    The ones who lived there full time were there because they didn’t have anywhere else to go. Like so many town on the frontier, especially in the northern territories at that time, Lovell was the product of a moment. It sprang up to provide needed services to the men of the hills that were looking for gold. Those men either found it and left, gave up and left, or met their maker while being there. Either way they didn’t stick around. The town was also on the edge of the northern wagon train trail leading to the Montana territories and not too far removed from the trail leading to the Canadian wilderness and the fur traders trails north of the border. That meant that there were folks coming ad gong on wagons and stagecoaches all the time. They would invariably take one look at Lovell and decide that as soon as possible they would move on. Those who did call the place home, if that word could be used for such a place, didn’t usually do so for long. They would, just like those transient men who came and went on their search for riches, would give it a while to see what turned up and after discovering that nothing was ever going to packed their bags if they were able and headed out to better…

    The Weeksville Heritage Center (WHC) is a museum that is dedicated to preserving the history of the once African American community named Weeksville. Weeksville was America's first free black community that's was founded by James Weeks. Now it is part of Crown Heights and Bedford- Stuyvesant. Weeksville was a hub were many runaways and fugitive slaves went to escape slavery. By the 1850s, Weeksville started to become more established as more than 500 people came to this community for the opportunity of gaining land and using their new found status as a homeowner to vote. This community was built on several key values like education, religion and taking care of women, children and the elderly. Which led to many predominant African Americans to help establish churches, schools and business so that those African Americans with talents were able to thrive. A few places that were built was to help to educate others were the Colored School Number 2, now known as P.S 243 The Weeksville school, Zion Home for Colored Aged, Howard Colored Orphan Asylum, which many people go to read books and the Berean Missionary Baptist Church, which was the first church to be built from the ground up.

    As an athlete you can get to see the different types of attitudes and emotions other athletes have, good or bad. In high school I started playing sports which really got my competitive side out but it also came with emotions I didn’t know how to control at the time. My first time playing volleyball I started off by practicing and playing with the varsity team at school. When season came along I didn’t make the cut for varsity so I was put on the J.V. team with girls who didn’t know how to play that well. That’s when my emotions started to show because I wasn’t used to playing with a team where I was the only one that knew what we had to be doing. After that season was over the next two years I was on varsity and I was still not able to get ahold of my attitude and emotions. I was aware that this was a problem for the team and I and that I looked bad but I didn’t know how to control it so I let it be. My last season I had learned to control myself but it was very limited and it wasn’t enough. When I finally graduated my coach asked me if I would like to help him with the team, I agreed. I started going to their games and practices and noticed two of the girls had the same attitudes as I did and felt how frustrating it was to deal with them but I decided not to pay attention to them. It was at one of their games when it hit me and I realized that I used to look as bad as they did and I was really embarrassed of myself. At that point I made myself a promise that I would keep my emotions and attitude on check if I played in college I wanted a fresh start and I’ve kept my promise till this…
