wrestling

Its getting to be that time of year again, Michigan high school wrestling finals. I was very lucky enough to be on a team where we went to team states all four years I wrestled. The experiences there at Kellogg Arena in Batllecreek Michigan I will remember for the rest of my life. I was also very fortunate to be able to go to individual states my senior year. Although I didn't medal, It was a big accomplishment to me, and to my family. The sport of wrestling takes a lot out of you. But, it has such a great reward for people who give everything they have from the end of October to the beginning of March.  

biggest regret

My biggest regret is not being their for her, and being selfish. Just recently I lost the love of my life, and now I'm just sitting here, broken, thinking of all the things I did wrong, all the things I never said or should've said. It defiantly follows the not pattern. I regret how I treated her and how I acted. She is way too good for me. I believe there is a quote some where that says you don't know what you truly have until its gone, or something like that. This relates to lies and deception, by making myself blind to how I treated her and how I took her granted. I deceived myself that everything was ok, until she walked out, now I'm just sitting here, writing this post, wishing that this wasn't the example I have, and  that I still had her.

RA

So after a long, but short process, The Defiance College student life staff decided that I will get to be an RA next year. I'm very excited for this new role ill get to be a part of. I've always known I wanted to help people, (criminal justice major). I defiantly think this will help me get adjusted to being thrown into any situation, and just being ready to face it head on. I just hope I will be respected.

week five

When Meyer talks about lying is a cooperative act, she means that even if you are being the one lied too, you agree to being lied to. You don't question their lie, you believe its the truth. When she said that lying is a way for us to connect what we wish to be, I believe she means that if I want people to believe that I'm strong, ill tell my buddies that I squat 600 pounds. Id agree that we are against lying but covertly for it. We tell people that we hate when people lie, or we get mad when some lies to us, but, we are all hypocritical.  we will all lie to get ahead, protect, or avoid something or someone. Some of the techniques to spot liars are body behavior and how the person tells the story. I think we should learn the techniques is to spot liars and to kind of replay how we tell lies and see if we do those things too. I think honesty is worth preserving, but to some degree. If we are truthful 100% of the time, there would be so many murders, divorces, and other bad things. You cant have a child lose his/her innocence just because you have to tell her the truth about Santa Claus and the Easter bunny.
