Vanguard High School and University of South Florida graduate Jessica Dickson is playing professional basketball in Croatia. Here is her latest blog entry.

Oh wow! It's been a while since my last blog but I have been very busy. Our team has been doing very well - we actually have won the Adriatic League championship as well as the Croatian Cup championship. Both were big victories for the team as well as the city of sibenik. There was a big celebration and dinner after winning the Croatian Cup. I was dancing and enjoying the festivities of their culture. I had loads of fun! It was great!

I have been really happy as of late because my mom is over visiting me. She arrived April 4. I was so excited to see her when she arrived. She has been enjoying herself, getting the chance to experience a different culture and atmosphere. We have been spending time sightseeing and drinking lattes by the sea. It's been fun for her. She has really enjoyed the experience.

Our team is actually getting ready to play in the Croatian League playoffs and championship. We are projected to win all the marbles ha ha. So I'm excited about coming home a champion. Well until next time take care and God bless! 

P.S. I have enclosed some pics of our Adriatic League championship game, as well as pics of me and my mother here in Croatia sightseeing. The pic with me in the orange cap is actually a traditonal Croatian hat. Pretty cool. Hope you enjoy the pictures.
