HELLO EVERYONE!!!  Thought Id tell you a bit about myself so you can understand why I am going to be writing all these blogs on surfing!  My name is Catie Wolf and I am a sophomore at Lynn University.  I am taking the Blogosphere Identity class with Professor Carrie Simpson.  She instructed our whole class to pick a goal we have in life and to work on accomplishing it throughout the course!  While we do this goal, we also have to blog about it week by week.  I have never blogged in my whole life so this is rather new to me.

I have ALWAYS wanted to learn how to surf.  When I was very little I used to watch Rocket Power and all of my favorite episodes were the surfing ones.  I used to think it was so neat that the characters from Rocket Power lived so close to the beach and that they were so good at surfing.  Every time id take a vacation with my family to the beach, my dad would always get my brother and me a boogie board.  Id always try to stand on it like a surf board but it would always flop out from under me.
I was in my sophomore year of high school when my brother started college at Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne FL.  His college was so close to the ocean that he was able to get out and learn how to surf.  I have always looked up to my brother so the fact that he learned how to surf made me want to learn how to surf that much more.

When I first came to Lynn University last year I was so excited that I lived so close to the ocean.  Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to learn how to surf last year.  I didn't really know anyone who had a board that  I could use, and no one offered to give me lessons or to teach me.  Also, I did not own a board so I couldn't even go out by myself to try and teach myself. However, the Blogosphere Identity class has given me a great opportunity!  I met a girl named Lizzie in my class that offered to give surfing lessons to anyone who wanted it.  So... I IMMEDIATELY told her i was interested and gave her my number.  So now I am going to fulfill one of my life goals.  I am going to learn how to surf!
