Basketball

Before attending Durham College, I spent the past four years at G.L.Roberts. I played basketball for three years, and went to OFSAA for all three seasons. OFSAA is a tournament that the best teams in the province are envited to. It is held in a different place every year. The last three years it has been held in Timmins, Windsor, and at my school in Oshawa. I have also been to New Brunswick twice. For me, basketball was the best part of high school because it gave me something to look forward to. I hated waking up and going to school but i loved waking up and going to practises. Being on a team with the same individuals for 3 years felt like playing with family. We were the best double A team in oshawa and one of the best in durham. My last year, we finished our leauge at the top. 16 - 0!  Basketball was great but sports for me is my life. I was athelete of the year for two years in a row and recently played on a top 10 provincial soccer team. I won lossa for tennis and badminton for 3 years in a row, and was the most improved player on my high school rugby team. Gotta enjoy the little things.

Social Media

I believe that social media has increased the quality of news because people can get the news anywhere, anytime. In the past, people had to be in their home, watching a television to see the news. In this modern era, we can get the news through computers and cell phones. Everyone has a cell phone. We can view the news from anywhere in the world with the click of a button. The quality of news has also increased because now we hear about everything. We do not only hear about big events in the media, we hear about every piece of news that is published. Social media has increased the quality of news, and will continue to do so for generations to come.

I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul

This means that only you can control your fate. Your life is in your own hands. No matter happens, you are responsible for your life. Another quote that reffers to this one is, "life is what you make it". I control what my life is like and you control yours. When i grow up, I should not be able to blame someone else for somehting that did or did not happen in my life. My fate is mine to make, and mine to discover.

Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought togeather

This quote means that nothing great was done the first time. It would be rare for someone to think of a theory or an idea for the first time with no defects. Perfection comes from practise, and repitition. I play basketball. When i took my first jumpshot, it did not go in. I spent several hours and many weeks perfecting my jumpshot so that when gameitme came, I had my jumpshot. Greatness is not created, it is developed through a series of things that leads you to your end product. Remember, Rome wasnt built in a day, it took two.

Life Organizes around the standards you set for yourself

This quote means that your life is shaped by the goals you set for yourself and how you approach your life. If you set your standards in life high, you will have everyhting that you want. As long as you are determined to set goals and be the best that you can be, you will be happy. Your lifestyle determines your life.
