A Day in the Life : Injuries - The Best Teacher an Athlete Could ask For?

Injuries - The Best Teacher 

an Athlete Could ask For?

By: Lisette Rodriguez 

About Me: Hi!!! Welcome back to my blog, A Day in the Life, I'm your host Lisette Rodriguez. I am 15 years old and I am a sophomore at Fenton who plays basketball, volleyball, and softball. My Parents are both Hispanic and I LOVEEEE going to Mexico, I actually went this summer and had my quinceñera as you can see in the picture. I have an older brother that is a freshman in college at the Illinois Institute of Technology and is majoring in architecture. And why not just add a little fun fact...my favorite animal is a horse so for my fifteenth birthday (quinceñera) I got my own photo shoot with a ton of horses it was amazing!! 

Varsity Basketball (2018)

This is a topic I take dearly to heart because I, fortunately, haven't suffered from any type of injury, and for me to have been playing sports since I was in first grade is pretty impressive. I am thankful that I haven't gotten injured, but I realize the consequences and the probabilities of getting injured while playing a sport is very likely. This has been a big eye-opener for me because I realize no matter the injury it's all up to you and how you take in everything that contributes to your next decision. Having a brother and a father who have been seriously injured while sports is scary but that won't take away my love for sports. . .

Basketball summer league (2018)
JV volleyball (2018)

Freshman Softball (2018)


I won't lie I love playing ALL and any sport but my all time favorite is, has, and will always be basketball. As a freshman last year I got moved up right away to the JV team, I won't lie it was a bit nerve-racking at first but I eventually got used to it. This past summer I played in a summer league with most of the varsity team and the head coach asked me to play with varsity this year! So now as a sophomore going into a varsity team is scary but I always enjoy a challenge.

Isaac's Podcast- School Causes Stress on Teens (Ep.1)

Image
School causes stress on teens Podcast Pitch And welcome back to Isaac's podcast, so stress and school. Man those two things match so perfectly. Stress brings such worry, such anxiety. Many kids struggle and try to cope with it but they always seem to fail because they always aim for perfection yet don't succeed at that. They struggle their whole life because they were so focussed on getting that A in high school. They were so focussed on getting the work done, instead on focusing on what life really matters. The school system it just, things are due, there are due dates in school and kids try to meet those standards but they have sports, they have families, they want to have fun, they don't want to spend their young years worrying, but they end up worrying, and stressing, and thats the sad truth. ⇩Link Below⇩ https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Q9CfDFBpJ8pcEEAu9FKOS_kCLiuYhyB5  Sources cited:  http://web.b.ebscohos...

WHAT THE TRUMP?! The Teenage Thoughts on the Donald Trump Presidency

Image
Teenagers and Trump The most controversial man in America happens to be our president.  Donald J. Trump, the United States' 45th president, split America into  two halves. While many people (about half the United States) agreed  with him and his proposed political agenda, he still managed to draw lots of  controversies.   Is Donald Trump doing anything wrong? Are the American people being over-dramatic towards his presidency? Maybe it isn’t that Trump is doing a bad job, but that the American people are still caught up in that he managed to beat Hillary? Rather than having adults answer these questions, maybe it’s time that kids share their opinions because the only opinions we ever get are old stinky adult ones. Find out in this episode of Arekcast, with your host Arek Gadomski, as we gather information from teenage High-school students on our president and discuss controversial topics regarding him.
