Martha’s Vineyard

A great summer spot

"A vacation is what you take when you can no longer take what you've been taking."Earl Wilson

 

Martha’s Vineyard is one of my favorite places on Earth. I have been going there since I was born and I can’t wait to go back every summer. The town I go to on Martha’s Vineyard is called Edgartown and in my completely unbiased opinion, it is the best town on the island. One of my favorite things about Martha’s Vineyard is its relatively small size, which means I can bike a lot of places like the gym or to a meal.

Windsor Mountain

Low expectations proved wrong

“I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery. Air, mountains, tree, people. I thought: this is what it is to be happy.”-Anonymous

We all walked down the wet rocky path, tired from a long day of bus rides and games. The rain-soaked rocks hurt my toes as I walked down the path to the waterfront. As soon as we got to the lake and looked out over the glassy water, the sun peered out from the clouds and we were all happy. We ran to the dock and jumped in the water, and as soon as I got in, my entire body just felt the cold run up from my toes to the top of my head. Once we had grown accustomed to the cold, we all started wrestling on the water mat, throwing each other into the freezing water. As we all got tired out and went back onto shore and the warmth returned, we all knew this was going to be an amazing trip.

My favorite thing to do at Fenn.

"Losing doesn't make me want to quit, it makes me want to FIGHT that much HARDER"--Bear Bryant

 

 

One of my favorite things to do at Fenn is, you guessed it, pay football. People have been coming up to me this year and trying to tell me how bad the team is this year and how we won’t win any games. This is really maddening considering the work we’ve been putting in and how our team is actually quite good this hear so I can’t wait to prove all of them wrong.

Football

The greatest game on earth

“Football is football and talent is talent but the mindset of your team makes all the difference”-Robert Griffin III, Baltimore Ravens

            Football is an absolutely different type of game. The whole way you go about playing is just a completely different mindset than which you would bring to anything else. I was taught to be nice and be gentle with people my whole life and then when I started playing football, you are pretty much trained to deliver as much pain and suffering to your opponent as possible. If you ever watch the NFL or mic’d up, you can find out that most of these football players are complete psychoes. But football is definitely not a game for everybody. Some people just can’t fathom wanting to hurt someone that much, yet football is my favorite thing in the entire world and there is no place I’d rather be on a Sunday afternoon in September than getting ready to go into battle with my brothers.
