When i first got it thought i could easily start shredding and play "For the love of god" by Steve Vai. I thought i didn't need to learn how to read music and put off music theory or practice scales. After many failures trying to skip over the basics i began to feel like giving up until i went to a local guitar instructor at a teen center I then realized how much learning all this was helping improving my playing and my free styling. I was now able to make something out of nothing and come up with my own original pieces and songs.  i regret ignoring all of this stuff and actually took the time to learn it on my own i would have probably already have been at the level i wanted to be by now.  

How dose this example relate to my theme?

This relates to my theme because in this example i neglected to do the essential stuff to learn before getting on to the advanced stuff to get to where i wanted to be at.

I thought if i did this i would eventually be able to start reading fluently and get to the reading level i was supposed to be at. Nothing good came out of what i had done in fact it made me more stressed and maybe even set me back a little. Every time i did i felt like i was reading a book that was in a whole different language i kept on seeing vocabulary i have never even heard of before. My teacher pointed out that i was going way ahead of what i should be and that i needed to take it slow and get up to where i need to be. My teacher gave after school tutoring which lasted the whole school year. It was only until the final month of school that i was able to read at the level i was supposed to and because of the amazing teacher i had at the time he prepared me to read above the level i was supposed to. For the final award ceremony my reading skills got recognized and that was the first ever reward i had ever gotten in school.    

How dose this example relate to my theme 

This relates to my theme because while i was struggling to read i skipped over the books i needed to read to progress to level i need to be at in order to pass my class and instead read books that way above my level without realizing the harm it would do. ]]> 2021-08-17 14:55:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jalvarez1061/5cfruug61vze9p83/wish/1682307012 jalvarez1061 https://padlet.com/jalvarez1061/5cfruug61vze9p83/wish/1682357740 There was this one incident where i had gotten a really bad workout injury because my ego got the best of me. i was at the gym with my dad and i was doing pull ups and working my way towards weighted pull ups. At the time i was tired of being skinny i wanted to put on a bit of weight. I ended making the dumb mistake of adding 25 extra pounds on a weight vest instead of 10 like my dad suggested. I started doing the pull ups and already i could tell i was not ready for this i felt extreme pain in my body and joints. I have never felt pain like this i felt my back and shoulders aching like hell. Until i finally had enough i got off the bar and could hardly move my shoulders. i went to the doctor and had gotten shoulder impingement and i had to recover for almost a year i took physical therapy and stopped working out during my recovery which also made loose the little progress i made.  

How dose this example relate to my theme?

This example relates to my theme because i had my ego get the best of me and went way over the recommended pounds i should have added on the weight vest. Which ended up giving me an injury and took time to recover which also set me back and lost some progress, ]]> 2021-08-17 15:20:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jalvarez1061/5cfruug61vze9p83/wish/1682357740
