Describe when someone’s words had a lasting impact on you

 A time when someone said something that had a lasting impact on me was when my family was at one of my dads friends houses and he said that I was a skinny kid but in a jokingly way and I had always looked up to this friend and that hurt and I wanted to change and grow my body to be bigger since then and I have and that has always been in my mind, making me push harder and get what needs to be done. I think it benifitted more than hurt. Sometimes those harsh words are what make you change for the better I believe. Today we had a virtual day and assignment, but I could not log in to it.

What life skills have you learned in high school that will help you live independently after high school? Which skills do you think are essential for your success after high school?

 Life skills that I have learned from Lakeside is try to always be kind to the people around you like peers and teachers because that builds respect and loyalty which can lead to helping each other out. Another life skill is that you have to try to be your best person and thrive to be better than others too, that will help with independent living, trying to do better and exceed and try harder and train harder than others. Also work with friends to build and to build each other up always helps one go further. I think skills that are essential are teamwork, trying, not giving in to what others are doing, staying true to your morals, learning around you, sticking to the right crowd. Today we did a Newsela article and I learned more about the Bill of Rights.

Describe a time when someone offended you with their words.

 A time when someone offended me with their words was when I played this game many years back with my brother where we would fight with sticks and see who could hit each other first. We would play tournaments with our friends and I would often meet with him in the finals and I would lose and lose and try so hard to win but always lose in every encounter. Then he would brag and tell me over and over that I cant beat him and that I'm a loser. That hurt but I finally started winning a little, which was one of the best feelings ever. Today we did a lesson about learning that people words can harm people inside.

Write about a time when your failure was necessary for your growth. Examples of failures could be failing a major exam, failure to make a team, failure in a relationship, etc.

 There was a time when I got badly injured and it took me months to start walking again and doing pt and running and strength training, and it was a tough mental time and it was very hard. My team was also in the state quarterfinals and playing the best team in the state, and I was injured in a wheelchair watching my team get beat and it was definetly a turning point in my life where I was like this can never happen again and I don't want to lose ever again. So after all the constant training and sitting out of everything and finally getting back to my sports and what I do, I came out of it with a better mindset and better training and work ethic which I am forever glad for and thank God that he put me through that so that I can become better and win.
