My family and I went to a water park one day. I was so excited that I got out of the car before all of my other family members. ]]> 2018-09-13 16:30:15 UTC https://padlet.com/s071325/aavwa95steib/wish/280934783 s071325 https://padlet.com/s071325/aavwa95steib/wish/280957351 While I was running to the water park, I noticed a flight of three steps in front of which was in the direction of the water park. Because I was so excited, I had this "brilliant" idea to jump over those step instead of walking down them slowly like normal people. I ended up landing on my ankle instead of the sole of my shoe. ]]> 2018-09-13 17:09:39 UTC https://padlet.com/s071325/aavwa95steib/wish/280957351 s071325 https://padlet.com/s071325/aavwa95steib/wish/280960961 A day passed by after my fall, and I could not walk or take the pain anymore. My parents took me to the hospital to see if my injury was serious. It turns out my ankle was broken. I ended up walking around in crutches for I think 6 months. This was my first experience of physical pain I think. This was life changing because it showed me how hard it is to transition to walking normally to walking with crutches. This influenced my personality to be more cautious, and take things more seriously. ]]> 2018-09-13 17:16:40 UTC https://padlet.com/s071325/aavwa95steib/wish/280960961 s071325 https://padlet.com/s071325/aavwa95steib/wish/281389134 I was around 7 years old when I tried to ride my bike without training wheels. I almost fell the first time. Then eventually, I was finally riding with no training wheels!]]> 2018-09-14 16:05:00 UTC https://padlet.com/s071325/aavwa95steib/wish/281389134 s071325 https://padlet.com/s071325/aavwa95steib/wish/281393392 I was in 6th grade when I joined orchestra. Orchestra was a blast for me. It was so much fun, and I learned how to appreciate music in a whole new way. Orchestra affected my personality because it made me more aware of my surroundings which makes me more cautious. I say this because orchestra requires for everyone to be listening to each other while playing.  ]]> 2018-09-14 16:13:01 UTC https://padlet.com/s071325/aavwa95steib/wish/281393392 s071325 https://padlet.com/s071325/aavwa95steib/wish/281398222 When I was in 6th and 7th grade, I joined the Franklin Bulldogs wrestling team. This affected me tremendously because it physically disciplined me.]]> 2018-09-14 16:21:08 UTC https://padlet.com/s071325/aavwa95steib/wish/281398222 s071325 https://padlet.com/s071325/aavwa95steib/wish/281400160 I was in 8th grade when I really got into Christianity. This affected me tremendously because it disciplined me mentally. ]]> 2018-09-14 16:24:21 UTC https://padlet.com/s071325/aavwa95steib/wish/281400160 s071325 https://padlet.com/s071325/aavwa95steib/wish/281404438 I was playing knock out with some other kids in the neighborhood when a girl sneaked up on me right when I was about to shoot the basketball to pull down my shorts. I was actually okay with her pulling down my shorts, but the thing I was not okay with, was she did it on the day I was not wearing undergarments. All the kids there saw it too. So this affected my personality a lot because it made me more self- conscious. ]]> 2018-09-14 16:32:13 UTC https://padlet.com/s071325/aavwa95steib/wish/281404438 s071325 https://padlet.com/s071325/aavwa95steib/wish/282487235 I had such an insightful year in my junior English class last year. Mostly because of the books we read that year. After we read the books, we would discuss about them in depth. ]]> 2018-09-17 17:29:13 UTC https://padlet.com/s071325/aavwa95steib/wish/282487235 s071325 https://padlet.com/s071325/aavwa95steib/wish/282487271 This was when I took speech class my sophomore year. This made me more self-conscious of my words when I speak.]]> 2018-09-17 17:29:15 UTC https://padlet.com/s071325/aavwa95steib/wish/282487271
