The Future of Sports Delivered to You by Aaron Ware By: Josh Webb ENGL-336

Aaron Ware is an FSU student and Maryland native. He was born and raised in Springdale, MD and lives with his parents and younger sister. Ever since Aaron was young he’s been a huge sports fan and participant.

Throughout his grade school career he has played basketball, golf, and football. Aaron’s love of sports is evident by his choices in school. He originally wanted to major in pharmacy. But after writing a paper on March Madness for his English comp class his view changed. Aaron said “After I wrote that paper my teacher told me I had a knack for writing, and should consider sports journalism.” Aaron also had the pleasure of working as an intern for the Washington Wizard’s marketing department. He said “It was a really cool experience; I even got to attend the draft party.” The love for sports must run in the family, because his cousin Josh Morgan was scouted from UT to play for the San Francisco 49’ers.

Writing isn’t just a task for Aaron either. He even writes outside of his class work. NBC 4 hosted an essay contest for Black History Month in which he won fourth place. He said, “After winning the contest my essay was published in the newspaper, and I even got to star in a television commercial.” The love and skill of writing runs in his family as well, because his sister was right behind him winning the fifth place spot in the contest.

When Aaron isn’t busy with school reading, video games, and traveling occupy his time. Traveling is a big part of his family life. His family vacations at least once every year. He’s had the opportunity to see some amazing things. Looking back on some of his most memorable vacations he said, “I’ve seen some pretty cool things on our vacations, especially the Basketball Hall of Fame and the Boston Red Sox stadium.” Sporting a Toronto fitted cap he got in that very city; he explained that he’s also been to Canada. So it looks like Aaron is destined for big things. A few years from now when you’re reading Sports Illustrated, watching ESPN, or reading your local sports page there’s a solid chance that Aaron Ware will be bringing you the latest in sports news.
