jays blog post 1

Hello my name is Jay DeVito and I'm a PG here at Cheshire Academy. I'm excited to see what Cheshire has to offer me academically and athletically. This year I will play baseball and basketball. I'm excited to get on the field and court with my new family here at school!

One interesting thing about me is that I was a three sport athlete in high school. Playing three sports in high school was one of the best things I've ever done in my life. I loved playing in front of family and friends and never wanted to stop competing. Going from one sport to the next could have had some wear and tear on my body but I just never wanted to stop. Yea, I'm sure if I played one sport and worked on it all year I'd be a lot better but I wanted to be out there playing for my school, family, and friends.

Another interesting and important thing about me is that I love fantasy football. I do a ton of research on players all over the NFL to see who will fit on my team. This year I'm in two leagues and I was happy with both of my drafts and excited for the season. It's a very good way to get entertained and into the games on Sunday's. Hopefully this year will be the year that I take home a championship. Playing in my fourth year now I have yet to win it all. I take this very serious and it's important tome because the winner does get a little money if they win.

My last interesting thing about me is that I can juggle. Not can I just juggle 3 balls I can even do 4. In 5th grade we had a talent show and two other kids and I juggled bowling pins. Even though they were plastic pins my classmates and family were very impressed.          

I'm taking this class for many reasons. First of all getting embarrassed in front of a ton of people is the worst. Stuttering, talking to fast or too slow in front of a lot of people is also pretty bad. I want to do whatever it takes to sound smarter in front of my piers. I think public speaking is very difficult but it's very important in life. People start judging you the minute you start talking, so would you want to be judged in a poorly way because of the way you had a conversation? I think not, so those are the main reasons why I am taking this class.
