high school tennis
In high school tennis was the best part of school. It is where I can have fun and be myself. I was on the tennis team for 3 years and loved every minute of it. The first year I was on the bench because there were a lot of seniors and this was my first time in a long time that I have played. For my next 2 years I was # 3 on my team witch is really good because we have always have had a good tennis team. My junior yea I was 12-1 but in my senior year I was 13-0 and our team didn’t lose any matches verse any team so we won conference. I was so happy because are team worked so hard to be perfect. If we got anything less then a perfect season then it was a disappointment. We played in distracts and won that but we had injured players on our team after distracts. We were all so happy that we won but me could stop there we wanted to win more we trained so hard. We were in regionals and lost. We it was very disappointing but we had a great season and memories that will last forever. I miss tennis so much and the matches. I learned a lot and wish one day that I can coach a team to be just as good as we once were.
gymnastics
If there is one thing that has changed me the most in my life it would have to say that gymnastics has changed me the most. I was in it from when I was 3 till 14 years old. When I was on the boys team I was really quiet while I was there and one kid would count all of the words I would say the whole time I was at practice. Most of the time it was like 4 words for the 2 hours I was there but over time I would talk more and I opened up. Also when I was there doing all of the events it has made me strong, balanced and have great coordination. Doing gymnastics has made me good at any sport I try like tennis when I my first few lessons the coach told my mom that I had great potential to be really good because I had good foot work and endurance witch I credit to gymnastics. I made a best friend there to and till this day we still talk a lot and are best friends. I am glad I did gymnastics and I regret quitting. If me and my friend didn’t quit we would have made it to the Olympics this past year because at the time we were in gymnastics we were both winning states and really good. It has taught me a lot and I am glad I was in it for as long as I was.
alaska vacation
It was the summer before junior year and my parents wanted to take me on vacation to Alaska. I was pumped it sounded so nice and a good learning experience and what kids can say that they have been to Alaska. We stayed in the city for 3 days and then went on a cruise. For the first 3 days was the time that I learned so much about Alaska. It is the biggest state but is one of the least populated. Also not many people live in the northern part because it gets to cold. All of the high schools there were also very small. I heard that the graduating class had 8 people. It makes me glad that I live in Florida where there are so many people and I can have many friends instead of a select few. Also the city is really small and it doesn’t even feel like a city its like a small town. There are a couple good parts about Alaska and that it the view of everything it’s so beautiful and perfect. The other good part is that everyone there is very active and fit, unlike Florida where most people don’t care about their bodies. I then went on a cruise where I saw so many beautiful things. I saw the biggest glacier in the world but because of global warming it is shrinking everyday and you can see it getting smaller because large chunks fall off every second. Another cool thing that I leaned is that the south east part of Alaska the only way to get to parts is by plane or boat because there are many small islands. The trip there was one for a life time something that I will never forget I am glad I went, I learned so much about people and life.
my high school life
My high school life was different them most peoples. I am a very shy quiet kid who doesn’t talk a lot. For my first 2 years in high school I didn’t really have any friends because I didn’t open up to anyone and I liked my life as is was already. But I was like I cant go throw high school with no friends so I went out of comfort zone and made a couple of friends but not a lot I was kind of weird I guess to other kids. Soon after I had some friends I had my first girlfriend and that was fun because it was all new and fun. Me and my friends didn’t go out and party a lot we just chilled. I am still that same person I was back then I just open up to people better witch makes my college life so much better. I just wished I did that in high school and maybe I would have had a better time.
spring drom life
Coming in from the summer and know that I made it was really exciting and knowing that I was going to dorm with my best friend that I made from summer I was really looking forward to school. I know that it would be a bit different because there will be a lot more people and that means more drama. But since being here it has been good not a lot of drama and for the most part everyone gets along. Everybody knows everyone and nothing stays a secret witch I think is good. Taking from what I learned in summer and how to handle myself it has been a lot easier for school and my life in general. Since starting school I have been eating really healthy and have been going to the gym 4 times a week. I have met some really cool people and I know some of them will be my friends for life. I am having a blast here and I have experienced so many new things and just know more about life in general. I hope next semester is just as good as this past one because I will learn some much more.
dorm life from summer
I was in the freshmen summer institute and I lived in the dorms for the 6 weeks I had to be in school. I was a new experience for me because I had to live away from home and I have never even moved before. So I was different I had to clean up after myself and go shopping for food. It wasn’t the same at first I was super nervous and everyday I didn’t feel well. This was because I was out of my comfort zone and everything was new. I also had 3 other roommates that I have never met before. So not only did have to be fine with living somewhere else I had to do it with complete strangers to me. Throughout the 6 weeks I learned a lot about myself and how to deal with stress and new situations. I had a lot of school work and I had to deal with new everything. I got passed it all and did very well I thought. I made a lot of new friends and did good in school. I am glad that I never gave up on myself and now I can make it through anything now.
school work
While coming to college has taught me a lot about life it has also taught me a lot about school and home work. Since being in college I have learned to do stuff on my own like school work. For my chemistry class I had to teach myself a lot and learn what to study and to study hard for everything. It has also taught me to become more mature and to not procrastinate. Every assignment I haven’t waited till the last minute to do the only one is doing the blog’s I have waited witch I shouldn’t. It is still a big improvement from high school where I would always wait till the night before to do everything. I have also learned that I have to do things on my own like if I need something normally in high school parents would help you and or do it for you but while being here has made me more independent and can do things on my own. Living on the campus was the best thing that has ever happen to me because I have learned so much.
