Spring Brake

hello :)
well i left for spring brake on Friday the 13 of March. i catched a ride down Pheonix with my roomate and some team mates. As i got back in Oakland my dad was waiting for me to cook for him and so i did for the whole week. I had fun at home, I was happy to spend time with my little sister and the family. The food was always great and lots of it. So basically what i did was just chill at home with my family, friends and work out. The interest thing that happen to me was that i went to San Francisco to my cousins shop and got some cool clothes all for free.

Rugby Game

On 3/8/08 it was the first time i ever step back on a rugby field. I was
full of excitement because i haven't played rugby since last two years due
to football. But on this Saturday i was given a chance to play fot the NAU Sharks
B team, which was alot of fun. Not playing rugby for two years kind made
me nervous. But when that first tackle came and i made it, calm me down. Not long in the
game, like about five minutes, and i made the first try,( which was a touchdown in football).
When i got the ball i juked the first man i see, then stiff arm the second dude i see, and
carry to people in the try zone where i put the ball down and we were up by 7. The
opponents strike back fast. And then i came up with a breakaway that resulted into
another try ended up 14-7. Second half came and i was out of it couldnt feel my legs, and out of shape.
Not like football where we have time outs and pauses. No rugby went for 40 minutes non
stop, and the only brake youll get was when the ball goes outter bounce and penalties which were not many. The
opponents came back and won by touchdown but i wasnt up set because i was having fun.
Even though we lost but i was glad that I got to play my first sport again. Well we are playing
again two weeks after spring break. Everyone is welcome, if you want to watch let me know
and tell you directions. I promise those who never seen a rugby game, it will be a good experience.

sorry guys

Ey im back sorry for not posting anything for the last two weeks. But now im back
ha ha. well heres my story for the day. I woke up at 5:45 to go to football practice
and instead of running which we always do. We played
dodge ball which got everybody excited. We were divided into four teams, and then
we started. My team went first and lost. Then up again and lost again. After the
tournment we ended as the team with most losses. But everything was good, and everyone
in the team had a good time.

From Rugby to Football.

Well as I start by why I am doing this. It's an assignment for my English class which I
take as a fun assignment that I can use to tell those who are out there about my carrier
of being an athlete. Born and raised in the Island of Samoa where Rugby is the dominant sport
was a blast exprience in my life. Where you know that not every one can play a contact sport
with out pads. As I grew up, Rugby was already in the family. My father and uncles played for my country's
national team in the 70's, and my older sister played for my country's women national team. Then
it came down to my brother and cousins and then myself playing the sport that we loved.

In 2004, I moved from the homeland and into the United States. I started to learn how to play
a new sport. American Football. Coming from a rugby backround it wasn't so hard when my coach told me
"go get the person with ball," where it was easy from a linebackers point of view. But still the concepts of the
two sports have a little bit of the similarities but a lot of differences. As I spent two years learning the new
sport at Berkeley High School I was fortunately blessed by the Lord with a full scholarship to play American
Football at Northern Arizona University.
