This is a log I've been excited to start. The log will be in two languages, Somali and English. Note: This style was inspired from an earlier log. It was also inspired by the movie "Captain Phillips".

Hello. My name is Dioner Dzokav. I was drafted to the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2007. My life was never easy. I was captured and forced into piracy at age 11. Luckily, I was brought to America by a naval captain. In America, I fell in love with baseball. I instantly knew I could become a professional. Every day I woke up at 4 AM to train. In 2003, I received a full college scholarship to Florida. I wasn't heavily scouted in college. I nearly gave up. I still worked my hardest. I was drafted in the 5th round to Arizona. I will continue to work hard.

So when he first shows up to camp, will he tell the manager "Look at me. Look at me. I am the captain now."?

That would be pretty cool.

Oo dhan qolka tumashada buu. Nolosheyda oo dhan laga filaayo korinta sharciyeeysan. ahaa hareeree ay kuraasta. Waxay ahayd tan shanaad wareegay 2007. Waxay Nimid Arizoona Diamondbacks soo. Iska tusay sida maan gacmaha ma soo taagaa marka. , Telefoon kornay. GM-ii sheegay waxaan ugu cusub ka mid ah xubnaha D-. ESPN Ku Saabsan, dhuun daloola hadlay aan sheeko la ka badan ee caanka ahaa ee ka. Laakiin waxaan doonaa uu cadeeyo oo wada ka dawdaran.

The whole room was anxious. My whole adoptive family was on the edge of their seats. It was the fifth round of the 2007 Draft. The Arizona Diamondbacks were on the clock. It seemed like I wouldn't be picked. Then, the phone rang. The GM told me that I was the newest member of the D-backs. On ESPN, the analysts talked about how my story would be more famous than me. But I will prove them all wrong.

My agent gave me a place to live. He told me I was his last chance in this business. His last client was killed in a tragic shooting. He gave me powerin and explained to me how the MLB works.

AAN la kulmay maamulaha kooxda Ka dhaadhacsiiyey noo ku dhaqanka jadwalka iyo sida si sax tababaro. WAXAAN kaloo la kulmay Oakley, 23 jir rookie. Waxaan ka yeellay sharatan ruuxii ka yeelay MLB ugu heli lahayd casho ka loser. Ka Dib ayey tababare ila hadlay.
Tababare Si Wanaagsan Ugu: rookies, na tus aad heshay!
I: Tababare, waxaan u baahan tahay sababta keentay dilaka. La Siiyo, waayo-aragnimo ku dhamme keliya u ii uu hoggaamiyo.
Tababare: Maya, Dioner. Inaad horteed kaga caddaaday naftaada weli
I: Bal Eeg oo ku. Bal Eeg, WAXAAN ahay dhamme.
Tababare: Bal Eeg, ku soo doontaa dhamme ku xigta.

2/18/2008
I met the manager of the team. He explained to us the practice schedule and how to properly train. I also met Oakley, a 23 year old rookie. We made a bet that whoever made the MLB first would get dinner from the loser. Later, the coach spoke to me.
Coach: Well rookies, show us what you got!
Me: Coach, we need a captain. Given my experience of being a captain it is only right for me to lead.
Coach: No, Dioner. You haven't proven yourself yet.
Me: Look at me. Look at me. I'm the captain now.
Coach: Look son, put in the work and you'll be captain next year.

2/25/2008
Coach gave me my number, 070. Strange indeed. 3 digits?! I worked on contact in practice. Then, Mia from Power Pros Sports came to do an interview. She is very cute, but she is extremely unorganized. She literally asked me if I expected to lead the league in wins!! Are you kidding me?
