- People are always going to judge you so stay true to yourself
- Who probably don't know who you are yet, there is no rush.
-You become who you surround yourself with, so don't befriend someone for superficial reasons.]]> 2017-05-14 21:48:41 UTC https://padlet.com/merinmcdermott/b5cw0tqxd8zy/wish/171709264 #2 Think back to your freshmen year, what were 3 goals you had? merinmcdermott https://padlet.com/merinmcdermott/b5cw0tqxd8zy/wish/171709554 Be true to myself, don't try to be a follower, don't ever put other's down to make yourself higher. 
a) Did I achieve them? yes
b) What obstacles did I go through? Lost a lot of friends but gained a lot of more friends.
c)Any regrets? Losing friends because I didn't agree with them but at the same time. I didn't want to agree with someone that wasn't making others feel good about themselves.

People judge so quickly and I feel like everyone follows the crowd. Nobody speaks up when someone is bullying someone else, laughing at someone else, or saying something mean about someone in a group chat. They just add to the fire.]]> 2017-05-14 22:04:06 UTC https://padlet.com/merinmcdermott/b5cw0tqxd8zy/wish/171710192 #4 What surprises you most about people around the world? merinmcdermott https://padlet.com/merinmcdermott/b5cw0tqxd8zy/wish/171710492 What surprises me about people now a days is how much people care. People genuinely care you just have to find the right people and the right crowd to take care of you.]]> 2017-05-14 22:10:05 UTC https://padlet.com/merinmcdermott/b5cw0tqxd8zy/wish/171710492 #5 Do you think that your schooling K-12 has prepared you for life beyond GHS? Explain. merinmcdermott https://padlet.com/merinmcdermott/b5cw0tqxd8zy/wish/171710727 I personally think everyday is shaping you to who you are and who you are becoming. Everyday is preparing you for the future and I think Grandville High School has greatly prepared me for the best and for the worst that comes ahead in the long run and how to handle those situations.]]> 2017-05-14 22:13:53 UTC https://padlet.com/merinmcdermott/b5cw0tqxd8zy/wish/171710727 #6 What have you learned throughout your schooling that you plan on helping you in the future? merinmcdermott https://padlet.com/merinmcdermott/b5cw0tqxd8zy/wish/171711724 I have learned that if you stay true to yourself, everything kinds of just gets put together on its own. Be nice to everyone, kill them with kindness. Invite others, meet new people because you never know how many amazing people are out there.]]> 2017-05-14 22:30:03 UTC https://padlet.com/merinmcdermott/b5cw0tqxd8zy/wish/171711724 #7 How can you have a positive impact on the world? merinmcdermott https://padlet.com/merinmcdermott/b5cw0tqxd8zy/wish/171712288 Just be optimistic. When something negative happens just think about how worse other people have it. Yes it might seem so bad in that moment but I truly believe everything happens for a reason.  See the glass half full not half empty.]]> 2017-05-14 22:40:35 UTC https://padlet.com/merinmcdermott/b5cw0tqxd8zy/wish/171712288 #8 What does it mean to “leave a legacy” and how important is that to you? merinmcdermott https://padlet.com/merinmcdermott/b5cw0tqxd8zy/wish/171712384 Be someone, someone can look up to. 
-Support people
-Share your blessings
-Be a mentor
-Pursue my passions]]> 2017-05-14 22:42:10 UTC https://padlet.com/merinmcdermott/b5cw0tqxd8zy/wish/171712384 #9 How do you have an impact on global issues? merinmcdermott https://padlet.com/merinmcdermott/b5cw0tqxd8zy/wish/171712803 I think everyone has an impact on the world today, especially our generation and where it is headed. You can impact the world in a great way but there is also people that can impact it in a bad way. You just have to find that right crowd.]]> 2017-05-14 22:49:40 UTC https://padlet.com/merinmcdermott/b5cw0tqxd8zy/wish/171712803 #10 What’s the most important advice you’ve ever received from a parent,teacher, coach, family member and why? merinmcdermott https://padlet.com/merinmcdermott/b5cw0tqxd8zy/wish/171712897 My club coach told me that I am one of the most hard working soccer players he has ever seen and ever since then I have worked so hard so I never change his mind. Than once I tore my ACL I had to call my college coach and he said the same exact thing. So that is one thing I would like to live with for the rest of my life and hopefully that doesn't change. ]]> 2017-05-14 22:51:41 UTC https://padlet.com/merinmcdermott/b5cw0tqxd8zy/wish/171712897
