It took me roughly a year working at a couple different places, but I was able to make most of my money over the summer lifeguarding at Splash Island to get a 2014 Honda civic a couple of months ago! A fear of mine right now is growing up, which is exciting yet also bitter sweet. Some things I like are the ocean, sunsets, walks, animals, summer time, and time with family and friends whenever I get the chance! I would consider myself both and extrovert and introvert.]]> 2023-01-03 21:46:07 UTC https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2432907546 Lilly Ingersoll https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2433042563 The thing that i’m most proud of myself is for being an a-b student. Having seven different classes can be a struggle sometimes with having to remember all the material in one class to going to the next and getting new information daily. It can be a lot of hard work when the homework piles up and it all being due the next day which is stressful enough. I try to do my best in all of my classes, and if my grades drop, I put in more effort to make it better the next time. I would say a fear of mine as of right now is rejection because you can act a certain way that some people accept, but then there’s other people who don’t. The farthest trip that i’ve been on was to Boston, MA over summer. I loved the environment and being in the city. There was so much to do there and it’s been my favorite trip so far!]]> 2023-01-04 02:10:22 UTC https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2433042563 Jacy Elliott https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2433943810 My greatest achievement was being able to kick my master in the head. I was in martial arts for around 3 years (I did karate and taekwondo each for a year an a 1/2.) It's something I'm proud of because his defenses were air tight and I surprised him. He didn't wear any gear so it hurt him but he was shocked and congratulated me. On another note, my biggest fear is living a boring life or a life I'll regret. I want to live my life to the fullest and enjoy my time here on earth. If I could listen to only one genera of music it would be Visual Kei. It's a Japanese metal/rock genera and its actually one of my interests in careers is to become a producer or be apart of a Visual Kei band. My vocal range is a wide range from high to low notes. The style is also something that I enjoy.]]> 2023-01-04 19:12:06 UTC https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2433943810 Aliou Jalloh https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2433945090 A personal goal I achieved was getting a good psat score. I didn’t even know about it before we took it and it was very stressful taking it but in the end I did well so I am proud. My biggest fear is crashing while I’m driving. I’m a bad driver so it’s stressful while I’m driving because I’m so scared of crashing. To relax I play basketball with friends. We also play video games together and that’s also relaxing.]]> 2023-01-04 19:13:23 UTC https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2433945090 Griffin Simpson https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2433947489 One thing I am proud of myself for is playing varsity football since Sophomore year after being a basketball player for years. My biggest fear is disappointing the people I love. I consider myself a mix of an Introvert and an Extrovert. If i’m around people who I don’t know, i’m typically more introverted. Around my friends though, I would say i’m one of the more extroverted people i know.]]> 2023-01-04 19:15:33 UTC https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2433947489 Briana Knoblett https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2433947679 The thing I’m most proud of myself is for being able to teach myself to play guitar and piano. I’ve spent many hours and years teaching myself to play all types of music. (I’m biased but I love to play bass guitar over all my other guitars). Working hard was really worth it and I love being able to play music for my friends and family. My biggest fear is flying right now. I am very scared of something being wrong with the aircraft as well as turbulence because it feels like a roller coaster. Also being up very high messes with my vertigo and makes me feel nauseous. The furthest place I have traveled to is New York. It was very different than I pictured it but also extremely fun! I went to a Rockettes show with my family and it was so beautiful. My favorite band is The Beatles so I went to Strawberry Fields in Central Park which is a John Lennon memorial. It was so emotional and special for me and was definitely my favorite part.]]> 2023-01-04 19:15:45 UTC https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2433947679 Aliyah Alexander https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2433947975 The thing I have accomplished that I can hold to a high standard is how much ice improved with my listening and communication skills with friends and family. Nows there’s less miscommunication and bickering. My biggest fear has to be is being alone for the rest of my life. I’m an extrovert who thrives in social situations and gets energy/ serotonin from just being around people. I feel even better when I’m conversing likes and dislikes with new people who can be potential friends. I’m an opportunist, so if I see or hear someone has a similar interest or situation as me I’ll be the one to go out of my way to get to know them. I’m very blunt and respectful which can get a bit tangly in a school environment however most teachers and staff are very understanding of my position and where I’m coming from so they don’t mind it. ]]> 2023-01-04 19:16:02 UTC https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2433947975 Sawyer Leming https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2433948434 One thing I'm very proud of is having run three half-marathons. A distance that far is really hard to train for, and takes a lot of time, and i did my first when I was 11. My biggest fear is needles. I've had to have IV's and shots for for my COVID vaccines and tests for things like mono recently, and I always get extremely nervous when I'm about to get a shot. My most prized possession is my bass. I started playing later than most, in freshman year. I learned how to play at the freshman level in two weeks, and have gotten much better since. It's a super fun instrument, and I always love playing it.]]> 2023-01-04 19:16:27 UTC https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2433948434 Preston Cook https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2433948923 My biggest achievement that i’ve ever achieved was passing my permit test. The first time I took the test, I failed it by one question. That made me really sad and discouraged me a lot but then I came back the next day and passed it and that got me super hype and i was very proud of myself. My biggest fear is getting stuck in a small space and not being able to move myself or escape where I am at. I just hate the thought of not being able to move my body and having no way of getting out of somewhere. The farthest I’ve ever travelled was to Cozumel, Mexico. I went on a cruise and that was the spot we stopped at. It was really nice there and I really enjoyed that entire vacation.]]> 2023-01-04 19:16:57 UTC https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2433948923 Jessie Miller https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2433950661 A goal of mine I've achieved in my life would have to be learning to play guitar, and getting to play it on a public stage with a band. My biggest fear right now is probably getting into a car crash. In only a few seconds your life could change completely and you have absolutely no say in it. you don't even have to be the one driving for your life to be completely ruined either, its terrifying. but on a more positive note if I could only listen to one genre of music for the rest of my life it would be something along the lines of indie pop; anything like what once was by her's ]]> 2023-01-04 19:18:29 UTC https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2433950661 Victoria Ericson https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2433951963 One personal goal I have achieved is maintaining good grades in school. I’ve always wanted to go to a good college so grades. My biggest fear in life is probably going on planes. I HATE the turbulence and the possibility of the plane crashing is the only thing i can think about when I’m on a plane. It sucks because I really do like to travel but the fear of crashing makes it difficult. Hopefully I can overcome this fear soon because my family has started to travel a lot more. If i could listen to one genre of music for the rest of my life it would definitely be afrobeats. It feels empowering listening to music from people that look like me. It also helps that the music is very good. If you see with my airpods in 9 times out of 10 i’m listening to wizkid or burna boy.]]> 2023-01-04 19:19:44 UTC https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2433951963 Alicia Brandon https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2433966339 One personal goal that I have achieved in my life is getting a 12ft jump in long jump when i was in track in middle school. It was really cool and I won the competition and got a first place medal. Everyone congratulated me and I went home and got to get ice cream cause I did so good in the competition.
I have Tribophobia it’s the fear of holes and it makes me itch and I don’t even like thinking about it.
My favorite movie is the Princess and the frog I love that movie since i was a little kid I still watch it today it is so nice to relive memories .]]> 2023-01-04 19:34:28 UTC https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2433966339 Autumn Woods autumnw0128 https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2433998038 One thing that I am most proud of that I have achieved is that I am in marching band and I have gone to the Macy’s Thanksgiving day parade. I have also gone to grand national finals and was 8th overall out of 12 bands in the country. It was a huge accomplishment for everyone involved including me. My biggest fear is snakes. I have never been a huge fan of snakes and I prefer never to go near them as well because I’m so afraid of them. Even when we go to the zoo the rest of my family goes to see the snakes while I stay outside with our stuff. Which to me is way better then if I go in there. I’m just so scared they might come out of there glass especially the big ones. One thing that I do like about myself is my birthmark on my head. I get a lot of comments about it from people some nice and some rude. I used to hate it when people ask me questions, but now it does not bother me as much as it used to. And besides some of the questions or comments are pretty funny to me. But I love my birthmark and it makes me who I am. And I would not cover it up for the world. One thing I would like to circle back to that I mentioned before is that I do marching band. It is mainly what I do in my free time because I do just regular playing my instrument, in my free time, but also in the summer spring and fall I do marching band, and it is very crazy and very busy at points and very tiring. I love doing it because In the end it has always been worth the long hours and restless nights. Not to mention the 2am getting back home or the 5am wake up calls. It it is a process and a very difficult one to but the end result has to be my favorite part of it all.]]> 2023-01-04 20:08:15 UTC https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2433998038 Emma Merkle https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2434021719 The goals I’ve achieved is getting to compete in South Bend against all the other cheer teams in Indiana, Winning our state competition and getting the chance to go to Michigan to compete at nationals with all the other cheer teams in the country.
The farthest place I’ve ever traveled to is Jamaica we were supposed to go on spring break but Covid came around so it got canceled. We went to Jamaica during spring break of 2021, The experience and the view was amazing. I would say I’m more of an introvert vs an extrovert because I’m more sociable around the people I know than the people I don’t know and I like to have my alone time most of the time. But I also would rather work in groups than independent.]]> 2023-01-04 20:38:37 UTC https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2434021719 cate richardson https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2434051112 Something that I have accomplished this year that i’m proud of is maintaining A’s and B’s all throughout highschool while also being an athlete and working. Time management took a while for me to learn, but once I learned I was able to apply it to everything that I do. My biggest fear is failing the goals that I’ve set for myself in life. I want to go very far and continue my education. I have high standards for myself and i know that I am very capable of them if I continue to persevere. I want to go to law school and be a successful lawyer in the future. It takes time and commitment and total dedication. But not being able to sustain myself in the future is a fear of mine. Lastly, I would call myself a mix of an introvert and an extrovert. I enjoy social settings as well as being around people. I find that keeping myself busy allows me to express myself and it makes me very happy. At the same time, I enjoy having time to myself and making sure I also put myself first. I tend to keep to myself even in very busy situations. ]]> 2023-01-04 21:23:03 UTC https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2434051112 Chloe Veach https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2434079654 One thing that I'm proud of achieving is balancing extracurriculars while still getting good grades in school. Between hard classes, dancing, school clubs, and working it has gotten hard this year to manage my time, but being able to balance it is one of my biggest achievements. One of my biggest fears is setting goals for myself and failing.One thing that I wish I had more time for is traveling, because I love seeing new places and trying new things!]]> 2023-01-04 22:23:56 UTC https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2434079654 Dylan Price https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2434086849 A personal goal that I achieved in my life was playing varsity matches this season on the tennis team. As a freshman, I barely got to travel to the away matches so I was proud of being able to improve so much and get varsity at the beginning of the season. I played all winter and spring to prepare for the season. My biggest fear is failure, whether failing myself or others. The furthest place I have traveled to is Alaska. I went on a cruise up the Pacific coast of Canada and part way around Alaska over summer break in 2018 with a bunch of my family and cousins. ]]> 2023-01-04 22:41:19 UTC https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2434086849 Parker Huff https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2434194961 A personal goal that I have achieved in my life is that I won a state championship with my unified flag football team. It was an amazing experience to meet new people, have a lot fun and to win a state championship. My biggest fear is spiders. It scares the 🤬 out of me when I see those terrifying eight-legged hairy creatures. The farthest place that I have ever traveled to is San Francisco. I went there for a summer family vacation and had a lot of fun.]]> 2023-01-05 02:23:00 UTC https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2434194961 Jessie Ndikum https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2434245487 A personal goal that I archived in my life is developing communication skills. I used to feel shy when asked to greet someone or lead a prayer but now no more. One thing I’m most scared of is having to near death or die. Sometimes I think about life without my existence and it scares me.if I were to listen to one type of music for the rest on my life, I’d pick early 2000s rap or pop music I like Rihanna and Nelly ]]> 2023-01-05 03:44:26 UTC https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2434245487 Josiah Berkholz https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2434258996 A personal goal I have achieved in my life is getting a job.  It helped me learn discipline and I got to make money while learning life skills.  My biggest fear would be needles.  I hate needles I don't really know why I just don't like pointy thing going into me I guess.  My favorite movies are star wars.  I really like the story line and how the movies are sci-fi.  They did a better job on the older ones than the new ones.]]> 2023-01-05 04:09:40 UTC https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2434258996 Kiersten Dunlop https://padlet.com/arnoldma4/dkhj5ks8kfy2okkd/wish/2434591080 A personal goal I have achieved is I made varsity freshman year and this year for diving.
