It Begins...

Hello Everyone.
This is my first time ever posting to a blog so its def taken me a while to learn the ins and outs of blogging. I'm not the most computer literate in the world so I did some reading up on blogging techniques and all that before registering this. I'm quite excited to finally be starting this and I truly hope you ll enjoy reading it.
The purpose of this blog is to document my journey from now to the 2012 Olympics in London. I wish to take all of you on this journey with me, through all the up and downs, successes and failures. Even though Ive been competing for eight years I feel that the next four years will define my career and therefore Ive decided to create this living chronicle.
Since I was little I have always been addicted to the Olympics. I loved the purity of amature sports and the passion of the athletes. My hero's were not professional football or Baseball stars but rather men and women like Gary Hall Jr, Kerri Strug, and Michael Johnson. While watching the 2000 Olympics in Sydney I decided that, whatever the cost, I would one day walk in the Parade of Nations.
Since that day eight years ago I have been competing in the sport of Archery. I currently attend The University of Arizona in Tucson Arizona as a Near Eastern Studies major and serve as the President of the archery team there. During the summer I live and train at my parents place up in Phoenix.
Ill get into more about me and my athletic history later...for now I think its time to hit the sack so Im not dead during practice tomorrow. SEE YA ALL THEN
