I have a decent size family. I live with my parents, Jim and Marian, and my twin sister, Molly. I have two brothers in school, Danny, who attends the University of Iowa, and Jimmy, who is at graduate school at Marquette University. I am involved with track and ping-pong club. I do the hurdle events in track. Used to hate those hurdles, but I am starting to enjoy them now. Also, this year, I will be president of ping-pong club. That doesn't mean I am very good at ping-pong though, I was just appointed president. Also I might get involved in the business club.
Also, I have two jobs at the moment. I work the counter at a local pizza place called Tre Amici pizza, and I also teach sports to children at the YMCA. If your ever around those two places, look for me. I really enjoy music. I am listening to it right now actually. My favorite artists would have to be Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews Band, and Dispatch.
One of the main reasons I am in AP Language and Composition is because it looks good on college resumes. I will be honest, I am not overly excited by this class, but I am hoping it will be better then planned. (Sorry Mrs. Gerber.)
Now, about the slogan, I bet I can find a better one for myself, but I didn't see one in class, and this one is just fine. The reason I picked this one is because, when I get determined to accomplish something or very passionate about something, I usually finish the job quickly and skillfully. For instance, I started getting very excited about track midway through the season last year. I worked hard in practice, taking advice from all the coaches and applying it. By the end of the year, I had lowered my personal bests by almost two seconds, which is a considerable margin.
That is Joe Calhoun in a nutshell. Have a good day. I'll see you all tomorrow

So I guess the big question is, "Will this job of yours be able to hook a class up with some pizza?!"
I did not know you were the president of ping-pong club. That's sweet!
i think it's very cool that you listen to your coach and use his advice to get better
Dang, hurdles are insane how do you do that? ping-pong is pretty sweet though.I admire your determination in track too. see ya.
I agree that ping-pong (table tennis) is awesome. One of my friends does hurdles too, and he showed me how its done. Its hard; good job on that.
First of all, thank goodness you wrote the first blog because otherwise I bet we all would have had no idea where to start. I admire your dedication to both of your activities. It seems your honesty and leadership always shine through whatever task you start.
