https://padlet.com/mgovernale1/8exqihdjsrd6 Describe a time where you had to try and do something that you thought was really difficult. Did you succeed? Fail? What did you learn from that experience? en-us 2018-05-29 12:27:01 UTC 2026-01-18 08:24:19 UTC hello@padlet.com mgovernale1 https://padlet.com/mgovernale1/8exqihdjsrd6/wish/264230782 When I was in 8th grade I went on a skiing/snowboarding trip with my school. I fell down the hill face forward the entire time. Half way down, I felt like I was never EVER going to understand snowboarding; that it was IMPOSSIBLE. But I kept trying. I learned that if I tried hard enough, that I could get better. That, and I learned I hate fast sports. ]]> 2018-05-29 12:28:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mgovernale1/8exqihdjsrd6/wish/264230782 https://padlet.com/mgovernale1/8exqihdjsrd6/wish/264237811 Back in elementary school I had to go to speech therapy because I had trouble pronouncing certain words. As time went on I started to get discouraged. But instead I decided to practice nonstop until i succeed. Sometimes I still mess up but overall I'm better. ]]> 2018-05-29 12:52:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mgovernale1/8exqihdjsrd6/wish/264237811 https://padlet.com/mgovernale1/8exqihdjsrd6/wish/264237837 The hardest challenge I´ve ever had to overcome would have to be my 8th grade year when my temper got to be too much for me and these small little 7th grade nasty children tried to fight me in the locker room because I was making jokes with my frenemy and I was acting stupid and defenseless on purpose cause thatś a thing I used to (and still??) do and these disgusting, dusty kids couldn´t mind their own business so they tried to call me out and confront me about my actions like they was in this and so I was talking trash about them in the locker room since theyś gross and they tried to fight jump me with their lil selves but i calmed down because i couldnt get in trouble and get kicked out of NJHS and the moral of the story is to not talk crap about dusty children cause they will pop off on you     ]]> 2018-05-29 12:52:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mgovernale1/8exqihdjsrd6/wish/264237837 nat6092 https://padlet.com/mgovernale1/8exqihdjsrd6/wish/264237856 when I was in the fifth grade, I was not athletic, nor have I ever been. Karyn was supposed to be my friend, but SPOILER ALERT! she wasn't. Alexa, Karyn, and I were going to play basketball, so Alexa went and grabbed the ball for us. Karyn snatched the ball from her hands and asked me if I wanted to play catch. I put my hands up near my torso, and Karyn CHUCKED the ball into my stomach. I was then on the FLOOR with the wind knocked out of me, wheezing and dying. Karyn and Alexa stood there and stared down at me as I gasped for air. I eventually regained oxygen and did not pass out. I failed at being athletic and learned to never trust my friends.]]> 2018-05-29 12:52:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mgovernale1/8exqihdjsrd6/wish/264237856 yukiasena https://padlet.com/mgovernale1/8exqihdjsrd6/wish/264237895 when i was 5/6 my sisters and i and some friends were playing hide and seek, we were running around i got pushed down the stairs and injured myself and one of my sister injured her eyebrow which we thought she lost her eye which didn't and the oldest almost got ran over by a motorcyclist that day we learn that we should be careless, since that day i never played hide and seek]]> 2018-05-29 12:52:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mgovernale1/8exqihdjsrd6/wish/264237895 bbossous https://padlet.com/mgovernale1/8exqihdjsrd6/wish/264238032 When I was 7 I was overconfident and believed that I could swim without any lessons, and when I went to my cousin's summer party I just jumped in the pool and almost drowned.
