First Post: Background Information

Hello, my name is Evan Eldridge and this is my first year at Kellogg Community College. I am 19 and I graduated last June from Lakeview High School, I earned a football scholarship to play at Siena Heights University and I was there until August when I suffered my sixth concussion and damaged vertebrate in my lower neck during a football practice. I then decided that it was in my best interest to stop playing football so I came home and enrolled at Kellogg Community so here I am now. Making the decision to stop playing football was probably the toughest decision I have ever had to make because I loved playing the game more than anything, but I feel that I made the right choice. My major right now is undecided but I know that I want to do something in business or economics. I enjoy playing golf, both playing and watching basketball, watching both college and NFL football, going camping, hiking, and listening to music. My two favorite sports teams are the Detroit Lions and the Los Angeles Lakers. My favorite player for the Lions is Mathew Stafford and my favorite player for the Lakers is Kobe Bryant, who in my opinion is the second best shooting guard in NBA history behind only Michael Jordan. I have two older brothers and one younger sister and I enjoy spending time with my entire family. I spend most of my free time lifting weights and training. Since I can no longer play football, lifting and working out is what I love doing more than anything. Working out and lifting weights is a great way to relive stress and to also just improve your overall health. My plan is to transfer to either Western Michigan University or Michigan State University. I hope to improve my writing skills through taking this class.
