Hi! I am Mitch Brown; I am 18 years old and am currently attending Florida Gulf Coast University seeking a degree in engineering. I started my life growing up in Tulsa, Oklahoma with my mother and two sisters, Natalie (21) and Elizabeth (14). I was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of six and have, for the most part, gotten used to dealing with the everyday hassles. I grew up living the average American life playing little league baseball, breaking bones, and falling in love with the outdoors. At the age of ten my mother decided to move the family to Naples, Florida. I was rather unsure about the whole move because all of my family was still in Oklahoma. I began school and found many friends, which helped make the move easier. I spend a few years in Florida then decided to move in with my dad for a year back in Oklahoma, where I went to school with my cousins and old friends. That year I played and won the Tulsa baseball tournament, which took us to the state tournament where we place second. I was always a huge fan of playing sports and a die-hard University of Oklahoma football fan. Boomer Sooners!!! A few years after moving back to Florida I began high school at St. John Neumann catholic high school where I ran the high hurdles in track, participated in the swim/diving and golf teams. My senior year of high school I took up and fell in love with ice hockey. I often spend a lot of time at Germain arena practicing and skating with my friends. I decided to go to FGCU so that I can stay close to my family and still get to play hockey with all of my friends that are nearby. I look forward to reading all of your blogs!
Yay an engineering person. I'm doing environmental engineering. What kind are you doing? Also what kind of sports do you like? I love playing baseball/softball. I used to play when I was younger but I can't play anymore because I have bad knees and ankles. I hope to see you in some engineering classes with me. Maybe we can work together if we need any help with anything.
ReplyDeleteWhat position did you play in baseball? Also, if Ovechkin played for the Panthers, would you be a Cats fan?
ReplyDeletei see that you have diabetes do you have a insulin pump the only reason i ask is because one of my best friends back home has one
ReplyDeleteYou seem like you are extremely active and love the outdoors. Also, it seems like you've played competitive sports nearly all your life. My cousin was on a competitive baseball league a few years ago. They ended up winning states and competing in the Little League World Series. I traveled around with my family a lot that season to watch him play. He even hit a home run in one of the World Series games. They lost after a few games but it was awesome to watch him play on tv and everything! Goodluck with hockey this year!
