Final Blog

I think that right now a lot of things are important to me that will be important to me in the future and maybe for the rest of my life. Right now girls, school, friends, sports, and family are probably the most important things in my life. However I don’t think much of that will change and this is because I think my mindset will always be the same. Girls, sports, and school I think dominate my life the most as that is what I enjoy the most. Like everyone else I am still looking for love even I am in love with a girl it is not working out like it should or as I imagined and hoped it would. Love kind of sucks but I still pursue it because it will be worth it in the end and I will be looking my whole life until I find it and it is perfect. Sports right now are coming to end but that doesn’t mean that they are over. Playing soccer and running track I know I will continue to run for as long as I can and play soccer for as long as I can. I am playing soccer in college and I think it will always be a huge part of my life. School is very important and always will be even after college. As I know that even after I completely done with my education I will still need to use it every day of my life with the profession I consider pursuing. Friends are also a huge part of my life because I see them every day and they are a big part of my life because they have helped shape who I am as a person. I have surrounded myself with loving caring good kids as my friends and in turn I am a loving caring and good kid at least I think I am. I see my friends every single day and I don’t know what I would do without them especially my close friends. Family is very important for my father but not as important to me. Because of my father however my family does do a lot of stuff together and that is also a big part of my life. I think that these things are important to me because they are my whole life. They are all things I keep around me so I deal with them every day whether they are good or bad. They are important to me primarily because of normality. I am used to these things being there and if they were not I think I would be lost. That is why they are so important to me because I am used to them and they are important to me because they are always there. I think if this ever changed it would be hard for me to change with it because I am so used to it. That is exactly why I say that I won’t change things that are important to me when I get older.

Wild card is hard

Every time a wild card is given it gets harder and harder to think of something to write about.  I remember in the beginning of the year getting a wild card as one of the blog topics for the week was the best thing that could happen, and writing about anything I wanted to, was so easy, and these types of blogs just flowed out.  But now this is not the case, I find these blogs to be the hardest possible and truthfully I do not know why it is getting so hard to write about anything I want to.  So I guess instead of writing about my future I’ll describe an incident that happened in my life that required me to dig down deep, and reach out to people for a helping hand to continue on.When I was eleven years old I was in the gym practicing Olympic sparring, usually I practice kicking moving pads and targets, or focusing on drills to increase endurance power and speed in my fighting skills.  When I would practice fighting someone it would usually be someone my age or an instructor who would only block or fight back lightly.  But to gain an advantage when fighting kids my age, I began to spar with a four years older than I was.  During practice one day I was slow reacting and he threw a kick landing square on my face, shattering my right orbital bone.  It was a devastating blow to my confidence, and after the incident I was reluctant to return back to the sparring ring.  But my desire to return back and accomplish my goals was greater than my fear of getting hurt all over again.  I looked too my parents for guidance as well as my trainers and teachers who encouraged me and pushed me to train hard and get back in the ring.  Without their support and uplifting attitudes it would have been much more difficult to get back up, dust myself off, and get back to doing what I loved.

Advice

Two begin; I would like to say that I am not very pleased that this is the second blog in a row that involves not just a topic that involves my own life but a topic which entitles me to share specific instances in which I must share my life to the world.  This is not because I am embarrassed or ashamed I just feel a tad bit uncomfortable doing so.  On that note I guess ill begin.  If I could somehow meet up with the past me and give myself advice with the knowledge I know hold (which is not a whole lot) I would definitely have a few stories to tell as well as a few hints or pointers to take in so things that did not go so smoothly go a little easier or may never happen at all.  I guess the first thing I would give advice about is school, and by school I mainly mean the grades and school work aspect.  If I could tell my past me about how important studying and grades and applying myself is and will be things would be much different.  I would tell myself that spending the small portion of time now will mean a huge difference in the upcoming years and that my junior year is the most important year of my life and that focusing on my schoolwork for the few months I am in school is much more beneficial than going out with friends and slacking off, and that those few months will dictate my entire life.  That those months will determine how much money I will get as far as scholarships go, and that with larger scholarships doors open up to which college I can attend instead of dealing with the juggling act of educational and financial weight.  On the other hand I would tell myself that during my freshman year and up I should work hard in track because I will develop into a fantastic athlete and if I had trained since hard since freshman year instead of the end of my junior year and senior year I would be a nationally ranked individual runner and not just a state ranked runner.  As far as advice goes I feel like that sums it up for the most part.  Besides a few little tips on how certain things will end with certain people and maybe that I should not invest so much time in certain people due to knowing the outcome that is all the advice I could give the past me of two or three years.
