In my past time, I like to help around and play with my guitar and exercise.]]> 2016-12-12 05:13:03 UTC https://padlet.com/372528/64ljjb98i8ei/wish/143040359 372528 https://padlet.com/372528/64ljjb98i8ei/wish/143040480 I was home schooled all my life before I came to Orange High School. One of the things that interested me the most was the sports they offered, and I participated in cross country and track and field in my freshman year. Going to sophomore year, I decided to join water polo. As soon as I stepped foot to the pool deck, I immediately fell in love with the sport. Water polo has made a huge impact in my life since it taught me discipline, and changed the way I think for the best. I plan doing water polo for the rest of my remaining high school years, and also interested in playing in college as well. ]]> 2016-12-12 05:17:45 UTC https://padlet.com/372528/64ljjb98i8ei/wish/143040480 372528 https://padlet.com/372528/64ljjb98i8ei/wish/143040975 A couple years back, I was going through personal problems and everything seemed so distant to me where to the point I felt alone. I felt like I needed to find something to get my mind into, and to ignore negativity around me. I wanted to learn how to play an instrument, so I bought myself a acoustic Rogue guitar. I originally wanted a drum set, but I started getting better at the guitar so I just stuck with it. Up to this day, the guitar has been a special hobby for me since it has got me through so many obstacles I faced throughout these past years. Playing with the guitar has always been something I've been doing so I can distract myself, and has taught me how to think better and clearer since I am always thinking what chords may go with the rhythm of whatever it is I am playing. ]]> 2016-12-12 05:33:46 UTC https://padlet.com/372528/64ljjb98i8ei/wish/143040975 372528 https://padlet.com/372528/64ljjb98i8ei/wish/143041308 I've always loved reading comic books. Comic books inspired me a lot growing up and it still inspires me today. Reading about these fictional characters has made me believe that you can work hard, and receive a successful outcome. My favorite superhero has to be Daredevil since he doesn't have a superpower, but he still manages to fight crime. Oh, and he's blind... he's also a lawyer. ]]> 2016-12-12 05:46:25 UTC https://padlet.com/372528/64ljjb98i8ei/wish/143041308 372528 https://padlet.com/372528/64ljjb98i8ei/wish/143041560 I love food, usually during the summer, my dad teaches me how to cook a variety of dishes. Cooking has been a recent past time for me after school since I have to prepare lunch for the next day. Slowly, I've been learning how to cook, and I plan taking cooking classes later on in life. My goal is to cook a meal for a holiday for the whole family, like a lasagna. ]]> 2016-12-12 05:53:55 UTC https://padlet.com/372528/64ljjb98i8ei/wish/143041560 372528 https://padlet.com/372528/64ljjb98i8ei/wish/143042339 Back in 2012, I was marked 'obese' and was very overweight. I blame everyone except myself for my appearance, so I decided to make a change. I joined this boxing club in Santa Ana, Ca, and started my weight loss journey in 2013-2015. Boxing had been a very huge impact in my life during that time and I will never forget that sport. I plan going back in the future to coach. ]]> 2016-12-12 06:14:18 UTC https://padlet.com/372528/64ljjb98i8ei/wish/143042339 372528 https://padlet.com/372528/64ljjb98i8ei/wish/143042542 The video I chose was Stressed Out from the duo Twenty One Pilots. This song is important to me because it represents how sometimes in life we have to do things, but we wish it could be easier. The part where the song says "wish we can turn back time, to the old days, when our mamas sang us to sleep and now we're stressed out." just means when we we are young we don't have to worry about anything but as we get older we start to discover how responsibilities are like, and life starts preparing us for adulthood.  This song motivates me to keep doing better in school so I can become someone one day, and I won't have to worry about struggling in my life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXRviuL6vMY]]> 2016-12-12 06:20:54 UTC https://padlet.com/372528/64ljjb98i8ei/wish/143042542 372528 https://padlet.com/372528/64ljjb98i8ei/wish/143042910 My favorite quote that inspires is from Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt.

 "Don't think about the start of the race, think about the ending." - Usain Bolt 

Reason why this quote inspires me is because if you're doing something, and you feel like you're going nowhere, you shouldn't feel that way. You should be passionate about your goals and achievements, and never to give up. Always to keep negativity aside, and always to welcome positive things. In the start it will feel slow, and will seem like a long process, but in the end, it will pay off.]]> 2016-12-12 06:31:25 UTC https://padlet.com/372528/64ljjb98i8ei/wish/143042910 372528 https://padlet.com/372528/64ljjb98i8ei/wish/143043204 My parents are both from Mexico, and so are the rest of my family members. The newer generation of siblings I have were born in the United States, but we still have traditions every now and then to remind us of our roots and where we came from. I am proud of my roots! ]]> 2016-12-12 06:38:14 UTC https://padlet.com/372528/64ljjb98i8ei/wish/143043204 372528 https://padlet.com/372528/64ljjb98i8ei/wish/143043341 After high school, I plan to attend Chapman University and after going to law school to become a lawyer. ]]> 2016-12-12 06:41:45 UTC https://padlet.com/372528/64ljjb98i8ei/wish/143043341
