Sadly I got cut and did not make the team. This showed me that sometimes in life you don't always get what you want and you have to overcome that obstacle and don't let it drag you down ]]> 2021-04-22 19:30:10 UTC https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449093326 8223701 https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449107558 First time I got to go on my boat at my  lake house. I eventually learned how to surf as well which is very difficult to do. I still surf to this day. ]]> 2021-04-22 19:33:47 UTC https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449107558 8223701 https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449110452 Went on a fishing trip to Canada with my Grandpa and his brothers for my golden birthday. I was taught so many life lessons there that I will never forget. ]]> 2021-04-22 19:34:34 UTC https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449110452 8223701 https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449119778 Went to Steamboat, Colorado to snowboard. This trip really showed me how much I love to snowboard and to be in the mountains in general. ]]> 2021-04-22 19:36:56 UTC https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449119778 8223701 https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449123448 While I was snowboarding I dislocated my wrist and broke my growth plate bone in my wrist. This was the first time I have ever suffered a severe injury and that I should take my healthy body for granite because you never know what type of injury you can get. ]]> 2021-04-22 19:37:51 UTC https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449123448 8223701 https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449136280 I went to Washington D.C. with my school, there are so many historical monuments that shaped my opinion on things today. The trip was so eventful because not everyone gets to do it. ]]> 2021-04-22 19:41:23 UTC https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449136280 8223701 https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449145482 I joined trolls where a couple of my friends and I would jump on a bus every Saturday and be driven to Alpine Valley or Wilmont in Wisconsin and snowboard for the day. So many great memories that I had and it made me independent since my parents were not with me to help me with anything. ]]> 2021-04-22 19:43:35 UTC https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449145482 8223701 https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449152347 My uncle surprised me by showing me a car that he got me for my birthday. It is a 1992 Chevy Blazer and it really showed me how thankful I am for my family and the oppurintes they give me to be the best I can be. ]]> 2021-04-22 19:45:22 UTC https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449152347 8223701 https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449158679 I played my first game of high school football and it was the best thing to ever happen to me. It opened up obstacles that I never had before, made me tons of new friends, and really showed how passionate I am. ]]> 2021-04-22 19:47:09 UTC https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449158679 8223701 https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449168326 I took a trip to Costa Rica with my family. It really showed me how different the world is if you just go outside your country. It's crazy to see how different their culture is. ]]> 2021-04-22 19:49:41 UTC https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449168326 8223701 https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449171710 I got my first job that I really enjoyed which was landscaping. I power wash, picked weeds, mowed lawns, and gardening. Since this came with pay it showed me that I need to save my money and not spend it all right away. ]]> 2021-04-22 19:50:33 UTC https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449171710 8223701 https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449176241 Around October I started helping my dad with these two apartments he owns in Lockport. This really opened my eyes to the real world and what a landlord has to do on a daily basis because soon enough I will own these two apartments. ]]> 2021-04-22 19:51:50 UTC https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449176241 8223701 https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449180632 The first time I really worked out before at an actual gym. This really showed me how important it is to take care of myself and to be in the best shape I can be. Not only for football but I wanted to start this mindset of treating my body right everyday sooner than later. ]]> 2021-04-22 19:53:02 UTC https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449180632 8223701 https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449185046 In March this is when our school shut down I believe. We had to completely shift the way we learn because it is so much different to be on a computer then being at school. It made me feel like I had to do more by myself then I would in class. ]]> 2021-04-22 19:54:14 UTC https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449185046 8223701 https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449189136 I started to take golf more seriously and I played a lot with my friends and dad. Even though it is probably the hardest sport to be good at, it showed me that I need to put in hours of work if I want to be good at it. ]]> 2021-04-22 19:55:21 UTC https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449189136 8223701 https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449196708 This was the first time I sat down with my parents and talked about colleges. It was a big step for me because whatever choice I chose for which college I wanted would affect my life. ]]> 2021-04-22 19:57:21 UTC https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449196708 8223701 https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449606954 During school I was taking Marketing and Sports Marketing for one of my electives. After taking these classes I soon fell in love with Marketing and decided that's what I want to major in and have a job with because it is really easy for me and I love it. ]]> 2021-04-22 22:30:35 UTC https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449606954 8223701 https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449608811 In January I actually got COVID. This was a brutal two weeks because I felt isolated and alone but I knew that if I pushed everyday It would soon be over. ]]> 2021-04-22 22:31:24 UTC https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449608811 8223701 https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449610146 My family and I were coming home from Minnesota and when we got home there was so much snow we could barely drive on our street. It took us 3 days to finally get all of the snow out of our driveway. This was a major challenge I faced during this time because I had to put in this work I didn't wanna do just to get in my house. z]]> 2021-04-22 22:32:07 UTC https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449610146 8223701 https://padlet.com/8223701/w9ucglvizkhqdogb/wish/1449631750 Played Falcons Football for the first time since my friends encouraged me to play.
