My Job Had A Victory

V-i-c-t-o-r-y! Blue Crew was victorious against FAST (Faculty and Staff team) this afternoon. We didn't win all five games; however, we managed to win three out of the five games that we actually played. Unfortunately, we had no spectators come out to watch our matches. In a way, that was not the least bit cool. I bet that more people would have come to watch the tournament if it had been at a different time. . . or even if it had been scheduled for a different day. Knowing that the weather was beautiful, the games could have been played outside. If that had been put into consideration, more people might have come out to watch Blue Crew KILL FAST! People walking by would have had a glimpse of an exciting afternoon.
FAST and Blue Crew had such a good time today, we hate to only do this once a year. The hope is to do this more often. It's not for charity, but it is a lot of fun. It gives students and staff a chance to interact outside of school. Until I actually became a student here at UIS, I only thought that students and faculty normally didn't do much interaction outside of the classroom doors. Boy, was I wrong!

My Interesting Life As a Student

Springfield, Illinois, United States
I'm living in Springfield, but I'm originally from Chicago. I am now living in a group home for people who are visually impaired. Living at the Mary Bryant Home has been a huge step in my life. I am now able to get involved in activities every day. I am making lots of new friends, and I'm enjoying living with my new family. Since I'm the youngest person, I feel like I have lots of parents and grandparents, and even my best friend, who is like a big sister, to spend my time with. I don't think I'd change this for anything else in the world.
