But, spending most of my time on campus taught me how much more important the people are—instead of all the available activities.

Coaching, it’s in my Blood
The definition of a coach in the Webster’s Dictionary is “one who instructs players in the fundamentals of a competitive sport and directs team strategy.” While I would agree with that 100%...coaching involves so much more.
I Need A Recess
Who decided between 6th and 7th grade I didn’t deserve a recess anymore? I motion that the new cutoff should be as soon as you get your high school diploma. Up until then, each and every high school kid gets a 45-minute recess. I would happily give up a study hall for a 45-minute recess, who wouldn’t?
One Thousand
One thousand can either be a lot or a little. It’s a little when you’re burning through Chuck E. Cheese’s game tokens at a fourth grade birthday party and have to share those tokens with a hundred other kids. But this Christmas, a thousand seemed like an endless number.
Communication Technology
An interesting topic was brought up last week in English class. To start off class my English teacher, Mrs. Marker, had each of us write a paragraph based on the idea that recent advancements in communication technologies like Facebook, Twitter, smart phones, and Skype are slowly killing human social life. It was meant to be a persuasive paragraph on whether I thought these advancements were good or bad for the future of human interaction.

Resolutions
The Holidays are officially over…my tree and decorations came down over the weekend and are in storage for another year. I rung in the New Year with some great family and friends and I’m vowing to make 2012 the best year yet! I think every year you should try to better yourself in some way, grow from the year before, learn from your past mistakes and set new goals to strive for.

What You Need to Get Me for Christmas
It truly is the most wonderful time of the year. I took time to consider the grandeur of Christmas and I realized that people must actually like me. It is reassuring to know that there are people that love me enough to buy me presents, and it really make me feel included in a family when my mom, aunts, and uncles are all asking me what I want for Christmas.
