Leaving high school for me wasn't too hard for a thing to do especially for me because I was ready to move on with life. Don't get me wrong I like high school, but just got bored with it really fast. So, the next decision that I had coming in life was where I was going to be attending in the Fall 2009 school year. This began the process of searching and visiting many schools trying to find the best fit for me academically and both athletically.
During my senior year, I went on many visits around Ohio. Anywhere from Lake Erie down to Marietta, I was looking at a variety of schools to get the best feeling. During these visits, the coaches usually showed me around the campus, talking about all the pros of the schools never the cons. Finding the cons was my part of the whole visit because this is where I was going to be for the next four years of my life I better enjoy the experience.
Eventually my decision came down to three schools; Muskingum, Capital, and Defiance. I liked where Capital was and the classes I loved, but I just couldn't picture myself being there at all. Capital is one of those rich schools it seems like and that isn't me at all. Defiance was a decision based on my dad because he had a lot of friends up there that would watch over me. Personally, I didn't like the school at all really, the coach didn't care about the sport, the classes didn't seem to great to me, and it was way to flat. I hated being able to see for miles and miles ahead of me, that would of gotten old fast running on everyday.
Then came Muskingum, which I loved many things about it. The class sizes were just right, the coach had a passion for running and wanted to do something great, and the campus setting was just amazing. People always said they hate the hills, but its not a bad thing at least you get a workout everyday. Muskingum is where I ended up attending and don't regret it at all, but if I could do things over again I did decide that I would of went south.... Far south!!!
