On Wednesday February 19, 2014 a few of Ladue High School's senior athletes signed to play sports at different colleges. When I first heard about the opportunity to film this, I didn't hesitate to take control. I could not make it to the signing last year and was kind of upset. This year, not only was it cool to see some of the seniors and where they were going, but whom as well. I am currently a junior in high school, so I've been here for three years. I know a lot of people, but not as well as I thought. One girl who was in my photography class freshman year signed to participate in Fencing. I had no clue that she even played a sport so that was cool to see. We had two Rowers that signed, and I feel like that sport is becoming a lot more popular in high school and college. One of my soccer teammates signed to play soccer at Washington University. We always joked about how she should play soccer and we never got a definite answer, so we are really proud and happy for her.The coaches also spoke, and in their one to two minute speeches you could defiantly hear how proud they were of each athlete and only wanted the best for them. I am hoping to play soccer in college one day, I don't know if I'll sign, play as a walk on, or do it as inter mural, but it will defiantly be interesting to see where different sports take myself and my peers.
