Coming of age

            What goes through your mind when you imagine yourself as a freshman going to high school? Scared, nervous, shaky, overwhelmed. Well I was mostly all of those things as a freshmen going through high school, it was very tough and agonizing. But before the year I made goals for myself; find new friends, join a sport, and get decent grades. This is my life started to turn around and change myself to becoming a better person.

            As I go searching for my identity in high school I stumble upon this sport called wrestling. At first I thought is it WWE kind of wrestling but its not. After my friend explained what it was I wanted to try it out and see how it will be. When I first met the coach for wrestling Eddy Gudoy I thought he looked like a chill and easygoing coach at first. I got to know him a bit before practice before we started.

            But I was wrong Coach Eddy was tough and really strict when it came to practice time. I’ve never been so pushed hard in my life before. But this was a change point in my life where things got hard more challenging. Lifting weights is another part of becoming a good wrestler. Even though I never lifted weights before I am willing to try something new.  

With this new sport it comes with new responsibilities like time management and keeping up with schoolwork and grades. So what I did to make myself more accustomed to my lifestyle now is to be more productive and efficient when I work. Also having to be more studious now because of grade checks. With this new sport that I’m involved in my parents expect more from me because of all the activities I’m doing.

            From then on my life and my wrestling sport has been a great success and I am happy the way I am now. Because right now I am a stronger and healthier person now then I was before because of the changes I made when I was a freshman. Its gotten me the way I am now more independent, hard worker, and responsible for my own self.  

Changes

What i did to my new blog is chose a new template in the background because before it was messy and hard to see. So now it should look more clean and understandable. What I also did was make a new picture from scratch using photoshop and aperture.

Who to blame?

Tourist have came to hawaii for many years and many more to come. But some tourist do not know the safety and the dangerous things hawaii has to offer. The case with David Potts a 44 year old tourist was foolishly dancing around a blowhole at Nakalele point. and without noticing anything a wave came up right behind David and knocked hime into the blowhole killing him. In my opinion the one to blame is the tourist because its not the state fault. This is because signs were issued by the blowhole to be cautious to be aware around your surroundings and to watch out where you are going.

Even after one day after Pott's accident another person was knocked off a cliff 100 yards off shore this would not happen if the state would put more signs warning anyone to be aware or to stay off from the cliff side. I think it was the states fault on this one because of the lack of signage they issued to keep people safe.
