About Me

Hello fellow AP Comp classmates (and Mr. Kunkle)! I finally decided to get started on my summer AP Comp blog, so this first post is to describe a little about me, my family, and my hobbies. So let's get started!

First, about me. As most of you know, school is important to me. I do well in school, and for me, doing well in school means doing well for your future. But success comes with hard work, it's not given to you. I have hours of homework every night on top of my extracurricular activities, and what I gain in studying I lose in sleep! For some people, it's hard to do well in school. I feel truly gifted and blessed with the strive and ability to succeed.

When I'm not in school or studying, I do have many interests and hobbies. I play two sports for our school, one in fall and one in spring. Every new school year means a new football season for me, and a new opportunity to be part of a possible Rock Valley conference championship team. I have been part of the past two conference championship teams, and nothing would please me more than to win a three-peat my senior year! But, as with school, success comes with hard work. I begin preparing for the upcoming season in June with a weightlifting program that continues through July and ends a week before the season starts (the end of July) The season starts the second Monday of August, and ends either at the end of October or the beginning of November. So as you can see, almost of the half of my year is dedicated to the rough-and-tumble life of a football player. But once March rolls around, I put away my cleats and string up my racket: it's tennis season! I have always had a secret liking for tennis, but I didn't start playing for our school team until my sophomore year. I enjoy tennis because it is a nice break from the intensity of the football season. I am also in Student Council, Chess Club, NHS, and am the sports editor for the Spotlight. When I do have spare time, I enjoy
watching TV (especially sports), and both hunting and fishing with my dad and brother.

Lastly, I need to tell you about my family. My mom, Karen, works at WPS Health Insurance over in Monona. My dad, Ron, is currently unemployed and gaining Worker's Compensation for a back injury while working at the USPS building over on Milwaukee Street in Madison. I love my family very much, and enjoy spending time with them on weekends.

Well that's pretty much me in a nutshell. I look forward to having AP Comp with all of you and reading your blogs!
