This past weekend I went to Pittsburgh and stayed in the downtown for the first time. We stayed at a very historic hotel which had a lot of good views of the river surrounding the city. My parents an I explored some of the downtown before heading the the history museum. The museum and a lot of interesting artifacts from  history (mostly from Pittsburgh). My favorite part was the artifacts from sports because it showed famous moments from each of the Pittsburgh teams. Other parts of the museum were also interesting like the Heinz exhibit which showed the history of the company since it was based in Pittsburgh. After the museum we went to the basketball stadium at the University to watch West Virginia play Pittsburgh in basketball, which is a big rivalry game. The game was very intense but it became very fun when West Virginia started pulling away in the final minutes of the game. After a day in Pittsburgh we traveled to Morgantown, West Virginia for the football game where they played University of Oklahoma. The game was very cold and it rained a lot but it was worth it in the end because West Virginia ended up winning.

 A learning experience I had recently was Odyssey Week. During this week we did a lot of community building activities where we would go on field trips around the city of Houston and we even went outside of Houston. Some of these activities included sea grass planting in Galveston, going to a temple in Asia Town, and having a cooking competition at Brazos Bend. The cooking competition had to most community building because we where pared up into groups and had to work together to make a dish to impress the judges. The best part about my group is that we didn't even car about winning, we just wanted to have fun and have something to eat.

This week I'm thinking of joining the South Texas PGA (STPGA). This is a youth golf organization that goes throughout South Texas, mostly in the Houston area, and they have golf tournaments every week. Since I want to play golf in the future, I want to start playing competitive golf as early as possible instead of waiting for my Junior or Senior year. This will give me experience and will improve my game a lot. I have recently been practicing with an instructor for the past few weeks and I think I'm able to take on the challenge with playing kids who are on my level or even better.

Recently we had a golf J-Term. Even though I already played golf, I still wanted to learn a little more about the history and more about the course. I learned things like how golf used to be a sport where people would hit a pebble of sand dunes and tracks, and I learned about history of racism and sexism being involved in golf. I found most of the topics very interesting. It was a lot of fun going to the practice facility and even Wildcat Golf Course which was really hard but really fun. One of my favorite parts were helping people out with there swing. The last day was fun because we got to do a tournament (which my team won) and also have pizza for lunch.
