     Things I really liked about this class is always working on assignments that teach us on how to improve on ourselves and ways to become a great and successful person, learning from other successful people. Also, always reading our 100 goals journal every single day to keeps our minds fresh on what we want to accomplish in our life. Oh yeah, and also the free time.

     There isn't really anything I dislike about the class. Just wish there was more free time sometimes.

     Ways you can possibly improve this great class is to make sure every single student is always writing a goal during reading the 100 goals journal. Making sure they at least write one goal a day. Maybe also letting some students give recommendations on successful people we should learn on.

     A highlight for me in this class was a funny moment. When we had to go up and say one thing and say something true and say something that's not true and the rest of the class has to guess it. I said "I've been to a drake concert." or "Drake is my dad." and then whole class began laughing. Obviously the thing a lied about was Drake being my dad.

     Honestly I do not thing I gave it my best in this class. I feel like I could've have worked a little harder and write in more detail when it came to writing about the success electronic portfolio posts.  m

"Reach out and touch someone"
-Communication is key to become successful. I am a quiet shy person. Lately I have been communicating to others more often and to people I don't know much. Talking to other gave me more opportunities to myself, school and soccer related. Getting to know people and have connections with them can help you. Also, when I will be going to college, I will make sure to talk to others and make new friends.

-Adaptability is an important seed to be successful.. Adaptability means the quality of being able to adjust to new conditions. This is very important because in your road to success, there will be new and different conditions, constantly changing, the road does not stay the same.

I will need to have perseverance because in becoming a professional soccer player, there will be difficult days and times where you will not be playing well, but you have to continue on practicing and become better.

- Having a positive perspective is a must have to be great. Perspective means the view of things. Always have a positive look of things. Negative perspectives can lead to doubt, sadness, depression, etc. For example, I was mostly a bench player my senior year of soccer. Many people on the team that were bench saw it in a negative way. I tried seeing it in a positive way. It means I had to practice more and work harder to earn a starting spot. Which I did get about 3 or 4 times out of the 12 league games. I took advantage of becoming a bench player and when I came on I made sure I brought energy to the game. I ended up scoring 5 goals. This year was the most goals I scored in high school. I was pretty proud of what I accomplished. I have improved as a person and player through this experience.

School Break Days

       My Spring Break went well. The first thing that I did was played our first game on Friday with our new team that we have made with friends. We lost the game 3-0. The following day we had another game with the team and we won this game 2-0. Then we played our third game last Friday and we lost 5-0. The coach was disappointed in us so the next the we had practice at 6am. Hope we win our next game. Places I went this spring break was around DTLA on my way to the soccer games. A big soccer game that I watched was the Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich game. It was a good game and Real Madrid won 2-1. Throughout the break I would work very little on the Senior Defense, I am still not done and need to continue working on it.
