Originally I created this blog for the next 9 months as I pursue my journey at National Sports Academy! Im very excited to finally be posting about my experience at school. So lets just jump in to it!

Well Im here! Week 4 and I love this school! Just before I reach my one month mark at NSA I feel like I've done it all. Already I have become such great friends and so close with the girls on my floor. I live with the Girls Hockey Team. Therefore, I am the only girl skier here until November (when Winter Term starts). Although I do wish there were more skiers here I am very excited to learn about the world of hockey and just enjoy this experience with them. The boys team here is very nice. The faculty is amazing, they are willing to work with you on a serious note, and know when it is right to joke around. Last week, the Philadelphia Flyers were at the famous rink at the Olympic Training Center (which I can walk to and see from campus). All the hockey players were pretty pumped, I even got a chance to see them practice for 30 minutes. Another thing was at school I am the youngest! Its pretty sweet, besides everyone being overprotective and the little kid/ 8th grader jokes. Haha, love these kids.

Can't wait to post more. Talk to you all later!

Love,
