Something I Would Change

Something that I would change in my life would be when I decided to start playing basketball. If I could go back, I would have faced my fears of trying the sport immediately. I would not of waited until my 7th grade year, instead I would of looked for some church or organization near by and started early. After playing these last couple of years I realized how much I love playing basketball. At first when I would have a game, I would be so nervous, and now I'm so excited for my game I cannot stand having to wait until after school to play. I am so used to playing now, I do not even acknowledge that there is a crowd, or people on the stands. All. I can focus on is being in the game and doing what I do best. Looking back how I realize if I would of started playing earlier, I would have more practice and would most likely be a better player. Being a better player now would of benefited all my different teams. I could of practiced better, and in the end helped my team mates out even more. Even though this is something I would change I obviously cannot now, so all I can do is practice hard and be the best I can be.

Family and Friendship

One thing I value most is family and friendship. I have learned over time that not everybody in my life is going to stick by my side, and that when there is someone in my life that does stick by my side they are a keeper! Most of the time when things get rough, or when that person meets someone new, they all of the sudden disappear. When these people walk out, sometimes I learn it is for the better. Who really wants a bunch of fake people in their life anyway? Even though it is probably for the best, it does not mean it is easy. I have had to figure out the hard way that not only in friendships, but also in relationships, that just because someones feelings are set in a certain place does not mean the other person's are too. I think at this stage in our lives we are starting to see people for who they really are, and we are realizing that maybe we are better without them. In the end I have learned people will walk in and out of our lives no matter what, but family is forever and I would not trade mine for the world. 

Our Trip to the Fair :)

     Towards the end of this summer I went to the Lorain County Fair with my boyfriend and his family. When we first arrived we had to wait for the hayride to come get us because we're parked far from the entrance. We finally got in, and we started to walk around looking at what there was to do. I immediately wanted to go look at all the animals, but my boyfriend on the other hadn did not. He hates how bad they smell, and he did not really want to even go near them. I finally was able to convince him to go in the barns with me, but I told him he could not act stingy and make it boring. After we looked at all the animals, we then decided to walk around and play some games. While my boyfriend was playing this baseball game, he almost won $100. He was so irritated that he lost so we left the game's section, and we went to find something to eat. There was so many choices, so we just decided to eat these waffle things. They tasted good, but they had a weird texture. By the time we left I was happy I had a good time, and I decided we should go back next year.

"Adrianna"

The night I was born who knew who I would grow up to be, but for some unknown reason this is the name my mother gave to me. 
I often ask myself " how come ", for I was left with no one to pattern myself from.
With a Latin beginning, it's popularity in Italy still seems to be winning.
Chosen over my now middle name Josephine, I know now that my name was mean't to be. 
The name Adrianna accompanied with character but no weakness, just helps me emphasize my uniqueness.
A meaning of beauty so exotic and rich, my name is used to describe Adria a place that no longer can be enriched.
Adrian being the male version of my name, I'm starting to wonder if the characteristics would be the same.
After researching I realized no matter the spelling; Adrionna, Adriaunna, Adriana, my name is one of a kind, and nothing suits me better then what my parents made mine.
