At the start of 2024, I went to Disneyland during the summer with my family. that same day I went on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride and was fascinated by the layout. when I got home that same night I thought about recreating it in Minecraft so I did. Today it seems like a complete waste of time, there were so many things I could've done with 160 hrs. I just started to play on it more and make more rides with Redstone, I have to say it was very complicated. It actually got decently popular, I invited my friends and stuff and now over 30 people have stepped on the land. I had many many friends help me with different things on there, many countless nights of fun and laughter. One of the longest rides I ever made took me over 4 months to make, just for it to take only one minute to ride. Overall it's been an incredible journey with everyone and Im glad they've had fun too.

joining wrestling again- August 2024

I had a lot of doubts when joining wrestling for the 2nd time. I told myself I shouldn't return because I wasn't good enough. But I decided to go back anyways, and I'm glad I did because I met a lot of new people now. The team is better than ever I think. During my time of joining again those new people have become my friends. Im doing well ever since I joined which is a good thing I suppose. I've lost a lot more weight and a bunch of other stuff, my cardio has definitely gotten better than before. It's always such a great experience going and seeing everyone pop up for practice. It's such hard work and determination however, sometimes it can really stress someone out. Overall it's really worth the join, I think more people should do it overall, It'll help out a lot of things.

The end of 9th grade- like may 2024

Finishing 9th grade was a turning point I feel like, It showed how much a person can improve. For example, I had a bad attituded friend who somehow changed over the summer, So it was a different experience. I feel like it was just a point in life where we realized there's more to life than just goofing off and having a good time. So in a way, you could say some of us matured in a way that others didn't. In reality, I feel like 9th grade was just a demo for what's in store for 10th or 11th, or even 12th grade. 10th grade is a bit harder, but if you're focused on what you're doing, things become easier and fun. I feel like I've become a better person than I was in 9th grade, to be honest. A lot more responsibilities are to be taken and a lot more things to finish, The workload could become too much or the stress could become too much. when I finished 9th I thought that 10th was gonna be a walk in the park, but it wasn't. It also opened up my eyes for what else was in store and for things yet to come, overall just more experience has came out of this, and lots more to come.

December in general- December 2024

December in general just had the most insane things happen, It was when Wrestling was at its peak. I went to a tournament and the entire team was getting put in place. I went up, absolutely terrified at what was gonna happen or take place. The dude was tall, muscular, and built, I thought I was about to die but in the end, I won. Another crazy thing that happened was my friend's birthday party, It was an insane day. I stayed the night at their house too. Basically, it was just a huge 16th birthday party, a LOT of my friends were there too, There was a dance room. They even had a gaming truck there too, lmao, they had cake and a lot of desserts. Overall December was just a crazy month with a-lot happening and so much going on. If I could relive it again I most definitely would, It was such a good time with everyone I kinda miss it.

I went to the snow for the first time- January 2024

I went to the snow for the very first time in January and it was such a special time for me. I obviously had never seen snow before, so seeing and touching was so cool. I went with my best friend who's been to the snow so many times, they asked me one day while I was at their house if I wanted to go or not the next day, And I said yeah. I went with them and we headed up to Big Bear and that was when I finally saw it for the first time. We had even brought sleds and we had so much fun. In the middle of the day, we finally used the sleds and maybe after 2 hours, we ate lunch. Sadly though, It had to get cut short because the next day was a school day and we had to be in bed early. We kept talking about it for days on end, It was literally so much fun dude. Like most of what else I said, I wish I could really relive this again. All of these memories are so good.
