Lexi Rohrbach, Freshman

Hi! Well, I'm Lexi. I'm from Tiffin, Ohio and I went to Columbian High School. I played volleyball and basketball and I ran track. My family and friends are a big part of my life because I am definitely a people person. My family is just me, my mom, and my brother, but it doesn't seem that small because the rest of my family lives around us too. My mom's name is Becky and we are really close. She was my volleyball coach so I saw her pretty much all day everyday during volleyball season. My brother's name is Michael and he's a sophomore in high school. He's into sports just as much as I am. My Aunt Debbie and Uncle David are a big part of my life, too. About a year and a half ago my dad passed away so they became like my extended family after that. I really don't know what I would do if they weren't a part of my life. They plan on coming to a lot of games so I'm sure you'll meet them at some point. For fun I like to just hang out with friends and I usually get into really random situations. If I had to describe myself I would just say fun and random. I'm a really open person so if anyone wants to know anything you just have to ask me.

Pics: Ok, I don't know what order they are going to be in, but here it goes. The 1st pic is me and my friend with headlamps we found in her barn. We were going to adventure into the woods in the middle of the night but we chickened out haha. The 2nd pic is me, my mom, my Aunt Debbie, and my Uncle David on the beach in North Carolina. The 3rd pic is me and my mom and the last one is me and my brother cleaning out the warehouse that my family owns.

Melissa Hoffbauer :)(:

Hi everybody!!! My name is Melissa Hoffbauer and I am a Freshman here at Baldwin Wallace this year :). I am double majoring in Pre-Physical Therapy and Athletic training with the goal of one day becoming a licensed Physical Therapist! I am from super small town called New Washington and I went to an even smaller high school where I graduated with a class of 48!!! BW is definitely different than my hometown because where I live if 4 cars went down my road a day that was a lot of traffic to me ha. One of the pictures is of my classmates and I in our snow days shirts which was a little project a few of us seniors at Buckeye worked on to question why our school board was the first to get rid of all calamity days in a school year! The teachers and students all got involved and we got like a ton of publicity numerous articles including one in the Columbus Dispatch! It was awesome! :) One of the others is of me and my little cousin Lyric he is my little buddy I spent quite a bit of babysitting him this summer! Also in the two other pictures we made a hugeee slip and slide and found a mud slide haha enough said :)! So pretty much from that you can see most of my spare when I wasnt in school or playing basketball ;) I was with my friends and family! Well we are all at BW now and starting open gym on Thursday so Im pumpedddddd! See you all then! =]

Victoria Brown! =)

Hiii! so my name is Victoria and i am going to be a freshmen and I'm going undecided but i think i want to go into education. I went to Western Reserve high school in Berlin Center, Ohio where there is one stop light and two gas stations and then nothing! My summer has consisted of hanging out with my friends, babysitting my cousins the two boys on the left, and the girl on the right of me, in the picture which is from my great grandmas 85th birthday I'm in the blue, and working out with one of my friends who is going to be playing volleyball in college.The other picture is of me and my friends who just went to the beach in Delaware for a long weekend. My parents are Shannon and Jennifer (or as most call her jbrown). I have a sister named Kristiana she will be a senior at BW this year she's in the bottom picture to the left of me. I have an obsession with Rajon Rondo (Celtics in case you didn't know!) and Reggie Bush(Saints) . I'm pretty excited to be starting school but kind of sad that summer has gone by so fast i can't wait to meet you all! See you in a week! :)

Kristen Troyer

Hi everyone :) My name is Kristen Troyer and I'll be a freshman this year. I went to Garaway High School, located in Sugarcreek, Ohio, better known as "amish country." I'm majoring in Early Childhood Education. My summer has pretty much consisted of working, working out and playing, and hanging out with friends and family. The picture is of my sister Katie and I at my favorite place ever, the beach! :) My parents are Bob and Amy and I have a brother Jake, who will be a junior in high school and Katie or "Bug" will be an 8th grader. Umm some things about me..I'm a very competitive person, I hate losing more than I love winning! I'm a very independent person. Some of my favorite things are shopping, ice cream, coffee, the sun, and of course basketball. I've been ready to go to college for like 3 years now! I'm so excited it's finally here and I can't wait to meet all my new teammates! See you guys in a few days :)

Hi there :)

^^Top: some sophomore teammates and me trying to dance on senior night. we were terrible needless to say. Bottom:me and my adorable little sister (who wants to be a yellow jacket already haha )

Hellooooo. My name Is Jessica Lairson and I will be a freshman at BW this year. All I can say after meeting some of the girls at open gyms and orientation [Lizzie (= haha] is that I am really excited to get to know all of you and even more so for basketball to start!I'm from Louisville, OH.... pronounced "lewisville", but all the wayuntil 8th grade I grew up in the huge city of Crown Point, a suburb about 35 minutes from chicago. So yes I love the Bulls, Blackhawks, Bears, and White Sox! I am a very competetive person and I hate to lose at just about anything you can think of. My summer has pretty much consisted of working full time as a waitress at this little bar/grill place, which my last day of work was actually today! SO with one week til school starts (and my bday!) I'm finally able to relax a little :) I love meeting new people but admittedly, I'm still a little intimidated. See you all soon!

<----My sister kayla and me at six flags in dallas (im on the left)

Hey everyone!

For those of you that don't know me my name is rachel and i'll be a sophomore this year. I'm from Olmsted Falls ohio which is right down the street from bw...but i still live on campus. I'm really excited to move back in a couple weeks!! I've been busy this whole summer. I work five days a week at dairy queen and get to wear a very attractive head set (that monica and catherine love). Besides working i have been working out and i have traveled to two different 3 on 3 tournaments in pennsylvania. Also, I went to dallas with my sister for a chance to win her a brand new car...the whole trip was paid for and so was our six flags trip, a tour of the cowboys stadium (sorry jess) and a tour of the mavericks stadium!! Every night we went out to a 5 star restaurant without a money limit. My last trip for the summer was to durham, north carolina. I went with three friends... jen (my roomate this year) and 2 other girls i played aau with. we visited our friend shay who plays basketball for duke. So...other things you should know about i have 3 sisters...elise, sarah and kayla who plays for mount union (last year was her first but she is actually 2 years older than me). My other 2 sisters are 22 and 25 so i am closest with kayla. My parents are Mark and Mary who know everything about basketball (like every other parent). My mom asks me about every person who blogs and keeps asking when i was so... hi mom. But thats about it for now and i hope everyone enjoys there last few weeks of summer vacation! see you all soon
