As football season comes to an end basketball season begins. What a better way to start a season than to come out and stomp your opponent at your first home game.

About the Contributor

Makai Petty, Plume Staff

Makai Petty, a Senior at Capital City High School, is involved in the school’s baseball team. In his free time he likes to go and play golf with his fellow CCHS baseball teammates. Though he may play baseball and golf in his free time his true passion is working with nature, Makai plans on working for NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration). Makai gets his love of nature from his grandfather who used to take him to different wildlife parks and would teach him about different animals and plant life. Makai is not only interested in wildlife, he is also interested in traveling the world. He is somewhat a well traveled person, going to Mexico six times and to the Dominican 3 times. But Makai can’t stay away from his love of wildlife; he begs his family to take snorkeling trips to go look at coral reefs to look at all the life below the water. Makai doesn’t only enjoy wildlife, he also has a strong passion for music. His family and teammates are always in shock when he knows every single word for word that they may play at family gatherings or at baseball games. Makai’s favorite artist is Kanye West, his favorite song being “Through the wire”. Makai considers himself a remotely accomplished person, from how much he has traveled and experienced. Makai’s advice for other students is, “Make memories, you only live once. You might as well make the most of it.
