Skills

1. Communications skills, Communication skills and connections are a great key to success. You have to know people and make a name for yourself, and the best way to do this is to communicate.  2. Time management skills, in high school time management was never really a problem due to having the same exact schedule all year long and being able to come home without homework to do. But time management is very important in college and in the real world. 3. Better teamwork skills, I am a great team worker but would like to see improvement considering just about any career or occupation requires some sort of team work even if you don't like the person. 4. Leadership skills, I was a great leader all throughout high school and would love for this to transfer with me as one day people may seek me as their leader and I will have to be able to hold that title. 5. Great work ethic, Work ethic goes a long way in the real world. Sometimes its not even about being the best at what you are doing, ...

College Transition

    One myth about the transition into college is that it requires more study time. In high school I felt that college was going to be awful when it came to having to study more and be losing sleep because of doing so, but I personally have not had to change my study habits that much.     Another myth would be that it is more free roam, which it has been a little more free but with covid going on it has still kind of been confined. You are not really able to just roam around campus or go visit friends in their dorms if you are a commuter.      The last myth to be pointed out is that college is more stressful. I have not found college to be much more stressful than high school was. I still show up to classes, take notes and complete assignments. The assignments may be more complex, and require more work, but it is no different than adding all the littler assignments together that we would receive in high school.

Biggest Regret

     My biggest regret is rushing back into sports after my ACL reconstruction my Junior year in High School. I tore my ACL junior year in the third football game of the season. I had to have ACL reconstruction and was told the recovery could be 9-12 months. This did not stop me from pushing myself and I was able to finish physical therapy earlier than most and was in a hurry to get back to sports. So later in my junior year I got back into track and was sure to secure my spots. Then running in a 100m dash the regret set in when I felt a shift in my knee and I nearly dropped. I did not want to go to the doctors as summer football workouts were ahead. Then those started and I was unable to compete in some of the events due to the pain my knee was causing. So eventually I had to go to the doctors and this is when I found out my ACL was torn again. I continued to play my senior year of football with a torn ACL and even wrestled for a month or so before I could no longer take...

Childhood Lie

When I was a child, like every other person I was told that Santa Claus was real. Every Christmas my parents would take me to see Santa, and listen in to what I told him I wanted. Then come Christmas Eve night they would have me set out cookies and milk. On the morning of Christmas we would wake up early and open our presents, but every Christmas morning the cookies and milk were gone. There would also be presents under the tree labeled "from Santa," but all that was a childhood lie that parents tell their children. That has not affected my relationship with my parents as every parent does this. I can also say that they are not the only ones guilty of this as I now tell my little cousins and nephew the same thing.

Elevator Music

In this video there are multiple different people getting onto the elevator each playing a different kind of music when entering because they do not find enjoyment in each others music. The author of this video made this video to show a difference in the kinds of music that people may like. It showed a distinct difference in the music that different age groups, races, and cultures may enjoy and how sometimes people may not care about the respect of others if it is not something they enjoy themselves. I think the audience in the video could be anyone because the main point I took away is show respect to those in your surroundings. Three ways this could help a community is showing respect to each other, don't be rude just because your interests are not the same, and take notes of others that may help you better yourself.

How I Ended Up In Jail

 I woke up in jail and did not have a clue of how I ended up there. As I regain my bearings and get woken up I notice that there are a few objects in my pockets still. The first thing I pull out of my pocket is my Id. This is strange because I normally keep my Id in my wallet, but I do not have my wallet with me. The next thing I have in my pocket is a paper clip, but it is unfolded and no longer in its' normal shape. Finally I pull out a bottle opener. That's when everything comes back to me. I remember being at the bar, which would explain why I have just my Id and not my wallet. This would also explain why I have a bottle opener still in my pocket, I must have taken it from the bar by accident. I decide to ask what I had done to be arrested because I still do not know why I have an unfolded paper clip. That's when the officer tells me I was arrested for breaking and entering. I asked for the area I was picked up and they told me. That is when I suddenly remember it all. ...
