parents and one sister. Each member of my family has influenced me in their own different way. My parents have always been firm believers of putting others ahead of themselves, and never become selfish. Besides giving me the ability to lash out, my sister has always been my motivation to work harder in every important aspect of my life. Spending a lot of time as a child with my Italian grandparents, they were able to teach me certain things my parents never could. Unfortunately, I never learned to speak fluent Italian, but the more time spent with my grandparents, the more I began to understand them. The friends I have kept and the new ones I have made during the four years of high school have also contributed to the person I am today. Many of my friends are great examples of how every person should be, as others who I have lost decided to take the wrong path, which makes me realize I am going in a positive direction.

But enough of that. I am seventeen years old, and attending hopefully my last year at Orchard Park Secondary School. After high school, my plan is to attend university in the States on a baseball scholarship. I have always enjoyed writing; one would hope this is the case considering I decided to take Writer’s Craft. . Secondly, I believe this course will help develop my writing abilities and help earn my way into a sports journalism course in university. I have played elite baseball for five years; this upcoming year will be the first I play for the Niagara Rebels organization. I am obsessed with the National Football League, even more so with my die hard favourite team, the New York Giants. My weekly mood from Monday to Saturday is usually determined by the outcome of the Giants game on Sunday, enough said <3. Without sports, I cannot imagine how much I would hate life. Music tends to have a similar effect. I enjoy rock and metal, not to mention the overplayed rap/hip-hop songs day in, day out.

All in all, I plan on making my final semester the best one yet, entertainment wise and of course school wise. The best way to exit high school is on a high note, and I plan to fulfill this feat the best I possibly can. Sorry to drag this on, but no big deal, no big deal.
