College is not Just About Football

Byline: Howie Clark The V

13 year old Kama has many options for colleges.  

When the bell rings, he goes to the next period. The next bell rings, he is sitting in digital media. Today, he has to do an interview for his school assignment. He did the interview and got good data. However, he also had to get interviewed. He was interviewed and was asked which colleges he wanted to attend. He named three colleges the interviewer was not familiar with except one. The interviewer knew one of the colleges, because it's a division football enemy. The first college he is talking about is The University of Tampa, a small residential university located in downtown Tampa, Florida. It has his favorite sport, lacrosse and that's the reason he wants to go there. Also they have basketball, beach volleyball, cross country, golf, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, track, and volleyball programs. However, he's going there for other reasons, too, like friends, the weather, and on the other side of the world so he can travel and see new parts of the world he hasn't more easily. The next one he wants to go to is Stoneybrook and they have baseball, basketball, cross country, football, lacrosse, track & field, softball, swimming & diving, tennis, and volleyball. But it's somewhere else and it's in New York up north of University of Tampa. Also he wants to explore New York and also make new friends and see if the temperature is crazy like how people say it is. So now for the last one which is Arizona State. He wants to go there because it has all the same stuff but it also has marine biology and he wants to learn it because his favorite animal is a shark. He wants to study more about sharks and he wants to learn to scuba dive. Also, this is the college the interviewer knew. They have baseball. basketball, cross country, football, golf, ice hockey, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field, wrestling, gymnastics, soccer, softball, triathlon, volleyball, water polo. Those are the three colleges he wanted to commit to and be a part of in the future.
