Twitter

To start off I'm not a huge social media kind of guy, I would much rather just talk to someone then e-mail them.  On top of that I'm not good at computer stuff, but I know what I need to know and get by.  I have a face book account which I use, but I don't post on walls very often just because It easier to text for me since when I'm on the computer I usually don't have a ton of time to mess around.  So Twitter for me wasn't really anything great, I can see how a lot of people would really like it but it's not really my thing.  I personally think it would be kind of annoying hearing little things like: when I woke-up, and when I'm going to eat, or study.  Some people I sure would love to just sit on the computer and see what all their friend are up to.  I don't have near enough time to sit there and read what everyone is up to.  I just left twitter up in until I got my 20 post so it wasn’t that time consuming to do that.   I think that it would be really cool to follow someone who is famous just to see what their life is like but I would kind of feel like a creep watching what they are up to.  That’s another thing I would feel weird if someone was following me and they ask me about something that I did last week like, how did practice go last Monday.  I would feel like they are stocking me and that just a weird feeling.  This experience definitely opened my eyes to a new source of social media, but once it’s done I’ll probably delete it because I get five or six e-mails from twitter everyday that just make it a pain to check my e-mail.  Like I said before I’m not great with computers so I’m not sure how to make a link, you can get on my twitter account by going to twitter.com and typing in Collin Fett.

My story

There was a day that when I was playing basketball at the YMCA back home with all my friend that I was on fire.  It was the best feeling every I could literally make every shot on the court without any problem.  It just felt like everything was in sink, I felt so smooth and so confident.  I know that this feeling that I had can translate over to other parts of my life and really help me to excel.

On this particular day at the YMCA, it was a week day over Christmas break my senor year.  I went to the Y about a half hour before my friends got there to shoot around for alittle while.  I still remember everything from that day, there was this little kid that was there and I was talking to him, and he started getting my rebound and passing me the ball.  The kid was so amazed by how many shot that I was making that he didn't want to stop rebounding the ball for me he literally stayed and rebounded for a half hour.  I think that because the kid was so amazed that it gave me confidence to make the rest of my shots.

The feeling that I had to get me into this groove at the YMCA that day it a feeling that I can work to get into everyday.  I think that it is very important to have confidence in everything that you do.  You need to be confident in every answer that you put on every test and to every person that you talk to.  I learn a lot about how to be successful that day.

I learned how to live my life smooth and confident one day at the YMCA from a little kid.  One day at the Y alittle rebounded for me and made me feel like god, it was the coolest feeling ever and it gave me confidences to be a better shooter.  I use that confidence that I learned from that kid everyday in my life and I feel that it has helped my a lot in my first part of college.
