As they finish their senior year at Portage Northern and prepare to head to the University of Akron to play volleyball together this fall, there's one very important issue that Laura and Maddie McDonnell, both 18, will have to settle. The twin sisters currently share a cell phone with a plan that doesn't end until December, almost five months after they arrive on campus. ``Usually we're together so it works out,'' Maddie said. ``But when we go out to different places one will think the other is going to take it and the other thinks the same thing so sometimes (the phone) ends up being left at home.'' Maddie said there's nothing to worry about, though, because the two sisters teamed up to work it out with their parents to get separate phones for college. It's that togetherness that has led to their life-long dreams of playing in Division I as walk-ons at Akron.

If only we had more people from our own city raised to have dreams of playing for UA.

List of Homer Simpson's lifelong dreamsHomer is a man of many lifelong dreams which he frequently quotes during the series. Each dream is different from his previous dream, and his wife, Marge, points out every time he makes up a new one that his actual life long dream, which also varies from episode to episode, was already accomplished by him.- Managing a beautiful country-western singer ("Colonel Homer")- Eating the world's biggest hoagie ("Colonel Homer")- Living in the wilderness, while keeping a journal of his thoughts ("Marge Gets a Job")- Becoming a monorail conductor ("Marge vs. the Monorail")- Being allowed to do his job from home ("King-Size Homer")- Being the next Thomas Edison ("The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace"; ironically fulfilled when his electric hammer is credited to Edison)- Becoming a hippie ("D'oh-in in the Wind")- Bowling a perfect game ("Hello Gutter, Hello Fadder")- Seeing Stevie Nicks naked ("Hello Gutter, Hello Fadder"; his list of life goals has three check marks next to this one)

``A couple months ago we determined we wanted to go to school together,'' she said. ``We felt that was important.''When Ron Arenz was named Akron's new volleyball coach in February, the two sisters said it was pretty much set they were going there.``(Arenz) looked at us both and we couldn't really say no,'' Maddie said. ``Our eighth-grade year he was one of our club coaches and we were able to practice with him.''Laura was also excited when she saw how Arenz handled his team when they went to visit this spring.

after meeting arenz myself i'm excited to see how volleyball does this season. seems like a really good guy and the team seems to have responded well to him.also, being out of state walk-ons... man that's going to be one hell of a bill for the parents. out of state tuition is more than double in state tuition, then times that by two people :blink:
