When I first arrived in August, I expected that school would be a lot easier– I was way wrong! I soon realized that school would be much harder than 6th grade. More tests, quizzes, homework… It was December and Christmas break was almost here… I was nearly dead.

Eventually I figured out that completing work early was the key to 7th grade, I mean, by the next day you would only receive more! In English there is a blog post due every Friday, Science, reading notes(blaghh!), Spanish, worksheets, Tx History, Vocabulay… Aggghhhhh, so much homework?!!!

As the year comes to an end, although I have learned A LOT of tips, tricks and lessons, man am I thanking my lucky stars…

Golf has been one of my biggest passions for a long time and I frequently practice, with friends, family, whoever pretty much! It doesn’t matter to me who I play with, I just love to play!

To be a good golfer you must know and understand the game. “Practice, practice, practice” my dad always tells me, and as I age I can see that advice coming into play.  Watching the masters and my dad play has really opened me up to new kinds golf such as tournament play and just playing for fun. To be honest that’s not something I’ve always known. My brother likes to play golf as well and I’m telling you it’s always a competition between us. But I usually beat him…

Currently today I am on the West Ridge Golf team. It’s a blast! I’ve played in my first couple of tournaments and it’s something else… Something crazy fun. I love to compete and play against other people and tournaments are exactly what thats made of , competing, playing, practicing…

Golf is life to me.
