Journal - 2nd of Week 2

Since the last time I posted a journal, a lot of things have happened. I had my mentor meeting; I had my interview with Mr. Bautista and he said I would be able to go into his fourth hour guitar class whenever I was able to; I had my distract semi-final game and then I had my championship game. With the numerous things happening this week it has been kind of hard to sit down and journal. Well first thing is first, my mentor meeting and interview helped me finalize my decision of pursuing my ambition of learning how to play the guitar. Two main reasons helped me to decide that that is what I want to do for my WISE project; the first one is that Mr. Bautista has given me a perfect opportunity to pursue it and the second one is that I feel that this is a perfect and a once in a life time opportunity. It’s almost like after high school, life is just going to blast off and it will be difficult to find a time to learn how to do something that you always wanted to learn how to do. That pretty much sums up the WISE part of my week.
                Basketball has always been a big part of my life and the last couple of weeks my attention has been driven to that probably more than any time before. Not only is this because it’s my senior year and there’s a possibility that this might be my last chance to play organized basketball, but also because I wanted to win Districts, not just for my team but also for my coach who has done so much for me. Saturday we played in the District Championship and I can’t remember the last time I saw so many people crying in the same place. Some people were crying because they were happy and others because they were sad. I’m happy that I can say that everyone cheering for Cypress Bay who cried had tears of joy. It was an intense game and it came down to the last 20 seconds.
