INTRO

I figured that since I love to write, I would blog it. I also figured that my life has to be interesting enough that people will want to read about it, and if not, at least I'll have a well kept record of the events in my life.

The name is Jerica, but most call me Jay. I am a 20 year old woman, and a student athlete at San Diego State University. One of the main reasons that I wanted to start this blog is to give people an inside look in the life of a student-athlete. The grooling schedules and pressure can only be appreciated by the ones who have done it, and are doing it. Do not get me wrong, I LOVE what I do and would not change it for the world. Only recently have I come to realize that many people would kill to be in the position that I have been blessed to be in. I believe that some people, and may I note that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, would consider student athletes to be lucky. I beg to differ that luck has anything to do with scholarship athletes. It is about hardwork, determination, and as my coach loves to say, mental toughness. Not discrediting what "regular" students do. As we love to call them. I respect any and everyone who is passionate about whatever it is that they do.

okay I am beginning to ramble... with this blog I plan to share the days of my life with you as they pass. From the great days, to the down days, to the days where I swear nothing happened. From my laughs to tears, my only goal is document the moments that I may take for granted.

Stay tuned and enjoy
