Autobiography

    Blake Potter, 19, from Jacksboro Tenn. is a sophomore baseball player at the University of the Cumberlands. He is a communication major with a minor in journalism. He is also looking to get his masters in communication.         

            Blake’s family history can be to be traced back to a cousin named Jessie James. With a wild relative like that it’s only right that he likes movies like “The Fighter” and “The Taking of Pelham 123." Although train robbing is out of the question, writing about them is a different story. Blake is taking journalism to enhance his writing skills and become a better journalist.

            Becoming a sports broadcaster or sports reporter is a dream he has had recently and is willing to work hard to acheive it. Studying these things makes it only fitting that his favorite magazine is ESPN because of its sports coverage.

            Two books that changed the way he saw the world were “Beyond Belief” by Josh Hamilton and “Mind Gym” by David Casstevens, both motivational books about athletes. Music is also something that Blake enjoys and the latest songs he downloaded are “Right Above It” and “ 6 foot 7 foot by Lil Wayne, and “Mojo So Dope” by Kid Cudi.

            At Campbell County High School on November 8, 2005, a boy brought a gun to school and shot three principles killing one. Blake was a freshman in high school at Campbell County. Blake knew all three principles rather well and took the event hard along with everyone else in the county. During these hard times the community came together and showed him that the power of love can heal alot of hurt.
