Hello, my name is Nick Scarfo. I am from Londonderry, NH, which is about forty five minutes from Boston and about an hour and a half away from UNE. I graduated from Londonderry High School, where I was involved in a lot of sports and clubs in the school. I played football for all four years, and one god awful year of baseball. I was also the Sports Editor of my school’s newspaper, The Lancer Spirit, and a member of a community service club called Pay It Forward, and my school’s Athletic Leadership Council. Here at UNE, I am a Communications major, and I am a member of the football team as well. I hope to one day get into sports journalism, and join community service clubs here at UNE. Along with playing football, I love watching sports. I am a huge Boston sports fan, and my favorite college team is the Texas Longhorns. I also like to workout, and spend time outdoors. I am excited about this blog and I look forward to seeing what the future holds for me here at UNE.
Nick,
Your website looks like it’s off to a good start. Please consider switching your theme to something a little more manageable like Hemingway or Twenty Eleven. This is your choice, however.
I DO want you to post your About Me text as a PAGE versus a POST. Here is a tutorial that can help you identify the differences: http://uneportfolio.org/help/posts-vs-pages/. I am also available if you prefer.
4/5
One last thing: I think it’s super cool that you are interested in sports writing. I hope that you are able to tie some of your interests into our class conversations and texts!
