Introduction

My name is Anthony Fanwick. I am currently a student at St John's University. I am currently an Accounting major, but I intend on going to law school. I would really like to become a real estate attorney like my unlce and I would really love to acquire a job at his firm. This is where I am currently in my life, but it took many years for me to come to this point in my life.

I was born on Decemeber 6, 1987, in New York. I have lived in the same house in Holbrook since I was born. I live with both of my parents. My father's name is Robert and he is a Suffolk County Police Officer in the Canine unit. He has been on the job for 24 years. My mothers name is Susan and she works as a Secretary for the Superintendent of Center Moriches Schools. I also have a brother named Vincent. Vincent is two years younger than me and is enrolled in Sachem East High School.

Before coming to St John's, I attended Sachem East High School. I graduated with 652 children. Many people do not like the size of my school district saying it was too, large and that children cannot possibly get a good education. I strongly disagree with this because the school was on a very personal level and also it made our athletic teams very strong. While in high school I played both varsity soccer and varsity tennis. In 2004, my soccer team won the Suffolk County Championship and this would be one of the greatest feelings of my life. That team was like a bunch of brothers that knew how to have fun, but when it was time to play there was no goofing around. From our best to our worst player everyone contributed equally. There was no better feeling then piling on each other after scoring a golden goal in the second overtime of the county championship game. We just piled on and celebrated for 10 minutes and nothing can top that feeling. My varsity tennis career was awesome as well. I did not begin to play tennis until I was in tenth grade, in tenth grade I only played in a few matches because I was not able to work my way into the starting line up due to my inexperience. In eleventh grade I played junior varsity again but I started every match at first single and I recorded a record of 12-1. In my senior year I teamed up with my best friend Dom to play first doubles on varsity tennis. Dom and I recorded a record of 14-2 and received all league and all county honors. This was one the greatest accomplishments to me. I never expected to win while playing tennis. I just picked it up for fun.

In my life basically sports, family and friends have made the person I am today and I am very thankful for that.

This blog is kind of intresting to me. I do not really know how to use it properly yet, but I am working on it. It is fun to write freely with out worrying about things. This blog seems like it will be a good place to start writing freely. I have always wanted to, but just never figured it out. I am glad that we are doing this in class.
