My academic life is not impressive, but I have a strong future ahead of me in cross country and track.]]> 2023-06-07 02:18:09 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewbooth3/wcaortqg6mttnjx4/wish/2616520464 andrewbooth3 https://padlet.com/andrewbooth3/wcaortqg6mttnjx4/wish/2616520466 When I ran my first mile in under 5 minutes, I remember my teammates on the sidelines running with me as I finished. I'd never felt such a strong feeling of belonging and family outside of my relationship with my parents.]]> 2023-06-07 02:18:09 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewbooth3/wcaortqg6mttnjx4/wish/2616520466 andrewbooth3 https://padlet.com/andrewbooth3/wcaortqg6mttnjx4/wish/2616520468 When I went to Mexico during the summer of my sophomore year to visit my mom's side of the family, I saw the poor living conditions of so many people, both those in poverty and those who could afford housing. I matured during that trip when I finally saw the world's problems and just a glimpse of how far they went.]]> 2023-06-07 02:18:09 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewbooth3/wcaortqg6mttnjx4/wish/2616520468 andrewbooth3 https://padlet.com/andrewbooth3/wcaortqg6mttnjx4/wish/2616520470 My upcoming senior year of high school is looking up. My coaches plan to name the captain of the varsity cross country team, and I am the cultural orientations officer for the Sister Cities of Fort Worth. I feel like I am finally finding order in my life and I am glad that I can do it through leading and helping other people.]]> 2023-06-07 02:18:09 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewbooth3/wcaortqg6mttnjx4/wish/2616520470 andrewbooth3 https://padlet.com/andrewbooth3/wcaortqg6mttnjx4/wish/2616520472 Although I don't know how to change the shape of the river, I would say that it was twisted and without form up until now. My academic life before my junior year was always unimpressive and I never had motivation to do anything with it. I also unfortunately have chronic achilles tendonitis that I've been struggling with for a year and a half now. However, this year I picked my academic life up, I finally found a hope of combatting my achilles tendonitis, and I'm a part of the Sister Cities of Fort Worth and have the amazing opportunity of participating with the Experiment Digital. I still have a long way to go, but I can feel the river getting straighter and more orderly.]]> 2023-06-07 02:18:09 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewbooth3/wcaortqg6mttnjx4/wish/2616520472 andrewbooth3 https://padlet.com/andrewbooth3/wcaortqg6mttnjx4/wish/2616520473 The waters were rough, but they are getting smoother. My Achilles tendonitis and poor academic performance definitely made some bumps in the road, but I am overcoming them and clearing the obstacles one by one.]]> 2023-06-07 02:18:09 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewbooth3/wcaortqg6mttnjx4/wish/2616520473 andrewbooth3 https://padlet.com/andrewbooth3/wcaortqg6mttnjx4/wish/2616520475
I can see people lined up throughout my river. I see my friends and teammates who I've grown with and love, and I see everyone who's ever taught me a lesson, like my coaches and teachers. I also see people who I considered enemies, but that I recognize helped me mature and grow as a person.]]> 2023-06-07 02:18:09 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewbooth3/wcaortqg6mttnjx4/wish/2616520475 andrewbooth3 https://padlet.com/andrewbooth3/wcaortqg6mttnjx4/wish/2616520476 I do not know where I am in my river, and I don't think that I will know for a very long time. I want to work on making my river go straighter and line up the scenery with more people that I can call friend and foe.]]> 2023-06-07 02:18:09 UTC https://padlet.com/andrewbooth3/wcaortqg6mttnjx4/wish/2616520476
