Who I am

I think that I'm at the self esteem part of this pyramid. The first part of the pyramid is a given. Everyone mostly should have that established by now in there lives. It's just the basis of living your life food, breathing, water, and sleep. The next one from the bottom is Saftey. I'm secure with my body and I have good resources and good morality. I also am secure with my family and my health. I am above the next one also and that is Love/Belonging. I have really good friends and a loving family that cares about me. Also my girlfriend Dakota and I have a really good relationship with each other. We fight like other couples do but we always find a way to work it out and sometimes that's not always easy to do. Now in my life I am at my self esteem part of my pyramid. Its my senior year and I'm starting to talk to people that I wouldn't normally talk to. Because I want people to know who I really am and the only way for people to know who I am is to talk and to get to know me also I want know the kids in my class and who they are. Sometimes I don't give some of the kids in this school the respect that they actually deserve because a lot of them don't have the things that I have and sometimes life can be rough on kids. Today I do have good confidence and people can see that without even saying one word to me. It's weird how u get that feeling when you know that someone has confidence and it's not a bad thing. So right now I'm working on having more confidence about who I am.

State Champion

Being a state champion is something that people very rarely get to say about themselves. I also think that winning a football state championship is a better achievement then winning a state championship in some sport that you are by yourself such as swimming. Because you know how to motivate yourself to go faster and try harder and for a football team we have to motivate 40 other guys to work harder run harder and play harder and that's not always easy to do especially for the younger guys that don't get a lot of playing time. Because everyday you get pushed around by these bigger faster older guys and it takes a toll on you over the year. But all of the older guys went through the same thing when they were freshman and sophmores. And look at them now. I do have a different outlook on life because I'm a state champion. If you believe you can do something and work and work everday you can achieve your goals in life but it's not gonna come easy. Nobodies gonna hand over a state championship to you just because your good. Yea we had a lot of talent but we also had a lot of heart especially in the Tuscola game in the quarter finals. Being down 21-8 in the 4th quarter is a hard thing to overcome and a lot of teams would have given up and realized the fate that was about to occur but we didn't we still believed we could do it and we did. We ended up winning the game 22-21 it took more heart than talent to win that game. After that game it seemed like destiny for then on out.

Revenge

I think revenge is a very good thing if you do what you think is right. For example last year in football we lost in the playoffs against Tuscola 63-8. It was a hard pill to swallow because they could of stopped passing the ball when they were up by forty but still passed the ball anyway. Yes they had a very good team. Maybe one of the best I've ever seen. But we knew some how some way we would me this team again. This year was a different story for Tuscola they went 6-3 n a good conference. They were the 12 seed in the state playoff bracket and the beat Routt. Then they beat Mt. Olive guess who they played next? This was are shot to get revenge on the team that dominated us a year ago. It was a good game until they started to separate away from us in the 3rd quarter. But we never gave up. It was 21-8 in the 4th quarter with 4 minutes in the game. Kellan ran a 28 waggle to Shaun and we scored! But there was a flag for a illegal motion on us. Then the next play the counter trea put us right back into the game with 3:30 to go in the game. So now we had to play defense. Of course in this situation they were gonna run the ball and the clock to win the game. On 4th and 1 the quarterback ran for the 1st down. The crowd grew silent as the Tuscola crowed went crazy they thought it was over. The quarterback was under center and fumble! Adam came up with the ball. Then the very next play kellan throws it up to a wide open tight end Shaun Kerr Touchdown! We Win! In this case revenge is a very good thing.

Election Day

My prediction on the election for this year was for Sen. McCain to become our new president. Because he is reliable and he can do the job fair and well. I'm not a big fan of Obama but if he makes good decisions I could be ok with him. But I hope he doesn't go making changes just because something has to do with the whites instead of the blacks. Also I think the reason that he won was because more African Americans voted than the last few elections. I wish that the people that didn't vote in the last few elections would have. Also President Obama campaigned in the right places and the right times to get his word in. I think a lot of people did not vote for McCain because they thought he was just another George Bush and they wanted change. So as you can tell my predictions on this election were wrong. But I like the outcome because no matter what history was made in this election. There was either the fist black president or the first women vice president.

Conflict

Dakota and I have been dating for about a year now. During this relationship we have pretty much had one big conflict. Me choosing between her and my friends. Most of the time I am with Dakota. But sometimes I want to hang out with my friends and that's when she gets mad. I understand why she wants to be with me because she loves me. I also understand how my friends feel like I left them. This brings a lot of stress because I like being with my friends and my girlfriend. Also I don't want to start a fight or make her feel like I don't want to be with her when i actually do. The way I want to solve this conflict is to hang out with my friends on certain days and hang out with her on the other days. This has worked out well because with team dinner for football I get to hang out and be with my friends on Wednesdays and on Thursdays she has gymnastics and cheer practice so I can be with my friends then also.
