2010 Year in Review

Hard to believe 2010 is over already. It went by sooooo fast. Looking back at the year 2010, I can call it "the year of the growth" for me. I grew up and changed in many different ways. I got my license in June. That gave me more freedom and with more freedom comes more responsibility. Now, I literally go to places all by myself. I drive myself to school and to many different destinations. I spent four weeks in Boston alone, at the Summer Transportation Institution. I took in a lot from that program as I know have some experience of being in college. I also learned a great deal a lot about the field of engineering and transportation. And I got to experience life on the East Coast in the summer. It's freaking humid and hot. I had a lot of fun though. In cross country, I made great strides this season. My times were relatively consistent as I hovered around the 20:00 mark. My 2010 PR was 19:25. I pushed myself to the limit as I ran A group for most part of the season. It all started off in Mammoth Camp, where everything changed. My whole perspective of running changed. I had tons of fun running this XC season, especially with Matt and Mark in A group. Next year, I will enjoy it. Senior year, last season. In golf, I made plenty of improvement and growth too. I worked diligently and hard during the season. I was determined to up and improve my game and that happened. I led the team in scoring for one match and that was cool. I even coached one match since my coach had to leave. But I learned that hard work will eventually pay off. The time and effort I spent will determine how everything goes. As a sophomore in high school, I grew up also. Both semesters, I finished with a 4.0 GPA and that was a relief from freshmen year. I learned how to handle my classes and learned how to study properly. Everything clicked at the right time for me. 2010 was the year of the growth as I matured and improve in many different aspects. Now, 2011 is here and I hope for more improvement. This is going to be a tough year as I'll be applying for college in 10 months! With that, Happy New Year and may 2011 bring everyone blessing.
