9/30/11

Today is the day before the biggest test I have ever taken. Truthfully I feel a sense of confidence and readiness, but I am also very very scared. If I don't get the score I need I don't know how I will feel. I'm juts praying to God that he will help achieve my goal on this test.

9/29/11 My Day off

Well today I'm off. Thank God for this day I off Lord knows I really need it. I have to study for my AP Bio test, I have to do some SAT prep, and October is around the corner and if I want to send out all my applications by November I have to get cracking. All the stress of a high school senior is starting to bare down on me.

9/26/11

Today was real chills got back into the swing of things pertaining to school. So today I emailed the goucher lacrosse coach and told him that Goucher was number one on my list of schools. Even though goucher is the school I want to go to it is very expensive. My goal is to get $50,000 worth of scholarships, Lord willing I will exceed my goal

Sunday 9/25/11

Today was a very melo and chill day. I went to church and we had our annual harvest festival, which was really nice. Today the ravens fried the rams 30 to 0. However when I was in the city of Baltimore my mind was not only on the ravens. Out of the various schools that recruited me for lacrosse, Giucher College Is at the top of my list. So I was thinking that by this time next year the city of Baltimore will be my new home.

AVID INDUCTION WAS AWESOME. Shout out to Dona and Mr. Carney and the whole AVID site team for making such a great AVID Induction. I really feel like my torch was just re-lit. Now I have the drive and the will to finish my senior year strong.

9/20/2011

All I can say is that God is so awesome. I was walking home today and I just looked up and noticed how beautiful it was outside. Today was pretty good. Applying to colleges is vastly approaching and I'm starting to get   stressed about finding scholarships. I wish D3 schools gave scholarships. I also wish someone who played D3 lacrosse could help me. Everyone says there is so much free mney out there. If that is the case how come I can't find any????

Sunday 9/18/2011

Today was pretty mediocre. I went to church with my family and I had a really great time in God's presence. On the other hand the Ravens lost 26 to 13 to the Titans which is really upsetting but I'll get over it when they win next week. 

AVID 12's first Socratic Seminar

The Socratic seminars were very productive and successful. I know it was encouraging for Dona and Mr. Carney to see how well the seminar worked. All the groups brought  up valid points and views that I did not see. However I still feel that our Socratic seminars need a little more heat. I know it is not supposed to be a debate. On the other hand when Jason and Kennedy went at it, it brought out of them a copious amounts of insightful view points. It also made the outer circle yearn to be a part of the inner circle.

AVID INDUCTION

Prosper have been a part of the AVID coterie for 4 years, and it has been a very hard and arduous journey. AVID has taught Prosper plenty of tips and tricks about how to be successful in a 4 year college. Prosper has been involved in a lot of activities besides school. He was part of the men's soccer  team and he is currently a captain of the men's lacrosse team. Prosper is also part of the Male Mentoring Society and National Honors Society. Prosper loves biology so he intends to major in biology and in the end become a physical therapist or a sports doctor. Prosper has been recruited by close to 10 schools to play lacrosse, so hopefully he will be able to fulfill his dream of playing lacrosse in college while getting a quality education at the same time. Prosper knows it is going to be hard balancing school and sports, but he is confident that AVID has prepared him in such a way that he will be successful in both areas.

9/11/11

Today is the 10th anniversary of 9/11. I'm so thankful to God for keeping my father safe that day because his job was not far from there. As for those who were directly affected you have my condolences. However to day is a Sunday and despite the gloominess outside it is a day that the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it.

9/10/11

So I've just come back from visiting goucher college, and I can honestly say that I Love It. Its in the middle of towson but you still get a sense of tranquility. The lacrosse coach was really nice and the have a new turf field, and to top that all off their lacrosse program is sponsored by NIKE.

9/10/11 Goucher Visit

Today is my first recruiting visit goucher college which is 1 of the 7 seven schools that recruited me. Now I can actually meet the coaches and get a feel for what the campus is like. I'm so excited and still in awe of how I got to this point, i\f you had told me 2 months ago that I would be a recruited to play lacrosse in college I would have laughed at you but through hard work and determination God has blessed me with this opportunity.

Back to School Night

Today was another rainy day. Everyone seemed so dull and melancholy which was kind of boring but I still did what I had to do in class. I stayed after for back to school night which was good because I got free food. However it was nice to go to some of my classes and hear the nice things that my teachers had to say about me to my mother. Those nice compliments have given me the will to continue to do well in school.

My first Blog

I have been having so many problems with this blogger website, but thanks to Mr. Carney's help I think I have finally got the hang of it. Today was a very rainy and dull day. However my AVID 12 class was still very live and I was able to see where I am in the college process. I noticed that even though I have started the college process, I still have a long way to go.
