I have played this game that brings the entire world together for as long as I can remember. During my playing days at high school in Jamaica‚ I competed in the rural area Dacosta Cup. I enjoyed it while it lasted‚ not knowing what college was going to offer me a scholarship. Playing in the semi-finals of 2008 against the defending champions was a life changing experience I will never

This year has been a whirlwind of good and bad times. Between being gone for half the year‚ making amazing friends and having the best classes‚ this year was pretty great.

Playing volleyball helped me learn good time management skills especially when I started playing for the local club team.

My Life Changing Trip Imagine standing on a road in a warm humid place in the middle of nowhere. A place where the grass is dry‚ the fields are endless‚ and the smell of dirt stings the inside of your nose as the wind sweeps by. The roads are narrow and lonely. The only visitors that pass are the few people on bikes and the occasional rusty truck that hums as loud as a lawn mower as it carries sugar cane from a nearby farming village.

Everyone wishes they could changed an event in their life‚ myself being no exception. It almost has a weight upon me‚ after years‚ the one biggest regret in my life. The day my mother died. Her and I never had the best of relationships‚ she struggled with mental issues and drug abuse‚ and was never around me‚ which created a certain disconnection between the two of us. It almost seemed like a portion of my visits always ended in some form of argument. Even at a younger age I almost felt like the

until I was five years old. My brother Ben is two years older than me which is the perfect age difference to create competition between us. When Ben found something new to do‚ I had to do it too. It didn’t matter that I just turned three years old‚ I had to ride my bike without training wheels because Ben just did.

end up being one. My life before the military was very different in many ways. I was very close to my family members and I liked being the average person attending a community college. My view on the military was nothing special‚ I would hear things about the military yet I wouldn’t pay any mind. I should have cared more about the men and women who serve and protect‚ but I was clueless as to what they actually did.
