My Good padlet by amrit anand https://padlet.com/amritanand764_/sn0qfmvfh37q6s68 en-us 2023-10-12 13:52:43 UTC 2024-05-02 14:00:11 UTC hello@padlet.com Goals and reflection amritanand764_ https://padlet.com/amritanand764_/sn0qfmvfh37q6s68/wish/2743682465 This year I am finding the new subjects rather boring and I felt like I would have picked a different set of subjects.


I am an Amateur boxer and I want to win the golden gloves as a short term goal. Last year I could not train as hard as I wanted due to the Junior Cert but this year we get minimal homework. this year I train about 5 hours every day in hope of being physically fit to compete. My routine might sound a bit much but it is critical for my journey to achieve. i wake up at 6am and run then go to school till 5pm then straight after I go to the gym and train for 4 hours until 9pm and usually get home at 10ish, then I eat, sleep and repeat, 6 days a week all year.


In case you didn't know the path to become a World champion you must first... have a good record as an Amateur (e.g 50-2. An Amateur boxer is a boxer under the age of 18 and hence doesn't get paid for his fights). If you become a high level Amateur you can participate every year in a tournament held in the US or Poland called the golden gloves (4-5 people from each country). If you do good in tournaments, you a presented with two choices either become a Pro Boxer meaning you now get paid for your fights. You can also try for the Olympics which is an almost impossible task with high chance of injury but if you win the Olympics and then become a Pro you pay grade increases by 10x due to your elite status.

He help fifty seven countries and raised about one billion euro for charity. He talked us through his vision and his life and why he wanted to leave his successful sports journalist career to start up a charity.

This is because I am apart of the hockey team and badminton team so I get to miss lots of school. I just got my Junior cert results and got 2 distinctions and 6 higher merits. What made me really happy is that I got a distinction in maths which I did expect by my teacher though I would fail and it felt good when I got what she thought I wouldn't. We went bowling and almost got kicked out for messing. The manager came over and said if we would continue messing he would close down our lane.


I participated in a barista course which i really enjoyed. We learned how to make different types of coffee and i also have work experience set up related to being a barista.

The trip itself was very enjoyable as we went bog jumping, kayaking and swimming. I really enjoyed those activities but what I enjoyed the most was the one night me and my friend slept in a tent outside. It was freezing cold we got no sleep as we were shriving all night long and we talking all night as we had nothing to do. We also got really tasty food all day. On the way back I had no energy and the mood to do nothing and I was happy to be going home.

I was out for 10 out of 14 classes and my grade wasn't that good but I am working really hard to get the maximum amount of credits possible. New post - 02/05/24 I was told I did really good and better than most. I managed to bring back my grades higher than I could have Imagined.

The light at the end of the tunnel is that I am practicing new pieces for my leaving cert Music exam. I am really enjoying these pieces and love playing currently. I am excited to play these new pieces. My goal is to get a H1 in Music but the first step to that is to get a perfect mark in my practical which while hard is possible. I am working towards my goal and i am on track to achieve it.
