Hello there, my name is Charles Erker. I am writing this blog to help you, my classmates, get to know me a little better. Now, there really isn't a whole lot to know about me, but here it goes. I currently live in Omaha, Nebraska, and I'm a sophomore at Creighton Prep. I recently turned 16, so the roads just got a little more dangerous. My hobbies include sitting around and watching television, but I don't know if that really counts. I like to keep up to date on the news and on sports, but mainly sports. I like to follow a variety of sports, football, baseball, basketball, and soccer to name a few, although I am an avid fan of bobsledding. Of all my favorite teams in all these sports, without a doubt, Husker Football is my favorite. For a few months a year in the fall, it dictates my mood a little more than it should. It pains me to hear about the days of old, when Husker Football was relevant. If I die having not seen Nebraska win a national championship in football, I won't have lived a complete life.

Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, the greatest place on Earth.

Now, enough of that sports stuff, I am a multi-faceted person. I also enjoy going new places quite a lot. In my 16 years, the most notable places I've been to are St. John in the Virgin Islands, Florida (a few times) and Boston. I've also been to St. Louis about forty times, so that isn't really new anymore. I hope to be able to travel more when I am older. I would love to be able to visit our National Parks, especially the Grand Canyon and Yosemite. 

Well, I have spent the last ten minutes trying to think of something more to say, but my efforts have been fruitless, so I'm out. Until next time, God Bless you, and the US of A.
